Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, hired for a speaking engagement in Sydney, Australia, on Tuesday, portrayed China's foreign policy moves as that of a schoolyard tormentor.

Many of the world's most powerful people are gathering for the annual meeting of the mysterious Bilderberg Group this week. Russia, the Trump administration and 'The war on information' are among key topics up for discussion.

US Senator John McCain said that numerous lawmakers in the United States strive to ensure in the ongoing debate about the country's role in the world that Washington remains an active leader and stands by its allies.

An unidentified person who poured gasoline on a statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, and later hit it with an axe, survived a lynch attempt by locals who witnessed the incident, Doğan News Agency reported on May 22. 

Recent discussions over Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the War of Independence and the early days of the republic do not open new horizons, nor reveal new knowledge and perspectives. On the contrary, these distorted - sometimes fabricated - rumors are produced to provide ammunition to the current political and ideological fight.

Looking at the rhetoric around Turkey's youth, one could safely deduce that Turkey's youth were the country's heart! After all, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Turkey's founder, entrusted the country to their hands, although it means that they are obliged to learn his speech to the youth by heart - and trust me, you do not exactly beam with gratitude as you haggle over the difficult text!

Today is May 19, the anniversary of the date when a handful of military and civilian leaders led by general Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) set out for the Black Sea port of Samsun, from Istanbul, in 1919. They were due to launch a war of resistance against armies occupying the last remaining parts of the empire under the fading Ottoman dynasty.

An Istanbul chief public prosecutor on May 18 launched an investigation into the "Derin Tarih" (Deep History) magazine for insulting Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, demanding all its copies to be removed from shelves, Doğan News Agency has reported.
