Dayanamadı, üzerindekini çıkarıp ona verdi: İki gözü iki çeşme hayranı mutluluktan uçtu
Gösteri dünyasının bazı ünlüleri hayranlarıyla aralarına mesafe koymayı çok sever... Kendilerine ne kadar çok sevgi gösterilirse gösterilsin o sınırları korumayı tercih eder. Ama bazıları da bunun tam tersi, hayranlarıyla daha yakın olmayı sever.

Turkey gets two-goal win in friendly fixture
ISTANBUL - Only days after a tiring Turkcell Super League campaign coming to an end, the Turkish national football team manages to concentrate on the friendly game against Azerbaijan. Fatih Terim’s boys beat their neighbors 2-0. Turkey will take on France in Lyon tomorrow.
PKK the one to fear oil development
An extremely important development took place Monday in northern Iraq. You can certainly read about it in yesterday’s papers. For the first time, the Regional Kurdish Administration in northern Iraq allowed a private group, one partnered with Çukurova’s Genel Enerji, to extract its own petroleum and export it through Turkey.
PM Erdoğan has to be consistent to be credible
Prime Minister Erdoğan has a peculiar habit. He sets high targets with his various initiatives, outbursts or statements and then fails to meet those targets himself. We have seen this in Ankara’s efforts at rapprochement with Armenia, as well as his angry remarks against Israeli President Shimon Peres at Davos.
Turkish summer art lessons bring bliss
The sun is out, the weather has made up its mind to stay warm and Moda is swarming with visitors and locals alike sunning themselves along the coast and filling themselves with bottomless cups of tea. It is summer and soon the city’s arts will move outdoors or remain a distant reminder of how we fill up the winter months.
New road block on the ’road map’
ANKARA - The road to reconciliation between Ankara and Yerevan takes a detour as Prime Minister Erdoğan stops off in Baku to meet with Azerbaijani President Aliyev. In a joint press conference, Erdoğan once again states that a solution to Nagorno-Karabakh problem, namely the retreat of Armenian troops, is the key to opening the border between Turkey and Armenia
Cyprus after the elections
I read the 48-page manifesto of the political party that won the general elections in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, or TRNC. Like a sign on the window of a barber shop that reads "Free haircut tomorrow" but remains there always, the manifesto basically says, "The system of 1974 will come back, just vote for the National Union Party!"
Pretensions
Following the March 29 municipal elections, Turkey is entering a new era as the electorate has finally understood what is going on in the country and has voted accordingly. This means the voters have given the government party a warning and switched on the green light for the opposition. Actually the prime minister is the one who turned the municipal elections into a general election and a confidence vote for his party. It is not clear whether he got a vote of confidence or not, but saying he "learned his lessons" is important. Now we will see if he learned his lessons or not.
’Autumn pain’: A purgatory? Not quite
"Tipota, vre, ohi, ne, avrio, simera, nani nani, moraki mou," words scattered in a dramatic sequence of phrases spelled out by trembling mouths accompanied by faces in close-up with watery eyes, staying fixed on the lens, longer that one would expect; Greek words popping up in undisciplined manner among disciplined lines of phrases in Turkish, probably sounding incomprehensive to the small Turkish audience at my local cinema where I watched Tomris Giritlioğlu’s latest movie "Autumn Pain," a new movie which is set in September 1955 in Istanbul against the background of the rampage by the Turkish mob against the Greek and other minorities of the city.
France’s truffle faces Chinese competition
SARLAT, FRANCE - In recent years unscrupulous vendors have been found slipping Chinese fungi into baskets of black truffles where they soak up the pungent smell, or serving them on a plate sprayed with artificial truffle scent. Only few consumers spotted the difference
Gaza war defers row over Abbas presidency
JERUSALEM - Israel’s deadly assault on Gaza has postponed the debate over the legitimacy of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas with a shift in the priority to his rival Hamas, which dedicating its energy to fight. The war in Gaza may end in the intensification of support for Hamas, but Abbas may endure hard times to regain support, experts believe.
We belly dance, they tango
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.
Speaker calls parties to join in a cease-fire
ANKARA - The speaker of Parliament, Köksal Toptan, says he believes common sense emerges out of the ballot box, noting that the founding and the closure of parties should always be in the hands of the people. On the question of compulsory religion courses, Toptan says they do not make much sense in practice and suggests it would be much better to remove them
