17 mai 2011, par Laure Marchand

Ne pas rester cloîtrée dans son appartement malgré un arrêt de travail d’un mois est sa façon de conjurer le sort. Doucement, pour ne pas réveiller ses blessures, Filiz Akdogan s’affaire de nouveau dans le salon de coiffure, à Maltepe, quartier animé de la rive asiatique d’Istanbul. Dimanche 24 avril, son ancien mari a tenté de l’y assassiner alors qu’elle était en train de couper les cheveux d’une cliente. Il l’a poignardée avec un tournevis, dans le ventre, les poumons et à l’aisselle. La jeune femme de (...)

Pop culture in Turkey pushes the nation’s buttons once again
13 May 2011, by Emrah Güler

Pop culture continues to bring out the nation’s sensitivities, or, more likely, insecurities. Controversy is sparked by a TV series showing Sultan Süleyman courting women in the harem rather than conquering the known world, and by a comic book showing a young Atatürk beaten by his superior in the military. Both are accused of tarnishing Turkey’s history. But when it comes to the ultra-nationalistic, ultra-violent movie ’Valley of the Wolves: Palestine,’ there’s no reaction
The new TV series (...)
Looking back at when Turkey had a European vision
12 May 2011, by Kayhan Karaca

With enthusiasm fading in Turkey for its bid to join the European Union, it would not be a surprise to see “Europe Day,” marked Monday across the continent, go unnoticed by many Turkish politicians. But though Turkey may be losing interest in the future of the EU, the country was an integral part of the bloc’s past.
Half a century ago, when the initial seeds of European integration were being sown, Turkish politicians brought their contributions to the Schuman Declaration, a proposal by (...)

Removal of Ergenekon’s Öz reminiscent of courageous Doğan Öz’s forgotten case
6 May 2011, by Şule Kule Yilmaz

The recent appointment of Zekeriya Öz as İstanbul deputy chief public prosecutor — a promotion that also meant he was taken off the Ergenekon case, which he has been overseeing since the beginning — has brought to mind past cases in Turkey in which courageous attempts of other prosecutors were blocked through controversial moves, even with assassinations.
Former Public Prosecutor Sacit Kayasu and former Van Public Prosecutor Ferhat Sarıkaya are also among recent examples of such cases. Sarıkaya (...)

Ce texte, qui a divisé tous les groupes politiques, a été rejeté à l’issue d’un débat passionné entre partisans et opposants, en présence dans les tribunes du public du chanteur Charles Aznavour, (...)
