Political Prowess in France
Political Prowess in France 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!
