Zionist occupation has reached Turkey shores
We learned about the 1967 war when the bodies of the dead washed up on our shores. We were so estranged from one another then in a geography where we share a common fate that officially Turkey did not give it importance. In fact, it saw no harm in covertly cooperating with the Zionist oppressors… DEVAMI>>>…

Debating “the end of the Europe myth”
At a time when an attempt is being made to bury Turkey in internal politics again and especially when new hopes are being pumped up by producing elitist Gandhis, important ruptures should not be overlooked. At least essential global discussions at the bottom of the agenda should not be overlooked by intellectuals. DEVAMI>>>…

Turkey’s opportunity to veto Israel
Ignoring every kind of diplomatic courtesy and practice, the Israeli Foreign Minister’s comparing Turkey’s Prime Minister to a pharaoh means that either he has great self-confidence or he is not aware of what is happening in the world. In this sense ironically a “Saddam psychology” dominates Israeli rulers. It is a misleading delusion that sees the world from its own narrow window and is imprisoned in the narrow horizon of its own story of power and legitimacy. DEVAMI>>>…

This kind of diplomacy for this kind of “mentality”
Many people did not find appropriate the diplomatic method Israel used to show reaction to Turkey. The primitive diplomatic behavior Israel resorted to brought out something important: its image more than what Israel is… In particular, in Turkey it is known that a pro-Israeli stance that reduces pro-Westernism to being Israel-centered is dominant in both the Turkish Foreign Service and the Westernized elite.

Minaret symbolism of the “other”
It appears that the scene which emerged from the minaret referendum in Switzerland will be debated for some time. It is necessary to state from the outset that it is “surprising” that some are surprised by the results. In which European country would the results of such a vote be any different? In any case, the perception and reflection of the minaret prohibition as a new situation in Europe is an oddity belonging only to us. DEVAMI>>>…

Before imposing a new “Dayton” on Bosnia…
In recent days because the eyes of almost everyone from politicians to journalists are necessarily on our eastern neighbors and Southeastern Turkey, no one can pay much attention to events taking place in the Balkans. When our characteristic of being a society with a memory problem is taken into consideration, then there is nothing strange about the situation. DEVAMI>>>…

Israel is longing for February 28 days on Turkey ties
The reaction Israel showed to the postponement of the international dimension of the Anatolian Eagle War Games, the way they reflected this and the language they used should be analyzed well. If this diplomatic language is analyzed well, it will be possible to decipher both Israel’s perspective on Turkey and the diplomatic and strategic exigencies. DEVAMI>>>…

The shadow of history on problem-free relationship
Almost all of Turkey’s problems in foreign affairs that are a “pain in the neck” are extensions from the period when the Ottoman Empire was being purged. The continuation of these problems, in a sense, shows that the purge of the Ottomans is still going on. DEVAMI>>>…

Eastern Turkistan’s future
News coming out of Eastern Turkistan shows that the violence occurring has reached massacre proportions. Even numbers reflected by limited means to the outside world are sufficient to show the oppressive policies of the Chinese administration. The rosy picture that was painted during the Urumchi visit that President Gül made recently has suddenly turned bloody. DEVAMI>>>…

Is it a revolution of “some of the people”?
Actually everything is working Iranian style. There is a counter move for every move… As of the moment I began writing this article the latest news from Iran is: Hamaney met with Musavi; displays of protest have been prohibited, but the religious guide announced that he wanted the results of the elections to be investigated. In other words, authorities from the highest echelons of Iran’s system have taken charge of the situation. In spite of this, there is news that thousands of protesters have begun rushing towards the Meydan-ı Azadi. DEVAMI>>>…
