In next months depending on how Imamoglu sponsored PKK behaves in Istanbul we may see Kayums in Istanbul. It's a double-edged sword for Imamoglu, he's hostage to HDP/DEM/PKK. If PKK burns down Istanbul with their new-found breathing-space in Istanbul paralel to upcoming Iraq/Syria operations of...

Today I listened to a Twitter space. There some said the Karadeniz faction within AKP wonders about post -Erdogan AKP and they've no problem with Imamoglu as long as a Karadenizli is running the show. That limited the party efforts to make Kurum win at all costs and an AKP Istanbul candidate...

In Germany there are jobs where you earn ridiculous amount of salary. But, there's not much of these jobs and competition is vast. In my big company there are people earning 10.000 to 30.000 € every month, but they're the minority distorting per person GDP statistics. Most of people living in...

Sustainability is key, but there's no sustainability with strong TL. In 2011 the TL / $ exchange rate was around 1.80, but Turkey ran over 60 Billion $ trade-deficit. By 2019 with successive weakening of TL Turkey had 21 billion $ trade surplus. Surplus went into deficit again in 2020 but only...

The day any energy from locations which are considered Mavi Vatan or KKTC's EEZ reaches either Israel, Egypt or Greece by a pipeline it will be basically over for any kind of "friendly" relationships with either Israel or Egypt. You imply that Israel is irked by Erdogan as he has halted...
