I wonder if the Pope will meet with...

"Turkey's Culture of Violence
Posted on April 15th, 2008 by Jenny White
The murder of Italian artist Pippa Bacca has raised a discussion in the Turkish media of violence in general in Turkey and violence against women in particular. Bacca was hitchhiking across Europe and the Middle East dressed as a bride in a demonstration for world peace and was picked up in Turkey by a truck driver who raped and murdered her. (click for article) While a crime like this can happen anywhere, it also provides an occasion to take a closer look at the particular circumstances of violent behavior in Turkey and its relation to being male and female. In a previous post, I mentioned the glorification of fighting and dying in educational textbooks. Violence is presented as bringing honor to men. Guarding honor is a theme in violence against women (from surveillance and beatings by male relatives all the way to so-called "honor" killings of women who disobey family expectations — or even just appear to), but also in violence by men against other men."

"Turkey convicts 53 mayors for backing Kurdish Roj-TV

"Mehmet Yilmaz: 'peace walk' of Pippa, 'freedom walk' of Turkish women
We all felt deep sorry after hearing of the rape and murder of Italian 'peace bride' Pippa Bacca. We were also ashamed since she was a guest in Turkey.
Actually, it is not only the tragic ending that Pippa lived that we should be ashamed of; we should be ashamed that she is not the first woman raped and killed in this country.
I want to propose something here.
I propose to continue the mission that Pippa started."

"Sarkozy dispatches envoy to convince Turkey
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
French President Nicolas Sarkozy dispatches Jean Pierre Jouillet to Ankara in an effort to convince Turkey to participate in the Union for the Mediterranean. Suspicious that it is a French plot to keep Turks out of the European Union, Turkey has thus far turned a cold shoulder despite the fact that Sarkozy's original plan has been watered down

"TURKEY: One year after Malatya murders, time to address the causes
By Güzide Ceyhan
Turkey's Protestants are this week commemorating the first anniversary of the murders of three Protestants - Necati Aydin, Tillman Geske and Uður Yüksel – in Malatya. Güzide Ceyhan, a Turkish Protestant, in a personal commentary for Forum 18 News Service http://www.forum18.org, notes that Turkey's Alliance of Protestant Churches described 2007 as a 'dark year' for their community. She says little has changed to give greater protection for the religious freedom of small religious communities, with some hiring private security companies or locking their doors during worship services. Ceyhan argues that dialogue with all religious communities and non-believers must begin so that the State's claim of being 'equally close to all religions' becomes a reality; long-term educational efforts must be initiated to foster pluralism and the equality of all citizens; and the state must urgently take steps to remove imminent threats of attacks on smaller communities, as well as punish those who have committed attacks. If Turkey does not do this, she argues, 'we will not have started to genuinely address the causes of the three murders.'"

"EU parts ways with nationalists
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Mehmet Ali Birand
European Commission President Barroso and the EU Enlargement Commissioner Rehn's visit to Turkey last week revealed important fault lines in Turkey-EU relations. I listened to what Barroso and Rehn had to say during and after the visit and reached the following conclusion: Turkey's European adventure has reached a very definite crossroads. The result of the closure case will either put an end to our relations with Europe or will signal a new beginning."
