💞🌸💝I believe in the woman💐🌸🌼

                   
I believe in a pious, sophisticated, elegant, accountable, amicable and strong woman. I believe in the woman who is able to stand up for herself. I believe in the woman who doesn't need to hide behind her husband's back. I believe in the woman who is capable of fighting any ill-fated event whether it is domestically or externally. I believe in the woman who is able to stand with and express solidarity with her lovely husband when he has been in the state of the unbridled problem, facing financial hardships as well as being enmeshing in mentally disturbing and physically painful as well. It is because of the fact that marriage life is the unbreakable bond of lasting friendship which only will grow deeper and stronger. It is believed that marriage life to have been built on shared belief in human dignity, and shared love of freedom as well as combination of truthfulness and  trustworthy, sacrosanct, unwavering, and unshakable in which both strongly believe in mutual cooperation and serenity, mutually perceived way of life which is based on premise in ideological indifferences, acknowledging same religious set of beliefs and God-conscious oriented life as well.  In addition to, both believe in working closely to weed out any indifferences immediately in any matters that might be harmful for relationship, participating mutually to work at home. Most importantly, both strongly believe in not indulging any rumours ,speculation currency etc., which is detrimental to relationship, these acts are total and complete baseless, wild, unsubstantiated, false and immoral as well as unethical. But believe in your heart don't I believe that if you have problems, as a woman you deal with them you don't play victim you don't make yourself look pitiful you don't point fingers. You stand and you deal. You face the world with a head held high and you carry the universe in your heart. I believe in all women, including the ones who have had their strength drained from them and are in need of the strength of each other, of the comfort of their husbands, of being soft when needed, of being gentle and being the part of the family that balances the harder strength of the husband. I believe that women can be strong, and still have the need to seek comfort and help and accept it when it is given to her from the Mercy of Allah. All women are people I believe have worth, all women matter and have their special place and precious gifts to share.

Turkey at a crossroads Part-2 (Final)

Growing strategic synergy ties Russia

The increasingly forging ties with Russia on major international issues such as Syria, also an immediate neighbor of Turkey that seems to have reflecting bringing peace and stability in Syria. Paradigm shift of Ankara’s policy pertaining to Syrian president Assad is also the reflection of the same. Because of the fact that Russia has played a profound and vital in giving detail intelligence information about coup plotters. After failed-coup, the first foreign tour of Erdogan was Russia in which both were agreed to establish a sustained, substantive and constructive diplomatic relations. Now both nations have attained a new level of understanding friendship and strategic depth.

Both decided to work closely to boost counter-terror and insurgency cooperation including effective information sharing and capacity building.They agreed to cooperate closely to promote peace and stability in war-ravaged Syria and bringing the civil war to end.Moreover, both Ankara and Moscow are agreed to intensify their cooperation against international terrorism and pledged to pulverize ISIS. Before long they are going to have been turned Daesh’s phony caliphate to dust. The burgeoning and deepening the Turkish-Russian military entente will add a further dimension to the overall. In the long run, it would result in bringing peace and prosperity, stability in the regions.

Their relationship are based on deeper economic engagement, growth of trade and tourism industry, a continued bolstering anti-terror operations, manufacturing and investment ties as well as partnership to increase cooperation in the field of oil and gas.

Upcoming constitutional referendum

The constitutional referendum is scheduled to take place in June 2017. If it would succeed, then it is going to put the final nail in the coffin of so called country’s western democracy. But at the same time it must be emphasized that it would pave the way for bolstering the spiritual democracy which is based on the values and morals of Turkish culture and society. They will grant the president full executive powers, abolish the post of Prime minister, and significantly reduce the powers of parliament. In addition to, it will give the unprecedented and unbridled rights to the president that has power and authority to dissolve parliament, veto legislation, decide the budget and appoint ministers as well. Sometimes it becomes necessary to take tough and appropriate steps to save country’s unity and integrity. It is well said that changing rules for changing needs and unchanging rules for unchanging needs. If Erdogan would succeed in upcoming referendum, then it will be an unprecedentedly radical shift for post-Kemalist Turkey.

Security and foreign policy perspectives

In context of security, terrorism will continue to remain a grave threat during 2017. Innocent Turkish people unfortunately will continue to bear the brunt of IS and Kurdish terrorist attacks. Because Turkey surrounding with decimated old middle east region, and situated at a strategically important with complicated regions. President Erdogan should use all his tools to eliminate terrorism from Turkish soil whether these tools could be political, humanitarian, economic, law enforcement or intelligence. Erdogan should urge all the Muslim leaders especially in the Middle East region and bring together all to oppose IS nihilistic vision and genocidal agenda, to demolish their revenue sources, to kill Daesh’s leaders, to curb their recruitment as well as rebut their poisonous ideals and chaotic ideologically ideas as well. They are undoubtedly a genocidal enemy of Muslim Ummah. The fact of the matter is that Erdogan was possibly one of the few world leaders that admitted the nature of the tectonic shift across the globe. Also, he is one of the few leaders all over the world that has a profound grasp of geopolitical manoeuvring, the fulcrum of geostrategic imperatives as well as modern warfare doctrines.

It is very sad to say that within the Muslim world Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran are major players instead of resolving the problems; they are battling amongst each other to grip the crumbling old Middle East and jostling each other to spread the sphere of influence in already decimated and devastated Muslim world.

Turkey at a crossroads Part-1

The New Year’s Eve attack on Istanbul nightclub that killed at least 39 people and wounded many people, most of them were foreigners. Ankara and Istanbul have been targeted by several terrorist attacks in 2016 carried out by the Islamic State group or Kurdish rebels, killing more than 180 people. Turkey is a member of the NATO alliance and a partner in the US-led coalition fighting against IS group in Syria and Iraq, in another front, it is also actively involved launching an incursion into Syria in August 2016 to drive the other radical Sunni militants from its borders. Turkey has lost more than 260 people in terror attacks at different locations since Jan 2016. How has turkey a politically stable with a booming economy descended into instability and chaos?

The outlook for Turkey in 2017 is anything but optimistic, with a declining tourism industry, widening terror footprint, escalating internal insurgency and ambitious geopolitical realignments in the Muslim world, deepening diplomatic rapprochement with Russia as well as cementing toward neo-ottomanism dream that would shape Turkey’s future policies and programmes.

Moreover, the major geopolitical challenges of 2017 that could seriously change the balance of power in the international arena are one of the dramatic changing situations in Turkey. 2016 was one of the worst years in terms of fatalities in Turkey.
Economic perspective
Turkish tourism industry is adversely affected by a serious of the terrorist bombing that stormed its capital Ankara and the main economic hub and crowding city Istanbul. The tourism economy of Turkey which makes a fairly large contribution to its GDP. A large of tourist comes from Russia that also forced Turkish President Erdogan to forge ties with Moscow in the field of tourism, trade, and commerce. Both countries agreed to cooperate closely to promote tourism culture and enhance investment in the regions.
Political and Islamic perspective
Political stability and economic stability are partners. Geopolitical and strategic imperatives will continue to remain the deciding factor in shaping the Turkey’s internal political stability and peace. Geopolitical risks will continue to be critical challenges for Erdogan in 2017 to preserve country’s unity and territorial integrity. For the sake of Turkey’s stability, peace, and prosperity, it is to be ensured that Turkish president Erdogan should immediately shut down the U.S., military base which is located in Incirlik. As long as it remains to exist on Turkish soil, it will be providing a safe haven for coup plotters and anti-Turkish elements. As a result of this, Erdogan will remain to face the threat of coup. Because of the fact that Turkish military establishment is still a secular institution and suspicious of his Islamist beliefs. The current civilian establishment is pro-Islamic regime and also expected to lean towards instilling Islamic political system which is premised on the principle of gender justice and co-existence as well as a beacon of tolerance.
That’s first thing and second thing is that he should give up on his EU bid. In quest of entering EU for a long time is a wishful strategy, the fact is that members of EU are not going to accept Turkey as an EU member because Turkey is a Muslim country and also Erdogan’s domestic policy reflecting on strengthening Islamic social system.

Gulen Movement

• It is an Islamic transnational religious and social movement led by Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen, who has lived in the United States since 1999.

• The movement has attracted supporters and critics in Turkey, Central Asia, and other parts of the world.

• It is active in education with private schools and universities in over 180 countries as well as many American charter schools operated by followers.

• Despite its teachings that are considered conservative even in Turkey, some have praised the movement as a pacifist, modern-oriented version of Islam, and as an alternative to more extreme schools of Islam such as Salafism.

• The Gulen movement is a former ally of the Turkish Justice and Development Party (AKP). When the AKP came to power in 2002 the two formed, despite their differences, a tactical alliance against military tutelage and the secular elite.

• It was through this alliance that the AKP had accomplished an unprecedented feat in Turkish republican history by securing national electoral victories sufficient to form three consecutive majority governments in 2002, 2007, and 2011.

• The Gulen movement gained influence on the Turkish police force and the judiciary during its alliance with conservative President Erdogan, which saw hundreds of Gulen supporters appointed to positions within the Turkish government.

• Once the old establishment was defeated around 2010 to 2011 disagreements emerged between the AKP and the Gulen movement.

• Since 11 December 2015 the Gulen movement is classified as a terrorist organization in Turkey.

• After the failed coup attempt in 2016, the government of Turkey blamed the group for the coup and authorities have arrested thousands of soldiers and judges.

• Over ten thousand education staff were suspended and the licenses of over 20,000 teachers working at private institutions were revoked for alleged affiliation to Gulen.

• Fethullah Gulen strongly condemned the coup, and rejected claims of his involvement.

The Work Of Media Ought To Be Fair And Equitable

Lurid Headlines, Blatant Falsehoods, Media Trials, Sensation Sans Sensitivity, Manipulation of Mind, Propagating Psychological Warfare, Fomenting Communal Tension rather than Communal Amity, Creating Outrage rather than Awareness as well as Spreading Biased News rather than Objectivity have become the everydayness of routine in mainstream media in all over the world.

The media and journalism should imbibe the five core tasks viz. identify verification, sense making, bearing witness, putting facts and events and investigation. These core tasks will be the foundation as well as bottom line on which whole press in the modern and digital age is going to be rebuilt completely. The work of media is to have been digging deep, truth seeking, placing facts and events in context and in historical perspective, profound insight into the events and adhering to wisdom-oriented as well. They should not have lack of credible and trustworthy information, sequestered discipline and prejudiced manner in making and reporting news. They should have right to analysing and commenting independently and freely, acting justly, humanely and ethically. These rights should become an integral part of journalism. The duty of journalism has to be imbued with freedom, humanity, bias-free, norms and ethics in addition to justice.

I am deeply saddened by the on-going debate of nationalism, especially by the certain elements of media in which they have been repeatedly saying and giving certificate of nationalist. This is out and out terrifying. Recently in the case of the surgical strike in which some sections of media and TV news have been deliberately fomenting and inflaming jingoism. That would result in ultra-nationalism, further which in turn fascist idea. The time has come when this blatant hypocrisy of media should come to an end. They should respect different and divergent view of people. Some groups of TV are obsessed with national security concerns, as a result of this, they always indulging in reporting of false news and creating panic among people. Nowadays it became very common that media is about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover and keeping them in a uproar.

The work of media should be to expose scandals, conduct campaigns against those who are desperately and deliberately trying to subvert the constitutions of a nation, to coerce the Government to conform to what it asserts and promises made during election campaigns to be the will of the people and to create awareness about Government’s policies and programmes. I always remember the quote of Turkish Novelist Mehmet Murat, very nicely said about media that “Unless you have a free press in your country, there is no need to buy newspapers and there is no need to watch the news because there is no need to listen to the lies! And you already have one real information: You are being deceived by the people you are governed! This is an enough information for you!”
