Coup attempt in Turkey

What happened on the night of 15 July 2016 in Turkey was an attempted coup by a small faction within the Turkish Armed Forces to overthrow the democratically-elected government and disrupt the constitutional order in Turkey. This attempt had nothing to do with the vast majority of the Turkish Armed Forces. The coup plotters were defeated by the bravery of the Turkish people, who in their thousands took to the streets to defend Turkish democracy.

Irrational British decision

My feelings as a person from "the continent" after BREXIT might be similar to those of a spouse whose partner of decades, despite all the pleading, finally filed for divorce. But the project of the European Enlightenment is not tied to one form of political organization.

In a woeful observation of a possible implosion of and insane suicidal attack by North Korea, the Apr. 25 editorial "Disarming N.

Wrong lessons on French expat policy

Regarding the May 6 editorial, “No expat policy,” I remember speaking with a friend of mine in France over 30 years ago.

Reason for Korea's high smoking rate

In the April 4 “Cigarette packaging row” editorial, the government's showcasing of a set of horrible warning images to be put on cigarette packs is mentioned as a step in the right direction as part of efforts to rein in the highest smoking rate among OECD nations.
