[23:41] Turks protest, opposition defiant over mayor's detention
Thousands of Turks ramped up protests despite a ban on street gatherings over what they called the undemocratic detention of Istanbul's mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, as the opposition sought to pin the blame on President Tayyip Erdogan.

I keep hearing from #Mongols #Turks and now #Uyghurs living in #Japan that #Japanese is relatively easy for them to learn, as the grammar and structure is similar to their languages. That can't be a coincidence, seems like there is a likely common linguistic heritage, no?
Yet, linguists claim they are unrelated languages. Why the contradiction? Is it #Japanese nationalism? Or #western academic elitism?
It took a plane to spot it.

A #hurricane so small that it could not be observed by #satellite formed this weekend, surprising #meteorologists and even forecasters at the #NationalHurricaneCenter.
#HurricaneOscar developed on Saturday near #Turks and #Caicos, and to the northeast of #Cuba, in the extreme southwestern #AtlanticOcean. As of Saturday evening, hurricane-force winds extended just 5 miles (8 km) from the center of the storm.
The party navigates their way through the Mythril Mines, the linearity of which begins to expose some of Rebirth's shortcomings (in my opinion) 
At least the mythril is pretty, and my boys got some time to shine!

#Gaza was occupied by the #Turks for centuries from the 1500s, by the #British during World War I, by #Egypt from 1948 to 1967, and by #Israel from 1967 to 2005.
The only time in modern history when Gaza has been free to govern itself was after Israel withdrew. They were, in fact, the only conquering power in the history of Gaza to have actually walked away from the region and allowed its people to decide their own political fate.
It's a pity so many Gazans chose to vote #Hamas into power in 2006. They had no idea of what they were bringing onto themselves. Hamas drove out the Palestinian Authority and created a brutal dictatorship in Gaza, launching multiple attacks against Israel.

Mijn jongste (toen 14) wilde #bijverdienen en kreeg een baan in een bekend #turks #restaurant in het centrum van #arnhem. Uit vrees voor de weg terug naar ons huis voor haar, haalde ik haar altijd op daar 's avonds.
Ik werd altijd ontvangen als een 'heer' door de #turkse #eigenaar en kreeg gratis #koffie terwijl ik wachtte op het einde van haar dienst. Die man snapte mij en mijn #dochter voelde zich altijd veilig bij hem.

Six and a half million Turks live as refugees in Europe alone
But in #Turkey, both presidential candidates #Erdogan and #kilicdaroglu have made the deportation of refugees their campaign
if #Europe sends the #Turks back to their country, what will they say to the Europeans?

‘Have we no dignity left?’: the Turkish town forced to dig itself out from the rubble
Samandağ is a town that has been left to save itself, with those left alive working to save their friends and neighbours from under the rubble. They fear the quake has brought the end of their community.
Residents said that the central government in Ankara had long neglected #Hatay province, a fertile and verdant strip of land filled with olive groves and citrus trees bordered by Syria’s Idlib province on one side and the Mediterranean sea on the other.
The earthquake’s aftermath, they said, simply showed how little the government cared to preserve what’s left of the province and its diverse people – sects who have lived side by side for millennia among ancient #synagogues, #churches, #mosques and #antiquities. The province and its rich history have survived many earthquakes, including the Antioch earthquake which occurred in 115 AD and was estimated to be of similar force to the deadly quake that struck this week.
But those who were left in Samandağ said they feared the destruction wrought by the latest earthquake was a death knell for their community, scattering #Armenians, #Alawites, #Christians and Arabic-speaking #Turks across the country to Turkey’s metropolitan cities as they were unable to stay in what was left of the town.
When the first earthquake struck in the early hours of the morning, those who found themselves alive immediately began to try and save their neighbours trapped under the rubble. The owner of a local hardware shop, Lami Doğru, pulled tools out from under his destroyed store, and brandishing a vice grip and a hammer set to work.
“I started over there,” he said, pointing to his nephew’s house past a heap of broken concrete with pipes and a lamppost strewn next to air-conditioning units, chairs and twisted wrought-iron grating piled on top of the broken pieces. “I managed to save three people, although one of them was my cousin, who we lost.”
Doğru attempted to be hopeful about Samandağ’s future and that the government would help rebuild it. “It will take a decade to get things back to how they were, if the state helps,” he said. “If not, maybe it could take up to 15 years. It was really a beautiful town.”
In the days since the earthquakes, many of those who survived have left Samandağ, abandoning the rubble of their homes for bigger cities.
Barış and his parents are debating whether they will remain. “When we were waiting in line at the morgue, the first question they asked us was: ‘What are you going to do after you bury your dead? Are you leaving?’” he said.
Days after recovering his grandparent’s bodies, transporting them to the morgue themselves in makeshift orange body bags as there was no one to help them, they returned to begin preparations to bury them. “When we searched the morgue for my grandparents, I found Gönül Sakallı and her daughter laying next to each other in their body bags,” said Barış.
“We were opening the bags to identify people and we suddenly found them. The thought suddenly struck me that a huge part of my childhood in our neighbourhood has been erased.”
In #Turkey, once the devastation & fatalities have been recorded, then the role of the #Erdogan Govt.'s willingness to issue 'construction amnesties' for non-compliant building is likely to become a major issue in #Turkish politics - it is likely for many #Turks, corrupt payments to wave through such amnesties to developers & builders will look like #bloodmoney... whether Erdogan will be able to keep a lid on this story may well prove to be a major turn for Turkish politics (iff he can't)!
