Absolutely Correct! Just wondering if any airline fleet from a country governed by religious law has a woman pilot flying any plane let alone a huge passenger airliner? This surely is a source of pride for Turkey at a time when secularism is constantly taking a beating!

In case u missed the discussion whether Vichy constitutes a reference to an America that, in the words of the cartoonist Ted Rall, said “Unlike you fascists, we promise a smooth transition of power … to you fascists” see 👇

And vice versa, it is not BRICS economies that add value to the Turkish economy! Unlike the EU Turkey runs HUGE trade deficits with leading BRICS Russia and China…
Good thread on why Turkey’s important to Europe (and to us).

With @onurerpul we attribute incessant ups & downs of 🇹🇷-🇺🇸relations never reaching a breaking point to the steadying “invisible hand” of foreign policy bureaucratic elites on both sides. Yet the big question is how long will this last as 2 sides become domestically transformed
The new issue of All Azimuth has been published, featuring seven articles that explore the evolving dynamics of the Türkiye–U.S. relationship from various perspectives, including contemporary policy issues as well as societal and historical aspects.

As 🇹🇷 longs for the repatriation of Syrian refugees👇 is a story from a past era when a Huguenot from Germany sought refuge from Ottomans to become a general & diplomat as well as maternal great grandfather of Nazim Hikmet, the legendary poet, might history possibly repeat itself

Kartalkaya'daki acının benzeri 1978 Ankara YIBA Çarşı yangınında da yaşanmıştı. Yarım asırda böyle felaketleri önlemede bir arpa yol gidilememiş olması çok acı & düşündürücü. Bir o kadar düşündürücü olan ise o zamanlar hatırladığım kadarıyla YIBA haberine yayın yasağı konmamıştı!

A must to listen👇 full of rich anecdotes about radicalism embedded in the new Sham regime & insights into diplomatic activity behind why 1st visit was to Riyad¬ Ankara. Best Q: can a team that ran a municipality run a diverse but devastated country?

Let there be no mistake: this is HUGE: Kurdish DEM Party members meet with leader of deeply nationalist MHP at 🇹🇷 Parliament who called in October for PKK to disarm & hinted to a possible amnesty for Ocalan. This has unleashed waves of HOPE for the future of 🇹🇷 democracy🤞

Great reflections on a unique politician that marked humanity so positively, if only there were more Jimmy Carters around the world🤞
Jimmy Carter has died at age 100. The former President’s priorities in the White House—the environment, energy conservation, peace, health care—were remarkably prescient, @lawrence_wright reflects.

2 concluding observations from the 2 journalists at the very end: though people refrain from openly saying it what they hope for is a secular regime & whether Syria will be able to reconstitute & rebuild itself in peace or redrift into conflict will become evident in a short time
Fascinating reporting from the field in Syria from 2 @medyascope journalists emphasizing people’s expressions of 1- hope about the future but also anxiety 2- joy to speak out their minds without fear 3- women’s determination to defend their rights
