On Mar. 14, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the High Court of Appeals of the country Abdurrahman Yalcinkaya brought charges against the ruling Justice and Development Party (JDP) demanding it be closed. According to the Deputy Chief Prosecutor, the purpose of the JDP is, firstly, to introduce a type of a state administration on the principles of moderate Islam and then build up a state based on the Shariath. The republic is currently under a great menace, A. Yalcinkaya particularly notes."

The people's faith in the rule of law has been jeopardized. Two recent developments have been dangerously tied.
On one side, Turkey's chief prosecutor has filed a case against the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Constitutional Court, alleging that it is fomenting anti-secular activities and asserting that it should be banned from politics. On the other side, a large-scale police investigation has been going on for nearly 10 months in an attempt to expose Ergenekon, an ultra-nationalist gang accused of inciting anti-democratic activities and seeking to engineer a coup against the country's Islamist-rooted government."

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney, concluding two days of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, said Monday that Hamas militants and their backers in Iran and Syria are playing the role of spoiler in Mideast peace talks.

Turkey: what is the country best known for? For the post-pub army, the rich and proud Muslim heritage of Turkey is encapsulated in five words: yes; boss; doner; chilli; sauce. On seeing Alan Parker’s 'Midnight Express' (1978), advice would be to avoid their correctional facilities unless sodomy is your kind of thing. And there’s Turkey’s national drink, Raki (a strong grape brandy flavoured with anise), which is ludicrous and quite silly in alcoholic super power: so much so, that I am told that I had a run-in with the police after a heavy Raki session one night, but to this day remember nothing. The Marquis de Sade would have bottled out of drinking it. One can only wonder what the Turkish Ministry of Tourism think of the Brits."
