that peace is the core of…

Russian chocolate has become a minor addiction for me. I eat chocolate every day, sometimes several times a day. At home in the US I avoid sweets. The reason I eat chocolate here as opposed to at home in the US has to do with packaging.

Here are Stations

 

Here are not stations of the cross.  Here is not a pilgrimage to Mecca, or prayer before the Western Wall.

Here are the stations of my soul.  A kiss of breeze; a clasp of thunder.  Sometimes a…

Which coup has lost in Turkey?

by Thanos Kalamidas

2016-07-17

I don’t think democracy ever faced such an irony as a few days ago in Turkey. A man who rules violating basic democratic rules and constantly discriminates freedom of speech was saved from a military coup that tried to overthrow him by the reaction of the people and the…
