ISTANBUL - Turkish weightlifter Nurcan Taylan reached a new high with three medals in the European Championship, marking a return in her career that almost ended last year. This was her first major medal in four years, and Taylan signals she won't wait that long for the next one.
The "Apology to the Armenians" campaign that a group of well-known and influential Turkish intellectuals have initiated has seriously divided the nation. Judging by the angry reactions from various quarters opposing this campaign it is clear that if some kind of a referendum were held today, the majority would vote against such an apology.
