The fact that the Turkish press is not a "single locale, single neighborhood" media is very important. Cartels and monopolies, just like state banks, work to cause a deterioration of the free market economy, pulling the train, so to speak, off the tracks.

If only Turkey had a deep-rooted democracy, stable institutions and publishing companies whose names were identical to the titles of the papers they printed; if only hostility toward democracy and militarism were accepted as "crimes against humanity." If only "free competition" would take the place of the struggles we see everywhere with people and institutions simply trying to eliminate one another. And if only, on top of all of this, members of the Turkish press would see their most important motivation as not the wielding of their narrowly framed "neighborhood pressure," but instead a more developed pressure that pushes the newspaper-reading public in the direction of a democratic world.

Demonstrators hold a picture of slain journalist Hrant Dink as they chant slogans during a protest near a courthouse in Istanbul, Turkey, Monday, April 28, 2008. A Turkish court resumed the trial of suspects in the killing of an ethnic Armenian journalist in a case widely seen as a test of the judiciary in investigating possible negligence by authorities. Hrant Dink, an ethnic Armenian journalist, was shot dead in daylight in front of his newspaper's office in January 2007.

Affected by the murder of Italian artist Pippa Bucca, the 21 Turkish women taking part in a 296-km bike ride from Beirut to Palestine this May, dedicate their ride to her and peace. The ride is organized by Follow the Women and over 500 women from 30 countries are expected to participate.

Carrying a message of peace and hope for the Middle East, 21 Turkish women aged 20 to 52 will ride their bikes from Beirut to Palestine in memory of Pippa Bacca and symbolically finish her journey for her on wheels.

Blown Away in Cappadocia

Cappadocia is a spectacular area in central Turkey, dotted with fantasy pyramids, pitted with troglodyte dwellings and heir to centuries of human wrangling over territory, trade and souls. In ancient Persian it was called Katpatuka, or ‘Land of the Beautiful Horses’ but you do not have to be a geologist or history buff to be blown away by the landscape. A week’s hiking followed by a hot air balloon trip will do it for anyone.
