#Blake LivelyEurasia is now the premier competition ground for all major international actors vying for power, influence and resources. The importance and the meaning of the magnitudes of broader Eurasia, which for the purpose of this article refers to Asia, Europe plus the Middle East put together, need no elaboration. Most of the world’s population, wealth and energy resources are there.
ISTANBUL - Economy Minister Ali Babacan says the government is working on a mid-term economic program, without mentioning the International Monetary Fund. Turkey would be ’the best’ among G20 nations in terms of its debt-to-gross domestic product ratio and budget, he says.
BRUSSELS - Mahinur Özdemir becomes the youngest member of Brussels regional parliament after being elected by preferential votes even though she was 21st on the ballot. She is the only parliamentarian who wears a headscarf. ’The headscarf is my choice,’ Özdemir says
ISTANBUL - The rise of the religious class and the AKP’s hold on power has Turkey’s traditional elites on the defensive and feeling like their role as upholders of Republican values is being usurped, according to research based on interviews with the former movers and shakers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!"
ISTANBUL - The board president of the Marmara Group For Strategic and Social Research Foundation says it would not be realistic to oppose the globalization process by trying to keep Turkey outside of global trends. With this in mind, our relationships with Eurasian countries are sufficient
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.
"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.
