Pakistan's role in Afghanistan

23 AUGUST 2021

With the Taliban declaring war in Afghanistan after 20 years of US stronghold, the Afghan President fled the country to prevent bloodshed.

Shifts in the Middle East

16 AUGUST 2021

Starting with the termination of the Qatar blockade at the beginning of the year, the Middle East has been a hotbed of change with old rivals reconciling and allies going through rough patches. While the Saudis welcome the new leader of Iran-favoring Oman, the UAE-Saudi tensions are a few of many shifts that redefine politics in the region in many ways.

Rights of Turkish-Greeks

9 AUGUST 2021

The strained relations between Turkey and Greece suffer more after the Greek government closes down a dozen primary schools belonging to the 150,000-strong Turkish minority in the Western Thrace region, threatening their rights secured by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne.

1923 Population Exchange

9 AUGUST 2021

Establishing new borders between Greece and Turkey after decades of war, the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne ruled for a population exchange based on religious identity, involving the Greek Orthodox citizens of Turkey and the Muslim citizens of Greece, forcing more than one and a half million people in Greece and Turkey to leave their ancestral home.

The Turkish-Greek Identity

9 AUGUST 2021

Greece’s Western Thrace region is home to some 150,000 Muslim Turkish-Greeks, but Athens denies them their rights for simply including the word 'Turkish' in their name. Greece’s Court of Cassation rejects the registration application of Xanthi Turkish Union's nearly four-decade struggle, despite Turkey's acceptance of the 'Greek' name for Turkey's Greek minority.

Turkey's Greek Minority

9 AUGUST 2021

The Greeks in Turkey (Turkish: Rumlar) constitute a small population of Greek and Greek-speaking Eastern Orthodox Christians who mostly live in Istanbul, as well as on the two islands of the western entrance to the Dardanelles: Imbros and Tenedos (Turkish: Gökçeada and Bozcaada).

Forgotten Rights

9 AUGUST 2021

TRT's 'Forgotten Rights' documentary traces both Turkey's and Greece's struggle in recognizing minority rights feared to set aflame the wave of insurgence that caused the bloodshed before the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne.

Confronting Islamophobia

2 AUGUST 2021

The French parliament approves a controversial anti-separatism bill said to battle extremism, despite criticism that the bill breaches religious freedoms. With far-left French politician Jean-Luc Melenchon calling it an ‘anti-republican and anti-Muslim’ law, the bill poses a clear threat for Muslims in France.
