From ‘Bayrak’ to ‘Balyoz’: Society finally calls spade a spade
Etyen Mahçupyan
In an atmosphere in which assertions that the ruling party has become more authoritarian are being trumpeted by some, the start of the 1980 coup trial has been purposely scheduled for the same time as the final stages of the Balyoz [Sledgehammer] case. This is not just a symbolic connection. After all, the Balyoz plan, which was created in seminars by the 1st Army under the direction of Çetin Doğan, came together through the refreshing of the Bayrak [Flag] plan [the plan behind the 1980 coup].

How Fethullah Gulen fought the vicious circle between poverty and illiteracy
Ertuğrul Yasir
Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter due to the inability to afford them. This condition is also referred as the absolute poverty. According to the World Bank, 1.4 billion people in the developing world live on absolute poverty, which is usually assumed as living on less than $1.25 a day. Relative poverty, on the other hand, is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or country, or compared to worldwide averages.

The Gülen community and the AKP
Taha Akyol
The Journalists and Writers Foundation (GYV), which is in line with Fethullah Gülen, has issued an announcement on relations with the ruling party. It is certain that Gülen made the last retouches on the text himself.
Gülen defines the movement shortly as “Hizmet” (translated roughly as “service” in English).
I asked those who drafted the declaration, and they told me that they were careful on two points while writing the announcement:

Fethullah Gülen's legal journey
Bülent Korucu
James C. Harrington has a brilliant career as a lawyer who has practiced for 40 years and as a professor who has taught law in universities for 25 years.
But what is even more important is his sensitivity to and struggle for human rights. He is one of the rare people who could author a book titled “Wrestling with Free Speech, Religious Freedom, and Democracy in Turkey: The Political Trials and Times of Fethullah Gülen.” The book becomes even more crucial and valuable considering that Harrington wrote it without being influenced by the social and political environment in Turkey. He places emphasis upon objectivity and legality.
