#Sabancı ÜniversitesiBRUSSELS - I’m writing this article from Brussels. The European Commission invited a group of journalists to Brussels and Berlin. The timing is important because last week there were elections in the European Parliament. The result of these elections will influence Turkey’s already slow-moving relations with the EU.
Letters are pouring in from supporters of the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, complaining that without concrete examples some "obsessed critics" like this writer were attacking the "ever-democratic" AKP government of the country and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Turkey has just been drawn to yet another controversy with the officially supported science magazine, "Bilim ve Teknik," refraining from publishing a 16-page cover story that highlighted Darwin’s ideas. As also reported in these pages yesterday, the story prepared by the magazine’s chief editor, Dr. Çiğdem Atakuman, was removed at the last minute by Professor Ömer Cebeci, the vice president of TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council), which sponsors the publication.
Tarhan Erdem and his team conducted the largest field research in Turkey on behalf of the Hürriyet daily. They did one-on-one interviews with 7,000 people in 12 regions (about 44 cities). The study titled, "Who are we? Cultural, Economic and Social Life Style" represents 51 million "adults" over age 15, a subject that is much talked about yet known less.
If you don’t already know him, let me introduce you to former Sephardi chief rabbi of Israel, Mordechai Eliyahu, an 80-year-old man of faith. In May 2007, he wrote a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to give him some religious advice on what to do with the Palestinians. As reported in the Jerusalem Post on May 30, 2007, the retired chief rabbi was furious about the rockets fired from Gaza into Israel and held the whole population in the Strip responsible. "An entire city holds collective responsibility for the immoral behavior of individuals," he argued.
Sometimes an article by one man summarizes the mindset of millions. The piece titled “Bam Stirs Fear in Israel,” written by Ralph Peters and published in the New York Post on January 1, was like that. Fearing that “Bam” (i.e, Obama) could “stab Israel in the back” (i.e., tell her to stop the bloodbath in Gaza), Mr. Peters was trying to persuade his readers why it was crucial that the Israeli military kept on bombing the Gaza Strip -- a deadly operation which has killed more than 150 women and children up to this point.
People around the world live with nearly the same reflexes. Wherever you go, just like us, they too have one or more historical leaders... they too get excited by sports. Some become fanatics of football, some of cricket, some of baseball. But very few countries live with music like the Argentineans do. I was always told it was, but I couldn’t believe it could be that much a part of their lives. I went and saw, and was fascinated as well as admiring of them. Morning, night and day is filled with music. I’m not talking about just some kind of music. An Argentinean life is tango... first I thought it was a tourist attraction. But as I walked in the streets of Buenos Aires, went in and out of cafes, diners and shows, I understood that tango is part of an Argentinean’s everyday life.
It has become tough to watch the global breaking news as a Muslim. Once in a while a bomb goes off, or gunmen fire their weapons, in some part of the world killing innocent people. And the people who do this butchery very often act in the name of Islam. For a more than a billion Muslims who, like me, think that human life is sacred and invaluable, this evil committed in the name of our faith is a big disgrace.
Soner Çağaptay is a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He is also a prolific author, whose commentaries about Turkey appear quite frequently in prestigious newspapers and magazines. When you read them, you can’t help but sense what appears to be his strong political orientation against the Justice and Development Party, or AKP, which has governed Turkey since 2002. The takeaway message, it seems, is that the AKP is perilously Islamist and is taking the country away from its secular principles. The second message is that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his authoritarian "single party" regime is the best thing that ever happened to the Turks.
The modernization project of Turkey as regards to European Union (EU) membership should be one of the priorities of Turkish diplomacy and other state institutions, Turkish President Abdullah Gul told Friday at during a lunch in Ankara attended by Turkey's ambassadors.
I was impressed by a photo published after Turgut Ozal died. I assume it was in 'Aktuel' magazine. It was taken in Diyarbakir. Ozal was playing a folk dance with a yellow-red-green handkerchief in his hand. I don't know if he was the prime minister or president when the photo was taken.
The future of women in Turkey is in danger. Yes, this danger sits before us in a very concrete way. Many thanks to Hurriyet reporter Ayse Arman. But more than just to Arman, thanks to Professor Serif Mardin, who I have always been proud of to have had as a teacher.
If what you wanted to do was sketch the profile of someone who represents the "reasonable majority" of this country, you could hardly find a better person than Koksal Toptan (who was just elected Speaker of the Turkish Parliament) as your subject. And so today, we see that a representative of Turkey's "reasonable majority" sits in the Speaker's seat in the Turkish Parliament.
Speaking at the opening of a summit of African leaders in the Ethopian capital of Addis Ababa today, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized fanaticism as dragging the world towards crisis, noting "as Turkey's participation in the EU comes closer, these scenarios of disaster, such as the clashes of civilizations, turn out to be empty."
