A big defeat this for Erdoğan, but let's see what happens next as he's going to respond in some way. My call would be to do something to stir up nationalistic sentiments but probably not in Syria. Erdoğan is a very proud man and this is really going to hurt him.

I've been asked to edit a few MA dissertations and plagiarism can be an issue in some universities. It's often a system of nepotism and cronyism that's perpetuated by things like this. The supervisor of his thesis and the minister of finance, who happens to be the son in law of Erdoğan, is the same person.

The plagiarism is much more rampant in Germany.

I was in Kadikoy two days ago and they had banners up celebrating the fact that 82.4% of the district voted against Erdogan. Only Besiktas was higher

I like Kadikoy a lot. I was there in December.
As a Kadikoy related aside, I recommend this interview with Gaye Su Akyol by Robin Denselow in the Guardian last weekend https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...pop-powerhouse
Here's my favourite of her songs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovtSJVtkwho a cover of a Barış Manço song - and there is a Barış Manço museum in Kadikoy

Istanbul's new airport is a total disaster. Avoid for connections unless you have no choice. It seems the experienced staff from the old airport have been replaced by poorly trained new entrants. The signage to the terminals is awful and the walk from, say, A to F can be 20 minutes even for a young fit person. If you have to pay for excess luggage nobody knows whom you should pay or how; you get shunted between different teams whose staff don't want to help.
It is deeply unpopular in Istanbul due to being too far from the city and a general feeling that it was built on corruption and bribes.
Two football related issues: Besiktas' stadium looks from the tour bus as if the roof covers a lot of the ground, so lack of sunlight would perhaps be an issue. Erdogan has a stadium named after him

As distressing as it is predictable

They must have reached an agreement with Russia and Iran and therefore should only have set objectives. However that's no consolation for the thousands on the ground who'll suffer when this invasion takes place.

This is pretty distressing and predictable too, though I'm not clear what exactly the scope of "online content providers" is — are we just talking video/audio, or is it all publishers/hosting sites? Either way, expect even more censorship.
