"Contemporary Boat Building
Well informed people know, but it is not common knowledge, that Turkey today is one of the most ideal countries for commissioning a yacht, boat or ship. Also, not many of those who are in the market to have a boat built realize what an immense store of maritime heritage is bred in the bones of Turkish boat builders."

Moscow Ascending: How Turkey's New Axis With Russia Affects US Interests
"Moscow Ascending: How Turkey's New Axis With Russia Affects US Interests
We have, in the past year, entered an entirely new dynamic in Eastern Mediterranean and South-East European strategic affairs. We are in a period and a region in which Russia, not the West, is taking the key initiatives and has much of the advantage. This is particularly significant given that Russian policymaking receives scant attention in US and other Western media, and remains as opaque to Western analysts as it was during the Cold War era when Russia was veiled by an Iron Curtain. At least during the Cold War, the West threw its best intellects into attempting to understand Russia and the Soviet Union."

"Turkey Takes Sides
Criticism of Israel is the hallmark of Prime Minister Erdogan's new Middle East policy -- but not all Turks are on board.
BY TULIN DALOGLU | APRIL 16, 2010
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Washington this week to attend the Nuclear Security Summit showed once again that he and the United States are simply not seeing eye to eye. The White House statement following Erdogan's Tuesday meeting with President Barack Obama stated that the two leaders "affirmed the strategic partnership between their countries" and "discussed their joint interest in achieving the nonproliferation goals of the Summit," including halting Iran's development of a nuclear weapon. But this was purely rhetoric: In fact, the two countries are agreeing on little these days. "
