Turkey’s economic growth of 11.1 percent in the third quarter of 2017 was a jaw-dropping moment. It is a growth rate that compares to the peak growth registered in the early 2000s by China, the world’s economic powerhouse.

Turkish state-run media outlet Anadolu tweeted an image on Wednesday showcasing a Russian-made missile defense system recently acquired by Turkey as capable of shooting down a wide variety of American aircraft.

Students in Turkey begin school this week with a revamped curriculum courtesy of the Erdogan government, which removes the theory of evolution from biology courses, as well as teaches the concept of jihad as the ‘love of homeland.’ The new guidance also reduces the emphasis on Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, modern Turkey’s secularist founder who instituted […]
