In this year's presidential election here in the U.S., the number two spot is becoming ever more important. Due to the continuing nasty campaign between Obama and Hillary, the Republicans actually think they may have a shot at retaining the White House, even if their candidate is too old, and a white male. But if McCain picks Condi Rice as... More Recent Articles

"Turks working abroad exceed 1.2 million Over 1.2 million Turkish citizens were working abroad in 55 countries as of the end of 2006, a report issued by the Labor and Social Security Ministry noted." More: TODAY'S ZAMAN  "Sign of maturity in Turkey By Amir Taheri, Special to Gulf News Published: April 08, 2008, 23:39 Even the best writers of political fiction could not have imagined it. But we may soon witness the highest echelon of the Turkish government leadership, president, the prime minister and almost all members of the Cabinet, banned from politics for at least five years." More: Gulfnews: Sign of maturity in Turkey  "...Another example is Turkey. Ever since the AKP came to power there has been an undermining of the rule of law. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Erdogan is nothing more than Bin Laden in a business suit. He might differ in tactics but he doesn't differ at all in his goals from the terrorist leader. The Turkish constitution explicitly makes Turkey a secular republic, with no offical religion and strict seperation of religion and government. Under Erdogan these provisions are being undone. Women, once forbidden to wear headscarves in government buildings or schools are now permitted to do so, and it probably won't be long before they are forced to do so. Already there are reports of women being attacked by men for not being properly covered. (I guess having acid thrown in your face is how the religion of peace expresses displeasure at your wardrobe.) It's pretty obvious that these attacks would not be happening if the scum attacking these women didn't feel emboldened by government actions and felt confident that they could get away with it."

Perhaps hoping Brussels might come to the rescue, party leaders in recent days have refocused attention on European Union-oriented reforms as a way of staving off the threat to their political future."

It seems however that it sent shockwaves through not only those in Turkey who believe that injustice is being done to the AKP, but also to some in Europe. “The correlation between the case and the entry talks was first invoked by Foreign Minister [Ali] Babacan,†said an EU diplomat, when I asked about Rehn’s statement."

It's Up to You By Lauren Stokes 1:10 am - 04/08/08 In every tourist shop in Vienna, you can buy these shirts that say 'No Kangaroos in Austria.' The first several times I saw these, they made no sense to me. The only purpose I could imagine was irony, and the only way they could be construed as ironic was if there were kangaroos in Austria, but as far as I could tell all they have here is polar bears."

It's Up to You  "EU reforms list handed to Turkish prime minister 07.04.08 18:59 (dpa) - The Turkish government department charged with co- ordinating the country's efforts to become a member of the European Union on Monday gave a list of laws to the prime minister's office that it said need to be changed immediately, reports said Monday.

Golf tourism is already experiencing strong growth in Turkey and revenues should hit 500 million euros by 2010, but now Turkey really means business and intends to take golf giant Spain on head-to-head with the Aegean province of Mugla as its secret weapon." More: Turkey Property News | Turkey goes head-to-head with Spain on Golf  "Ertugrul Ozkok: They have bad intentions There are two possible outlooks. One; after diminishing its own internal harmony, Turkey will look to lessen harmony in the West. If my first diagnosis is incorrect then this likelihood remains: Leading institutions and media organs are striving for the closure of the ruling AKP. Unfortunately, there is nobody in the ranks of the AKP to recognise this ambush." More: Ertugrul Ozkok: They have bad intentions  "Turk AKP to launch wider reform package, to seek compromise Turkey's ruling AKP decided on Monday to launch a wider democratization package rather than amending the Constitution to avoid a closure ruling from the Constitutional Court and to hold talks with the opposition parties. Analysts say the AKP's decision to let the case run its natural course is a positive development but remains cautious as uncertainties hang over whether the opposition supports the package or what the AKP would do if compromise fails. Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday his government would speed up political reforms required to join the EU after stalling for months amid opposition from nationalist parties."

Turks are very sensitive people, and they feel that they are facing political restrictions and discrimination in Germany, home to more Turkish expatriates than any other European country. In the 1950s many Turks emigrated from their homeland searching for work, and what Germany expected to be a temporary situation has turned into a permanent one. Germany has been slow about incorporating Turks and other visible minorities into German society."
