Ahead of the most important Hebrew holiday, Passover, more than a million Israeli citizens went abroad for their vacations, and 20% of them headed to Turkey. It was recovery of the tourist flow.
The tradition of leaving Israel on Passover – the memorial day of Jewish Exodus from Egypt in 1312 B.C. – is explained by several reasons.

A city between the past and present
Monday 14th, April 2014 / 18:25 Written by Oman Observer
By Manuel Meyer -
Istanbul’s historic centre provides the must-see part of the programme — the gigantic sultan’s palace, Topkapi, and the magnificent Hagia Sophia, the main cathedral of the erstwhile Byzantine empire before it became a mosque.
Next to it, the six minarets of the imposing Blue Mosque tower into the sky. One should also pause at one of the many cafes to smoke from a water pipe. And if you haven’t then also tried your hand at bargaining in the Grand Bazaar, you haven’t really visited Istanbul.

Domestic violence in Turkey - Today's Zaman, your gateway to Turkish daily news
Domestic violence in Turkey
15 April 2014, Tuesday /KATHY HAMILTON, İSTANBUL
There are days when I feel overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness when I open the paper and read of yet another senseless murder of a woman by her spouse or family.
Just over a week ago, two more women were murdered by their husbands. One of these murders hit particularly close to home for me. A young American woman, Esther Parker, reportedly was stabbed to death by her husband. Even though I did not know Esther personally, we had several friends in common and it is possible that our paths may have actually crossed when she lived in İstanbul. Tragically, Esther's name has now been added to the ever-growing list of women in Turkey who were have been killed by their husbands.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's series of regressive and anti-democratic political priorities and aspirations in both domestic and foreign policy are, in many ways, considered to be contradictory to Turkey's long-term interests and are being criticized for lacking vision and specific ideas.

This infamous headline is still being recalled by Erdogan almost every week as evidence that he is able to tackle all barriers. He exploits it to portray himself as a victim.

Erdoğan's art of enemy multiplication
TR_ISTA - 15.04.2014 10:56:36
It is true that politics can be defined as more of an art than as a science.
But what sort of art would that be? For Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it is the art of multiplying his enemies. It is Erdoğan's political strategy to create enemies and then proceed by fighting these enemies. Enemies are carefully selected and those organizations or groups that lack self-defense mechanisms are specifically selected. As the hostilities and animosities are imaginary, the winner of the war against them is obvious. As he fights these imaginary enemies, Erdoğan grows and support for him increases. He turns into a mythological hero by fighting these imaginary enemies. You could view this political strategy as a form of ghost hunting.

Can Turkey work miracle on current account deficit?
Turkey’s current account deficit, about $65 billion last year, is the ailing side of the country's economy. Ankara’s middle-term economic program projects the gap downward, to $55.5 billion, by the end of 2014. More optimistic projections see it narrowed even further, below $50 billion. Trying to reduce the gap without reducing dependence on foreign energy supplies would, however, require a complex effort.
