Terrorist attacks ravages through the spineless world
Terrorist attacks ravages through the spineless world
By M.A. Saki
The dreadful terrorist attacks in Paris are clearly indicative of the fact that our world is confronting an extremely serious challenge.
The Paris attacks by Daesh came one day after the terrorist attacks in Beirut, 33 days after the Ankara blast which cost the lives of more than 100 innocent people, ruling out for the time being a possible connection between the barbaric group and the crash of the Russian passenger plane in Egypt’s Sinai on October 31.

Adieu, Turkish Democracy
By John Hannah
November 13, 2015 - 1:12 pm
It’s already become a cliché to say that the results of Turkey’s Nov. 1 parliamentary elections, officially confirmed on Thursday, were “stunning.” But that doesn’t make it any less true. Most observers believed that far and away the likeliest outcome would be a re-run of the June 7 elections, which saw the Justice and Development Party (AKP) lose the ruling majority that had empowered it to dominate Turkish politics since 2002. A few analysts allowed for the slim possibility that the AKP might yet eke out a razor-thin majority. But virtually no one — not the experts and certainly not the pollsters — foreshadowed what actually happened: a resounding AKP victory, a pickup from June of nearly 5 million votes and almost 60 seats. In just 5 months, the AKP had gone from badly weakened and on the ropes to triumphant and once again dominant. The sudden reversal of fortune was all the more shocking precisely because it was so unexpected.

AKP's Machiavellian Victory: How It Happened and What It Means for Turkey
Posted: 11/13/2015 3:51 pm EST Updated: 5 hours ago
In less than five months, Turkey's voters delivered two election results that have disproved most polls and stunned observers. Few people had anticipated the pro-Kurdish leftist Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) and the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) to win as big as they did in the June election and to deny the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) the mandate to govern alone for the first time in 13 years. That poll led to a protracted government crisis and a snap re-run election on November 1 in an environment of intense polarization, violence and conflict, especially in the Kurdish southeast. This time, even senior AKP figures were caught off guard by the speed and decisiveness with which their party recaptured its lost votes and mandate.
