Hagia Sophia is A Symbol: But of What?

by Bahadır Gülle, published on 12 August 2020
Turning Hagia Sophia to a mosque symbolizes not the death of secularism but the total control of religion by the state. Religion has become the ideological apparatus of the state. Hegemony over religion removed all the barriers for the Turkish nationalist establishment for the implementation of authoritarian policies of the state.
How Biden Presidency Would Affect US-Turkish Ties

How Biden Presidency Would Affect US-Turkish Ties

by Haşim Tekineş, published on 28 July 2020
Many believe that Trump’s possible defeat in the November election would be a serious loss for Turkey.

They blame the West, specifically NATO and the US, for instigating the war in Ukraine and causing regional instability.
