Four teenagers in northern Turkey are accused of raping one of their ex-girlfriends for breaking his heart.

According to security sources speaking to daily Hürriyet, a second-year high school student identified as F.Ü. took his girlfriend to an empty lot in the Sinop province on May 25 after she said she wanted to break up. 

The traces of an ancient necropolis have been unearthed during the construction of a culture center in the northern province of Sinop's Gelincik neighborhood. The construction has been halted and excavation work has begun with the permission of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums. 

Parliament?s General Assembly accepted in the early hours of April 1 an international agreement between Turkey and Japan for the construction of Turkey?s second planned nuclear plant.
 
With the approval, the legal framework for the construction of the plant has been laid. 

A found bath under the Byzantine-era church Balatlar in the northern province of Sinop is gradually being revealed with excavations. The head of excavations, Mimar Sinan University Professor Gülgün Köroğlu said they had reached the bath and were continuing to unearth it.
