My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for @NYTmag: nytimes.com/2025/05/20/magaz…

Korkunun ecele faydası yok! Öyle de yenileceksin! Böyle de yenileceksin. Haklılığımıza, cesaretimize, tevazumuza, güler yüzümüze yenileceksin! Aziz Milletim; Asla üzülmeyin, mahzun olmayın, umudunuzu yitirmeyin. Demokrasimize yapılan bu darbeyi, bu kara lekeyi el birliğiyle söküp atacağız. Bu süreci yöneten insanların, hem bu dünyada hem de ahirette yüce Yaradan huzurunda hesap vereceği günler yakındır. 86 milyon vatandaşımı sandığa koşmaya, demokrasi ve adalet mücadelesini tüm dünyaya duyurmaya davet ediyorum. Dimdik ayaktayım, asla eğilmeyeceğim. Her şey çok güzel olacak…

A (potentially) historic day in Turkey today. Abdullah Ocalan, the PKK’s imprisoned leader, has called on the group he founded almost half a century ago to disarm and dissolve. An end to one of the world’s longest ongoing conflicts may be within reach.

Never thought we’d see a technocratic government in Syria before Lebanon — & never thought I would ever report from my hometown. 1st byline from Damascus, 1st byline with @rayajalabi. New world. Our read on the most bonkers meeting we’ve ever sat in on: ft.com/content/7efc20db-6da9…

“Tourists are very welcome, but some people are becoming greedy, turning every part of the island into a hotel,” she said. “If it continues at this rate, then we, too, will be banging our heads against the wall like Mykonos or Santorini.”w/ @CeylanWrites nytimes.com/2024/09/23/trave…

With international tourism to Europe booming, some hot spots have been overwhelmed, making visitors the targets of a tourism backlash. Heat waves and fires have only added to the pressure. nyti.ms/3XpaBsa by @CeylanWrites

A new entry fee for Venice daytrippers. Limits on public drinking in Milan. As more destinations slap tourists with restrictions and fees, Copenhagen is taking a different approach: rewarding visitors who act responsibly.nyti.ms/3W094a4 by @CeylanWrites
