Senenin o sancılı dönemleri geldi. Takvimler Aralık ayını gösterdiği zaman kafam direkt iki yazıya odaklanıyor. Tüm seneyi gözden geçirip, neler çıkmıştı, hangi albümler ve tekliler hayatımızda yer etti derleyip yazmak için geçen seneyi tekrar hızlı bir şekilde dinleyip bir öz çıkartmaya çalışıyorum.
#HürriyetKİLİS - An area in the southern province of Kilis that will be used for creating a rail link with neighboring Syria will be cleared of landmines in the next month, says the governor of the province. He also says this de-mining effort is not related to a recently passed law on de-mining.
BAGHDAD - A double suicide attack and two other bombings kill at least 41 people across Iraq in the deadliest day since US forces pulled out of towns and cities nationwide just over a week ago. The home of a senior security official and his brother is targeted in an attack in northern town of Tal Afar, which is populated mainly by Turkmen minority
MOSCOW - While the US president ends his keynote visit to Moscow and arrives in Italy for the G-8 summit, his two-day meeting yields no stunning progress as the two ex-Cold War enemies remain at odds on various disputed issues. After the Russia trip, he joins fellow world leaders for the G-8 meet where the global crisis, climate change and world hunger top agenda.
GUESSING - Guessing, a small town in Austria, is reaping the fruits of foreseeing the renewable energy boom in the early 1990s. Today the town produces more energy than it can consume, creating extra revenue with sales. An energy plant opened last week has attracted investors from Sweden, Germany and France, the town’s mayor says.
MARDİN - A Syriac man, whose life story is like a film, is a part of this year's Sinemardin Film Festival in the southeastern Mardin. Well-known journalist and director Nuri Kino, who was born in Midyat but raised in Sweden, says, 'I have seen many red carpets in my life, but I have never been this emotional and happy to participate in a film festival.'
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, five Turkic nations became independent and Turkey postured to fill the power vacuum. Mostly, this backfired. Eager for independence, these new nations did not want to be patronized and Turkey was ill prepared to understand the power dynamics and social affinities in these countries. Moreover, domestic political and economic problems consumed Ankara throughout the 1990s, making Turkey a confusing partner to deal with. The country’s coalition government changed on a yearly basis, each with a different vision for the region: A Turkish nationalist party representative would travel with a pan-Turkic agenda while a member of Parliament from an Islamic party would advocate religious unity.
Another setback for Obama’s liberal policies: This one concerns the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison. The Senate, a few weeks ago, with a 90 to 6 vote, withheld the $80 million needed to close the facility because the administration failed to provide information about where the detainees would go.
SIVAS - Sivas, a small city in Central Anatolia, is polishing its image with the success of the local football club in this year’s Turkish Super League. Whether or not Sivasspor hoists the cup this weekend, many say Sivas can still claim victory for shedding its nationalistic reputation and giving people a reason to talk about the city other than the 1993 Madımak massacre
