Election 2011: a victory for the West Bank, you say? | istanbul notes

https://istanbulnotes.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/election-2011-a-victory-for-the-west-bank-you-say

Politics : culture : economics. Election 2011: a victory for the West Bank, you say? In 2011 general election. On June 16, 2011. Turkey’s prime minister Tayyip Erdoğan, a man whose self-aggrandising style of leadership has already been coming in for increasing criticism, outdid himself in his victory speech following Sunday’s parliamentary elections. Sometimes public figures push themselves to a place beyond parody. This was. One of those occasions. If one wanted to go out of one’s way to interpret...

Politics : culture : economics. Another of the LSE’s public lectures. This time it’s Steven Kinzer with a talk entitled ‘Facing Disaster In the Middle East: Do We Have Only Bad Options? 8217; He outlines, not very convincingly, his argument that the USA needs to find new partners in the Middle East and that it should choose Turkey and Iran.

Traveler's Tales and Translations of Turkish Lit, and Stories of the Deep South and Kurdistan. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Liars and Cheaters Galore. Why yes, son, I'd think you'd make a fine addition to Robert College. Trust me- why would I lie? Cheating, fraud, charlatanism, and my favorite would of all skullduggery- a buggering of the truth—or in Turkish, dolandırıcılık, hile, copya çekme, dolavere. Why on earth would you accept anyone from any of these schools and risk your reputation? 8217; The answer ...

ISTANBUL AND BEYOND: February 2015

Traveler's Tales and Translations of Turkish Lit, and Stories of the Deep South and Kurdistan. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. There are two bases opposite one another, one for each team. You need a level and large enough field to play. Sometimes they would play in the meadow while tending the flocks, Dede says. Both men and women could play. The "field" as drawn by Dede. He isn’t that specific on the shape of the bat—it can be flat or round, he says. But it needs to be about arm length and t...Is Turkish ,.

ISTANBUL AND BEYOND: October 2013

Traveler's Tales and Translations of Turkish Lit, and Stories of the Deep South and Kurdistan. Saturday, October 5, 2013. The KCK Trial Resumes. One of the predecessors of the KCK trials. No more long breaks- the KCK trial will now drive forward with occasional weeklong breaks until the government gets what it wants, I presume. People who oppose the government’s line are trying to divide the country and are terrorists. Any concession you make to anything they do or say is treason. It’s the ment...The Wor...

Totally Beyhude: Twitter, Shmitter and the Overwhelming Irony of it All

http://totallybeyhude.blogspot.com/2014/03/twitter-shmitter-and-overwhelming-irony.html

Twitter, Shmitter and the Overwhelming Irony of it All. You were warned Melih, enough already. Lots of love, Tayyip". My own incredibly lo-fi attempts at pictorial satire to one side, it is obvious that the biggest victim to Turkey's Twitter ban will be the Mayor of Ankara, Melih Gökçen, who's addiction to Tweeting has provided comedy gold for at least the past year or so. Here's my favourites:. That recalls some the most self-obsessed 16 year old girls on facebook, which really makes me smile. 3 And fin...

Manzaralı bir ev | Fransız kaldım

https://fransizkaldim.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/manzarali-bir-ev

BİR FRANSIZ'IN TÜRKİYE İZLENİMLERİ. Sıkıldım artık ben, İstanbul’daki yabancı arkadaşlarımın manzara yarışmasından. Dün yine biri sordu :. 8211; Evin nerede? 8211; Manzaralı mı? 8211; Manzara yoksa gelmeyecek misin? Böyle demedim elbet. Yok dedim. Yalan mı? Yalan Beşinci kattaki evimden su kadar net görülüyor, karşıdaki apartmanların hayat akışı. Bu değil mi manzara, bakışı, dikkati çeken herşey? Hiç soğumaz mı bu simitler? Diyebileceğim. Yalan mı?
