Those following the Cyprus problem closely lament that developments indicate some sort of a déjà vu, a repeat of what was wanted to be staged seven years ago
What are the motives behind Turkey’s “Operation Euphrates Shield?” Could it be, as most Western commentators believe, a mask for an assault on Syrian Kurds?
Recently, during a discussion on an international news channel I asked the other participants about what would happen if Turkey attacked the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD)
Was it possible to replace the culture of confrontation with one that seeks reconciliation
Turkey was shocked twice in two days by heinous separatist terrorist attacks
There’s a Turkish saying that a person does not change much, and that in your 70th year you are almost the same as in your 7th year
Some people are skeptical. Some are hopeful for a resolution. The Turkish Cypriot leader has been constantly pumping optimism that a deal before the end of the year had become discernible. The Greek Cypriot leader has been expressing cautious optimism and stressing that much work needed to be done before he could say a deal was now within reach
How lucky is Turkey that finally it found the mastermind of all evil who has been hampering the prosperity of the country, derailing all-right foreign policy strategies devised by the genius Ahmet Hoca, as well as the Kurdish opening moves of most noble Beşir Hoca, and condemning to failure whatever was good for the country
Often a simple explanation might offer a far clearer answer to a myriad of questions than complex, aloof and mostly exaggerated conspiracy theories
