Turks Fleeing To Greece Find Mostly Warm Welcome, Despite History
Now, at least 1,000 Turkish citizens are seeking refuge in Greece, according to the refugee support nonprofit SolidarityNOW.

The next phase in Turkey’s political violence – third and coming coup could be the most violent
It has now been almost three months since the failed coup in Turkey. The events of July 15 were predictable, but they nevertheless mark a watershed in modern Turkish history.

Turkey’s anti-Gulen campaign: Strengthening militants and jihadists
The dilemma for the Pakistani government is stark. Turkish prime minister Binali Yildirim has warned that Turkey would be at war with any country that cooperates or aids the Gulen movement.
