Political Prowess in France
29 June 2020

Germany is struggling with the surge of Turkish intelligence taking Turkish expats under invisible arrests. As Turkish military operations in Iraq, Syria and Libya make the headlines, a ZDF documentary gains momentum.

It is a momentous time for the Turkish-French community. Two brilliant Turkish-French politicians make us proud in local polls in Paris: Metin Yavuz is elected mayor of Valenton and EU Parlimentarian Agnes Evren is elected mayor of the 15th district. We celebrate by listening to Turkish-French singer Ayla Millepied Sen's recent single 'Istanbul'.

Solvoyo is a good example of Turkish businesses that benefited from their cloud office capacities during the recent Corona lockdowns. With offices in Boston and Istanbul they are an inspiration.

Vlogger Koray Cengiz of RWTH Aachen University reports on Germany's performance during the pandemic. His insightful observations are refreshing.

With most sporting events postponed or cancelled, Turkish football has taken a hit hard but remains hopeful as leagues are resumed behind closed doors.

Hoping the hot days of summer will grant more Corona-free health, we wish you a great week. Enjoy!

A Renewed Sense of Safety
22 June 2020

As summer rolls, our community is celebrating Ambassador Volkan Bozkır's election to the presidency of the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Turkey continues last week's air offensive against the PKK with "Operation Claw Tiger", utilizing ground units for combat operations against terror cells in Northern Iraq lifting our hopes up for a safer future.

A new Turkish romance flick 'One Way for Tomorrow" on Netflix and Nuri Sahin's transfer to Fenerbahce make us smile.

Turkish Airlines resumes all flights, taking the lead among all air carriers in Europe. YTB offers a wonderful online guide "Memleket Yolu" to help us plan this summer's trip back home.

Eurocenter releases their 2019 Islamophobia report, as we unveil a mural in Frankfurt in honor of the Hanau victims, making a pledge to fight racism for a safer future.

Wishing you a great week as always,
