Albert Einstein

Turkish president ramps up his criticism of international institutions Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has continued his criticism of various international institutions, claiming that “even the Nobel Prize is not awarded objectively.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has heralded a new curriculum for schools, after complaining that Turkish students know foreign figures like Albert Einstein but not Muslim and Turkish ones.

I sensed this was coming when I discovered a Turkish book, “Goethe and Islam,” which proudly announced that “in addition to the controversy regarding whether Johann Wolfgang Goethe was Muslim, there is now proof that the German writer … was not only Muslim, but also Turkish.”

BELGRADE - Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic has said that Serbia should ensure conditions that would improve the education system as the foremost national interest and constant concern of the state and society.
