NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the two main challenges faced by the western military alliance are "Islamic State and Russia."

The usual line "Turkey is bizarre" is no longer a sufficient term of portrayal. Real news reports have reached a level of amusing absurdity that they may in the future threaten humor readership in the country. 

An order by Thailand's junta giving sweeping police powers to soldiers is part of the "steady erosion of human rights protections," campaigners said April 5, calling for the law to be rescinded.

Media outlets all over the Balkans are scanning the leaked data from Mossack Fonseca to find out which of their own nationals are named in the 11.5 million files.

The documents from the fourth largest law firm in the world, known as the Panama Papers, show the many ways in which rich people around the world have exploited secretive offshore tax regimes and tax havens.

It is not possible to consider President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an's visit to Washington as a success by any count. The "strategic partnership" between the two countries continues but it is clear that relations are currently very tense. 

This is not the first time we have see U.S. press have a huge discrepancy with reality. Still, they could not have got it more wrong.

Days after Turkish and American presidents, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and Barack Obama respectively, held talks in Washington D.C.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu hours before Greece began returning migrants from Lesbos to Turkey under a landmark European Union deal to stop the uncontrollable influx of refugees into Europe. 

The disagreement between IMF and EU was revealed by Wikileaks bringing to light a phone conversation between top two IMF officials, Poul Thomsen and Delia Velculescu, who are reportedly saying that they might push Greece to the brink of a credit event so as Greece would accept the strict measures it proposed.

Would any rational person say there is freedom of the press in Turkey?

Is there any rational person who thinks the judicial system in Turkey is fair and unbiased?

Is there a single person who says the Syrian policy is correct and in Turkey's interests?

Unfortunately, there is nobody. 

That means we have a situation that can truly be criticized.
