All of the 33 employees of Hedef Halk, a local newspaper in the Black Sea province of Samsun, Turkey, quit after the owner signed a protocol that would stop the newspaper from publishing reports about blackmail, theft, murder, suicide, traffic accidents, rape and sexual abuse. Luckily, the newspaper’s owner, Sabahattin Poyrazoglu, withdrew his signature from the protocol amid the employees’ protest, and the newspaper resumed publication.

Turkey’s role in the Arab Spring
Can Turkey play a role in the Arab Spring? Yes and no.
Yes, because Turkey has developed newfound soft power in the Middle East. Over the past decade, Ankara has painstakingly built influence in the region by fostering business networks and establishing state-of-the-art high schools to educate the future Arab elite. A recent survey by TESEV, an Istanbul-based think tank, measured perceptions of Turkey in the Middle East. According to the poll, Turkey is the most popular country in the region.

ROS-LEHTINEN: Time for Turkey to leave Cyprus in peace
Long-standing occupation amounts to annexation
Since its invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Turkey has claimed that it was acting as a protector and guarantor of the island’s security. But a closer examination of its actions on Cyprus indicates motivations of a very different character. Turkey’s invasion resulted in hundreds of thousands of Greek Cypriot refugees, who have been unable to return to their homes for almost 40 years. The international community has repeatedly condemned the illegal military occupation of Cyprus by Turkish troops. The United Nations Security Council has passed 75 resolutions calling for Turkey to allow Greek Cypriots to return to their homes and to withdraw its troops from Cyprus. Yet Turkey continues its occupation.

Turkish ruling Islamists' zeal worries EU diplomats
Published on 10 June 2012 - 9:23pm
European Union diplomats are expressing growing concern at what they see as the increasingly militant stance taken by Turkey's ruling Islamists.
They accuse Ankara of using probes into alleged plots against the government as a tool to jail and silence opponents and compromise the country's secular credentials by introducing Koran studies in public schools.
Other measures include lowering the age at which parents can send their children to Islamic religious schools, increasing pressure on those criticising Islam and restricting abortion.

The black Mercedes SUV speeds around the corner of the narrow mountain road. I spot an odd collection of lights down by the bay: they seem to be deep in the forest, lining this untouched stretch of the Aegean coastline on the north side of Turkey's Bodrum peninsula. "What's that village?" I ask our driver. He laughs as he takes a sharp right turn on to an unlit dirt track. "It's not a village," he says. "It's the resort."
