Public hospitals do not make law
In virtually no society is the issue of abortion easy. It is a matter both deeply personal and broadly societal as it touches on tradition, faith, health and the rights of women. We acknowledge that there are and will be many views in Turkey as elsewhere on the ethics of terminating an unwanted pregnancy.
Coups, good coups and bad coups
It is one of the bad tricks of this profession: When there is a "bombshell" with an unknown fate, we are often dragged into the queue of commentators not necessarily because the bombshell is mature enough to comment on, but precisely because it is a bombshell and not commenting on it would be tantamount to "missing the agenda." The latest allegations of a coup attempt within the ranks of the armed forces, based on a document whose authenticity was still a mystery by the time this column was written, is a powerful example.
Army links border opening with Karabakh
ISTANBUL - Chief of Staff says borders with Armenia should be opened after Armenia’s withdrawal from occupied Azerbaijani territories. He also criticizes speculations of specific requests from the US about Afghanistan and Iraq, and says, ’The US did not put forward any specific request’
Deception
The basic principle of the Justice and Development Party, or AKP's, mentality in dealing with problems, whatever they might be, is to create a "pro-settlement" perception without necessarily committing themselves seriously to a settlement, particularly if a resolution of the problem at hand might be a painful or politically costly one.
Women’s rights are no 'Mehter march’
Among overused metaphors, that of the Ottoman " mehter march" is one. You have seen it on public holidays, the robed janissaries in their deliberate tempo: two steps forward, one back. We use the metaphor again, for it surely described the progress of women’s rights under the leadership of the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP.
Good education
While watching Mr. Obama deliver his speech in the Turkish Parliament, a thought came to my mind. About 30 years ago clairvoyants in the U.S. had foreseen that an African-American president would one day rule the country. Actually the predictions of the clairvoyants turned out to be true, or a perfect product named Mr. Barack Hussein Obama has been introduced to the American people.
G-20, EU & Hamas messages from the UK
Turkish President Abdullah Gül was recently on a state visit to Tanzania. During official talks, his host, the president of Tanzania reminded him that Turkey will be participating to the G-20 summit that will take place in London next month. "We see Turkey as our representative. Be our voice in the summit," he told Gül.
Ankara looks to Washington for NATO contention
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on the weekend he was convinced France would improve relations with NATO but stopped short of announcing a return to command structures his country quite four decades ago. It is, however, an open secret that France intends to announce its decision to rejoin the Alliance’s military structures at an April summit in Strasbourg to mark the 60th anniversary of the Western military pact.
