Turkey as a fashion hub

Turkish label Gizia at Istanbul fashion week
The Mod-inspired suits are fashionably cropped and double-breasted, the shirts printed, the knitwear outsized, the high-tech fabrics stretchy and lightweight. Small wonder that rock stars Ringo Starr and Liam Gallagher, and footballer Thierry Henry are fans.

Over the last forty years, a resolution has frequently come up in one or both houses of Congress declaring the killings of over a million Armenians in present-day Turkey during World War I a genocide. The resolution has always failed to pass. But each time it comes up Armenian Americans, Turks and our politicians have acted in the same way. It has become almost a ritual.

Turkish opposition party wants review of Ankara-Erevan protocols
Ankara, 18 March - Tensions with the United States and Sweden following the recent initiatives in these countries towards a public stance on the “genocide” issue, are spilling over into Turkish internal politics. The diplomatic row is giving the main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), an opportunity to make its point. From the beginning the CHP had voiced out strong opposition against the protocols signed by the government with Erevan in October 2009, arguing that no understanding between Turkey and Armenia must be made until Armenia amends its constitutional article related to “genocide” and withdraws from the Karabakh region it occupies inside Azerbaijan.
