Letter to Arda
Sunday, 04.Sep.2011, 23:00
[The Turkish national football team's] Arda [Turan] recently said: "I don't want people to die. Every day we get news of deaths." The news of martyrs keeps coming, but under the current circumstances it is not easy to be like Arda; it is not easy to speak like Arda.

What’s next in Turkish-Israeli relations?
Sunday, 04.Sep.2011, 23:00
Turkey’s swift decision to downgrade its diplomatic relations with Israel and put all military agreements on hold following the release of a UN committee report on last year’s Gaza flotilla incident, which revealed that the UN considers the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza to be legal and also deems the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara aid ship to have resulted in the“unreasonable killing” of civilians, sparked a debate about the future of the Middle East. While Turkey’s moves to distance itself from Israel are generally thought to be justified, the future of Turkish-Israeli relations and Turkey’s next steps are matters of curiosity.

United Nations is a disappointment
Saturday, 03.Sep.2011, 23:00
The United Nations is a huge disappointment because it serves for nothing. Powerful countries do not care about its decisions. Israel has never cared about the UN’s decisions, and now Turkey is ignoring it, too, due to its latest and nonsensical decision concerning the Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara flotilla.

Saturday, 03.Sep.2011, 23:00

News in Pictures

As the USS Oak Hill docked in Virginia Beach, Citlalic Snell stood on terra firma, anxiously awaiting her girlfriend Marissa Gaeta’s arrival. The couple was set to share the traditional first kiss as the sailors disembarked, marking the first time a gay or lesbian couple has taken such an honor. Of course, this might sound like a well-timed publicity stunt, considering DADT’s repeal just three months ago. But alas, it was not: the couple won the opportunity in a raffle. The “first kiss” is often given out in a raffle or competition to a fleet of sailors arriving home. It’s a Navy tradition, that Gaeta could now compete for.
