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.

Park calls for crisis management

Kimaros' Chagga hut

I am referring to the article written by Young Hoy Kim Kimaro. The experience I had when visiting the traditional Chagga hut on the slopes of Kilimanjaro was made special because the hut had been reconstructed by Mr. Sadikiel Kimaro.

The recent editorial about Hang Kang's Man Booker Award was not at all the kind of writing we expect to find in The Korea Times and several of us who are translators of Korean literature are very unhappy about it.

Shoot down NK missiles

In a woeful observation of a possible implosion of and insane suicidal attack by North Korea, the Apr. 25 editorial "Disarming N. Korea" enumerates two options to confront Pyongyang after the estranged regime carried out a failed submarine-launched missile test and a forward relocation of rocket batteries for intimidation.

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. He was one of these so-called Bobos (the bourgeois bohemians from Paris, part of the intellectual elite, mostly with a socialist ideology, which in France translates with “being well off and secure in a clean neighborhood, but feeling sorry for what the rest of the less-educated population faces in their daily lives”).

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.
