Basting Turkey's New Prime Minister by Daniel Pipes
Basting Turkey's New Prime Minister by Daniel Pipes The Washington Times August 28, 2014
[N.B.: WT title: "Talking Turkey with an Islamist academician"]
As Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ascends today to the presidency of Turkey, his hand-picked successor, Ahmet Davutoğlu, simultaneously assumes Erdoğan's old job of prime minister. What do these changes portend for Turkey and its foreign policy? In two words: nothing good.

Choosing between freedom and Islamism
"The book you are holding in your hand is a book of a new era marked for a more beautiful world. It is obvious that a more beautiful world cannot be achieved without a freer world. And to achieve a freer world, taboos must be broken. All kinds of chains that bind freedoms must be broken."
This excerpt is from the preface of the first edition of the book "This is Religion," by Turan Dursun.

Turkey making racism ordinary, by Uzay Bulut
Insulting other nations on TV might not be a method of boosting one's presidential election campaign in most countries, but in Turkey, this method seems to work, at least for Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
When he was asked of his earlier discriminatory statements during a live interview, five days before the August 10 presidential elections, Erdogan said:
"One of them came and said I was a Georgian. Then another came up and, I beg your pardon, called me uglier things, saying I was Armenian."

The Proof is in the Prophet

The contrary is not true. The details of the life of the man who introduced Islam to humanity would be at best X-rated in the movie theaters of the world, probably banned. If we accept as pure, the closest to divinity we may come on earth, the collective conscience of earth's mothers, Islam then has to be false. A false religion that makes false claims.

Turkey, Cyprus, and Israel: Part 3 (completes the trilogy) | Israel Hayom
UZAY BULUT |
Thursday August 7, 2014
For part 1, see "Turkey, Cyprus, and Israel."
For part 2, see "Turkey, Cyprus, and Israel: Part 2."
Ever since Israel's military operation in Gaza started, Turkish officials and institutions have been in a constant competition to condemn or even curse Israel.
On July 18, the Foreign Relations Commission of the Turkish Parliament issued a joint declaration in which all political parties in the parliament condemned Israel: "We vehemently condemn the attacks of Israel against the Palestinian people, which do not comply with the concept of a legitimate state and which trample on international law and the most basic human rights and [we also condemn] its ongoing massacre in which civilians including children and women are indiscriminately killed."

What about Turkey and Cyprus? Part 2 | Uzay Bulut
For part 1, see "For What about Turkey and Cyprus?"
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in his presidential election rally in the southern province of Mersin that Israel will be tried by an international court if it continues to act with its current mentality. "We will see that. As Turkey, we will struggle for that," he added.
Ironically, when the European Court of Human Rights convicted Turkey in May of this year for its crimes during the 1974 invasion of Cyprus, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turkey would ignore the ECHR ruling to pay compensation to the Republic of Cyprus.

Turkey's Kurds & Cyprus' tCypriots
As either unitary state or federation solutions are discussed as replacements to Cyprus' 1960 and Turkey's 1923 unworkable constitutions, should we abide by "if a right is a right too many for Turkey's Kurdish community (circa 23% of population) then that right is a right too many for Cyprus' tCypriot community too (circa 15%), and vice versa." Is the adoption of this fair logic the catalyst to securing just solutions for both UN countries.
