Macron is de­mand­ing Mus­lims give up their re­li­gious val­ues at a time when sec­u­lar France doubts its own val­ues.

We can ‘fight the mon­ster with­out be­com­ing one’ and achieve a fin­er bal­ance of free­dom and se­cu­ri­ty for all.

Nei­ther Hun­gary nor Myan­mar have a ‘Mus­lim pop­u­la­tion’ prob­lem.

The res­o­lu­tion showed that politi­cis­ing his­to­ry for the sake of ac­com­plish­ing short-term goals does more harm than good.

Facts, de­tails, ev­i­dence and co­her­ence do mat­ter.

Among oth­er ob­jec­tives, the aim of the sum­mit is to pave the way for a road map on ad­dress­ing ur­gent glob­al is­sues.

Turks, Kurds and Ar­me­ni­ans killed each oth­er in the thou­sands, be­tray­ing their his­to­ry of co­ex­is­tence in Ana­to­lia.

Sweep­ing re­forms an­nounced by Prime Min­is­ter Er­do­gan are hoped to be an im­pe­tus for draft­ing a new con­sti­tu­tion.

No oth­er is­sue has caused Turkey as much suf­fer­ing and trau­ma as the Kur­dish ques­tion, writes Kalin.

Prime Min­is­ter Er­do­gan’s vic­to­ry brings as­pi­ra­tions of uni­ty and in­creas­ing re­gion­al pow­er for Turkey.
