Love Turkey? Hate Turkey?
"Love Turkey? Hate Turkey?
As most expats will tell you, living in Turkey can be a little difficult. The Turkish culture is not explicit or easy to adapt to.
Turks often show acts of kindness and forego their daily paradigms in their dealings with foreigners. Expats living in Turkey thus create comfort zones by avoiding the strains of Turkish paradigms."

Turkey's EU accession process on track
"Turkey's EU accession process on track 14.04.2008
The European Union should admit Turkey, urges Jim Murphy, the British minister for Europe, in his article printed by the FAKT daily.
Press review by Aleksander Kropiwnicki
The process of Union enlargement has been a success story and should be continued, believes British Minister for Europe Jim Murphy. The future Turkish membership would be profitable both for Turkey and the EU. It can turn out to be as important as the accession of Central and East European states after the end of the cold war. Turkey has a good chance to become one of the ten most developed economies by 2050. The difficult process of democratic reforms is already underway in the state. Rejecting any country just for having a Muslim majority would be the best gift for radical Islamic movements. For all those reasons the United Kingdom supports and will continue to support Turkish accession, writes Jim Murphy."

Turkey's Turning Point: Could there be an Islamic Revolution in Turkey? - Middle East Forum
"Turkey's Turning Point
Could there be an Islamic Revolution in Turkey?
by Michael Rubin
National Review Online
April 14, 2008
Few U.S. policymakers have heard of Fethullah Gülen, perhaps Turkey's most prominent theologian and political thinker. Self-exiled for more than a decade, Gülen lives a reclusive life outside Philadelphia, Pa. Within months, however, he may be as much a household a name in the United States as is Ayatollah Khomeini, a man who was as obscure to most Americans up until his triumphant return to Iran almost 30 years ago."

Is the EU helping or hurting Turkish democracy?
"Is the EU helping or hurting Turkish democracy?
The EU is out of step with Turkish democracy. Europe is treating Turkish democracy, not as a process, but as a series of disparate events. This approach is flawed. It has a negative impact on the political dynamics of Turkey and hurts Turkish-EU relations. The last case of concern is the EU reaction to the closure indictment against the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). The EU has responded with combative and harsh criticism to the decision of the Turkish judiciary."

Turkey needs more effective media to reach out to Central Asia - Turkish Daily News Apr 14, 2008
"Turkey needs more effective media to reach out to Central Asia
Monday, April 14, 2008
Ali KÃœLEBÄ°
Mass communication is gradually becoming more technical around the world. States especially use every kind of communication channel on the targeted audience in accordance with their own national strategies. Communication today is a part of a psychological war and one of the most important components of imperialist global communication, which is commonly defined as a �soft war.� So, despite our monstrous neglect, nearly 300 million soul brothers living in the region that stretches from Eastern Europe to the heart of Asia do fight a war of resistance to set aside the interaction of states that have targeted them through foreign culture in whatsoever and various strategies."
