Antalya’s ’high IQ school’ a dumb idea?
We salute the southern city of Antalya for its new initiative to open a primary school for gifted students, specifically those with IQs over 130. As a small newspaper with an outsized percentage of our own "brainiacs," many of us have benefited from the special treatment such status bestows. We can only endorse this expansion of educational opportunity as reported in our "South" section yesterday by reporter Betül Çal. We do so, however, with some hesitation.
Me as just another traitor and more Greek than a Greek
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was telling the truth when he bravely said that systematic efforts to force non-Muslim minorities (during and after WWII) out of Turkey constituted an act of fascism. Turkey would have been a better place if today its Greek, Armenian and Jewish populations amounted to hundreds - instead of tens - of thousands. Ironically, one could probably not find in these lands more than a few men who are pure Turks by DNA.
Searching for iron axes (and learning to use them) in 2009
A first column of the new year should be one that shares a vision, a look ahead, a few ideas about solving all the problems we report upon daily. After all, 2008 was an innovative year at the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review. We have added greatly to the newspaper: refocused business pages, highlighted sections on critical sectors, a "Horizons" page each day examines Turkey’s near abroad.
A crucial party convention
Excitement has gripped northern Cyprus ahead of the convention of the main-opposition National Unity Party, or UBP. Excitement levels are high because the convention will likely elect the next prime minister of northern Cyprus. Elections are due for February of 2010 and in the public opinion polls the UBP is shown once again as the leading party, with over 40 percent of the popular support, while the senior partner of the ruling coalition, then socialist Republican Turks’ Party, or CTP, appears to have lost considerable support compared to the 2005 elections and now enjoys only around 25 percent support
Alcohol referees say Efes out of bounds
ISTANBUL - Efes Pilsen has built a reputation of being a tough basketball team to beat, but this time its shot at being more popular could be blocked by a new law. Authorities are working on regulation to ban alcoholic drinks as sponsors of sports clubs, putting the team’s future in doubt

Jerusalem race highlights rift
JERUSALEM - Israel goes to the polls for municipal elections today which highlight the persistent political and religious divisions in the country and particularly in Jerusalem. The elections are also seen as a major test of strength ahead of general elections on Feb. 10, but most Palestinians residing in Jerusalem, are expected to boycott the elections
