@ScepticPhoenix @cepsizcorap Katılmıyorum. Aksanlı olabilir ama ablanın dedikleri gayet iyi anlaşılıyor. Rus ya da Hint aksanı da ağır olabiliyor mesela. Türkiye’de maalesef “Oxford aksanı ile konuşamazsam hiç konuşmayayım daha iyi” takıntısına girenlerin sayısı çok fazla.

@cepsizcorap Alakası yok. Konuşan yine konuşuyor. Ancak videodaki arkadaş da dalga geçilmeyecek gibi değilmiş. Önündeki metni okuyor resmen. Şöyle konuşsanız, İngilizce konuşan biri sizi anlamaz muhtemelen. İngilizce öğrendiğiniz çabanın %10’unu fonetiğe de verseniz problem çözülür.

A pro-Kurdish demonstration in central London, complete with flags of Abdullah Öcalan, the YPG, the federated Iraqi region of Kurdistan – but not, as was so often the case in previous years, the PKK.

@arash_tehran @AnshelPfeffer France is the third permanent member. Russia and China are already there.

Three-quarters of the world’s countries already recognize a yet non-existent Palestinian state. So now another one will. I fail to see how this will change anything for Palestinians and Israelis. I mean by all means, I also want there to be a Palestinian state, but who cares?

@TfL got to say, crowd management at Seven Sisters station before Beyoncé has been pretty poor this afternoon. Long lines of aimless people, staff yelling incomprehensibly through megaphones. You manage crowds perfectly fine whenever Spurs play at home, so why the chaos now?
English
Utterly shocked to learn of @ceren__kaynak’s sudden and untimely death aged just 38. I knew her on the London Turkish beat: she was a good journalist with a good heart, taken far, far too young. t24.com.tr/haber/gazeteci…

@zihinselorgazm Sure, they could do. But the article Gallia links to says THY kept the slots open during Covid by sending empty flights to Tel Aviv and back – but they're not doing it this time. Feels a bit like the end of a chapter.
English
@MichaelDaventry But is it the first time they stopped the flights? I think it will go back to normal, Turkish-Israeli relations have always been like a rollercoaster.
English
There was a time not so long ago when Turkish Airlines was the second biggest carrier at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion after El Al. Now, it isn't there at all.
Gallia Lindenstrauss@GLindenstrauss
Turkish airlines giving up its slots in Ben Gurion airport, meaning no plans for renewal of flights. Another important component of Turkish Israeli relations pre-october 7th, that is lost, deeply affecting people to people relations globes.co.il/news/article.a…

You don't really need subtitles to see how well @bozbeyogluu handles the moment a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Istanbul struck live on @cnnturk, but here they are in any case.

@TheTurkishLife Please take care, stay safe, don’t keep us worrying etc etc. You’re an Istanbullu, you know the drill

Scary earthquake in Istanbul just now. Early reports say magnitude 6 in the Marmara region, friends felt as far away as İzmir. Me and most of my neighbors are outside in the street waiting for possible aftershocks. There was a smaller earthquake near Silivri about 30 mins before.
English
Big earthquake off the southern shore of European Istanbul, the local disaster relief agency confirms.
6.2 magnitude is far from gentle.

A Turkish opposition MP claims agricultural seeds sold by Israel have caused a spike in deaths in Turkey from heart attacks.
A rather crass April Fool's joke, or an attempt to go viral? Mustafa Sarıgül has form in this area.

In Turkish North Cyprus, an education ministry official is turned away from a school barricaded by parents who don’t want to admit a pupil who wears a headscarf.
It appears they’re fighting Turkey’s battles of the 1990s, but in the social media age.

@barkinis Foto seçimi isabetsiz olmuş belki ama Londra'da masabaşı iş yapan editörün tercihidir, bozkurtun ne olduğu bilmiyordur. Yazar @p_zalewski'in analizi ise çok iyi.
Bu arada fotoğrafı @kemal_aslan çekti. AFP'ye çalışıyor. Anlaşma gereği Getty'e satıyorlar.

BREAKING: Thousands of anti-Erdogan protesters taking to the streets in Eskişehir, south-east of Istanbul 🇹🇷

“The terrorism charge is particularly serious because it could allow him to be removed from office. It means that by the end of the day Ekrem İmamoğlu may no longer be mayor of Istanbul.”
Me on @bbcworldservice a little earlier.
English
İmamoğlu also faces terrorism charges: the informal electoral alliance between CHP and pro-Kurdish HDP ahead of the 2024 local election is alleged to be a vehicle to fund the PKK.
Those charges could give Turkey’s interior minister the authority to remove İmamoğlu from office.
English
Dozens of officers were sent to arrest İmamoğlu at his home, which is where he filmed his video.
It’s a coordinated operation: police are stationed outside councils held by the opposition CHP.
The authorities have also closed several metro lines during the morning rush hour.

Bir kaç operasyon birarada başlatılmış gibi görünüyor. Medya A.ş ve Kent Uzlaşısı operasyonu Ekrem İmamoğlu'nu gözaltına almak için 20 araçlık bir polis ekibi evine gitti. İmamoğlu gözaltına alınırken "kendimi milletime emanet ediyorum" dedi İmamoğlu'nun yakın çevresi Murat Ongun ve Necati Özkan da gözaltında. Yurtdışı çıkış yasağı ile gündeme gelen İsmail Saymaz da gözaltına alınanlar arasında Sosyal medya daraltılmış, İstanbul'da Taksim metrosu kapatılmış durumda

The mayor of Istanbul and President Erdogan’s most prominent rival has been taken into custody.
