Witch Hunt to Russian Culture; The bill of Putin’s Policies is Cutting to Dostoevsky
Ada Şeko's article discusses the cultural repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, particularly the 'cancel culture' against Russian arts and literature. The article highlights the global trend of excluding Russian cultural elements as a form of sanction following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. President Putin has compared this trend to Nazi practices, while Turkish President Erdogan has condemned actions against Russian culture. The article also touches on the influx of Russian citizens to Turkey, which has not joined the sanctions against Russia, and the potential conflicts between Russian and Ukrainian artists in Turkey. Şeko argues that art and culture should be separated from political decisions and that individuals should be judged by their works and thoughts, not their nationality or political stance.

The Effects of Displacement on Palestinian Identity: An Interview with Sami Al-Arian
The article features an interview with Sami Al-Arian, Director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA), conducted by Yeter Ada Şeko, discussing the impact of the displacement of Palestinians after the establishment of the state of Israel. Al-Arian explains that the Palestinian identity has been shaped by collective trauma, as many were uprooted and forced to live in refugee camps or foreign countries. He notes that the lack of citizenship and rights in host countries, as well as the ongoing struggle for Palestine, have further solidified Palestinian identity across generations and geographies. The interview highlights the psychological effects of displacement, the challenges of assimilation, and the strong connection to Palestine maintained by the diaspora through community associations and the shared experience of struggle.
Nobel Prize for Literature Sparks International Outrage
Peter Handke was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, sparking controversy due to his denial of the Bosnian Genocide and support for Slobodan Milosevic. His award on International Human Rights Day led to diplomatic boycotts from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, and Turkey. Kosovo's Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli and Albania’s Acting Foreign Minister Gent Cakaj publicly condemned the decision. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized the Swedish Academy, stating the award endorsed human rights violations and tarnished the Nobel Prize's reputation. The Academy praised Handke's work but avoided discussing his controversial views. Handke's support for Milosevic included attending his funeral and defending Serbia in his writings, which critics argue lack factual analysis.
