🧵The food of #Antakya, #Hatay is a league all its own. Spicy, flavorful, made w/ passion. The 2023 earthquakes, which killed nearly 60K people, forced many survivors out of the region & threatened the rich food heritage. Meet those working to preserve it: bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

Closing the year with two James Beard nominations is kind of my proudest moment for 2024. Here are the stories w. @VictoriaCraig from Antakya on re-building the city's food culture and the other one w. @deingrid for @CBackstreets bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c… culinarybackstreets.com/cities-categor…

Bu yılın en güzel kısımlarından biri şu: Geçen yıl BBC'ye yaptığım künefe işiyle aday gösterildiğim James Beard'a bu yıl sağlı sollu girişmiş oldum Antakya'dan iki haberle. BBC'ye yaptığımız Food Chain bölümü ve de Culinary Backstreet'e yazdığımız haberlerden biri ödül adayı.

“I'm Turkish but I am Jewish as well. So there is always a fear that it will not be accepted well & this makes you walk on the edges of your feet.” For @bbcworldservice, I explore how anti-Israel rhetoric has forced Turkish Jews to hide their identities bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

With Trump's victory all but secured, jubilant reactions from Moscow are starting to roll in. Former stand-in president Dmitry Medvedev implies Russia will retain its maximalist military gains in Ukraine – but hopes Trump winds down aid to Kyiv. t.me/medvedev_teleg…

#Turkey’s president congratulates Donald #Trump who he says won the US election “after a great struggle.” Adds he hopes Turkey/US relations will strengthen, regional/global conflicts end (names Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine) and “efforts will be made for a more just world.”
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan@RTErdogan

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde yapılan başkanlık seçimini büyük bir mücadelenin ardından kazanarak yeniden ABD Başkanı seçilen dostum Donald Trump’ı tebrik ediyorum. Amerikan halkının seçimiyle başlayacak olan bu yeni dönemde, Türkiye-ABD ilişkilerinin güçlenmesini, Filistin meselesi ve Rusya-Ukrayna savaşı başta olmak üzere bölgesel ve küresel çapta yaşanan krizlerin, savaşların son bulmasını temenni ediyor; daha adil bir dünya için daha fazla çaba sarf edileceğine inanıyorum. Seçimlerin dost ve müttefik ABD halkı ve tüm insanlık için hayırlara vesile olmasını diliyorum.

I've been a US expat for 7 years &, even in presidential #election cycles, I've blissfully avoided political ads. Until this year. The deluge of targeted ads that flooded my social feeds was so fierce, I thought: There must be a story here. I was right 👇 marketplace.org/2024/10/21/ele…

Turkey’s president of religious affairs has condemned Israel as a ‘Zionist murder network’ and a ‘cursed nation’ in a strongly worded statement which comes as the Jewish state marks the first anniversary of Hamas’s brutal attack. Here’s a small portion of the statement ->

From blaming the “interest rate lobby” in 2018 for a painful currency crisis and accusing JPM of “misleading & manipulative” advice …now to courting Wall Street banks to help with #Turkey’s massive economic turnaround.

Scoop - Turkish President Erdoğan will meet 20 top US executives, including from JPMorgan and Goldman, when he is in NYC for the UN General Assembly later this month. He’s also bringing an entourage of ministers who will try to court corporate America. on.ft.com/4enwDRW

@GazBenham I asked Ricardo for comment, but he declined -- too busy napping in the sun! Travel boycotts are an interesting response to the legislation. Some orgs are also trying to get dogs adopted by people in other countries. Not sure there is an ideal solution with so many street dogs.

@VictoriaCraig Disappointed that we didn’t hear Ricardo’s views! On a more serious note, it’s difficult to explain how scary a pack of these (v large) street dogs is, but mass culling isn’t the answer. UK media called for a travel boycott to Türkiye yesterday, that’s not the answer either.

Last week, #Turkey passed a new law to get millions of stray dogs off its streets. But it’s ignited fury 1) for a euthanasia provision 2) among those who see street dogs as a neighborhood fixture. Sharing my own run in with a pack of dogs @ the 16:41 mark bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

I visited Manisa, #Turkey where China’s BYD is planning to open a $1B EV plant, which’ll expand its foothold in Europe. Locals are optimistic but wary after VW pulled out of a similar deal in 2020. For Ankara, it’s all about diversifying FDI from the West podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/bus…

Demonstrators in front of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar — a tourist hotspot — this evening singing, holding signs in Turkish and English that read “Israel, the USA, and NATO will be defeated.” Worth noting #Turkey is a NATO member.
