Turkey and the ?embarrassy? cables

by YAVUZ BAYDAR

The American diplomatic cables leaked by or through WikiLeaks help clarify many questions regarding Turkey, and help us analyze the mindset of those diplomats, their personal capacities and their choices of sources and contacts. We also learn a great deal of the real thinking of the main actors in the regional neighborhood, and assess the level of delicacy in Ankara?s foreign policy

This Country (and Wikileaks) Has Turned Me to Indie-Synth

from İstanbul Altı by Asher

If the AKP was the guy in a teen drama, it?s safe to say he would not be the hero. I picture him more as the shifty, smooth operator. For some reason I?m not wholly sure about, George Wickham of Pride and Prejudice comes to mind.

WikiLeaks in Turkey — Cui bono?

from Today’s Zaman, your gateway to Turkish daily news :: Columnists by ANDREW FINKEL
My study window used to provide a view of the steps outside our house, which meant that I could see through the net curtain anyone trying to ring the bell.

by AYŞE KARABAT
We are so busy with WikiLeaks; all the newspapers, including Today?s Zaman, are publishing stories and analyses about it, as they must.

WikiLeaks and Turkey

by İHSAN YILMAZ
We have been talking about WikiLeaks and almost nothing else for the last week.

Only a tiny portion of the US diplomatic cables acquired by WikiLeaks has been published so far. The debate in Turkey seems to have focused on conspiracy theories rather than on the content of the leaked documents. The usual suspect in our conspiracy theories is a familiar one: Israel. The fact that there are many documents against Iran, rather than that there are none against Israel, is the strongest proof the conspiracy theorists present.
