Going after the tail of Saudi Arabia
Turkey's Foreign Ministry said it was concerned by attacks on Saudi Arabian diplomatic missions in Iran.
Indeed, everyone should be concerned about such incidents.
Every entity that calls itself "a state" is committed of protecting the security of the diplomats in its country and the buildings they work. It is unacceptable that such attacks have been permissible.
But the executions in Saudi Arabia are nowhere to be found the Foreign Ministry's statement.
Among the executed is a religious cleric who has rejected violence and has been pursuing his struggle on the political sphere.
Is it possible that a ministry of a government that has been proud of "standing by the side of the oppressed" missed that point?
And that, despite the statement of Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmu?, which said execution of political death sentences will not contribute to the region's peace.
Turkey should have come up with a strong commitment to prove that it remained neutral in the contention between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
But that has not been the case. Let's hope that this stance will not result in sliding into new adventures following the tail of Saudi Arabia.
The reputation of the parliament
The administration of the parliament has made a "reputation operation" by removing the prices off the menu of the parliament restaurant.
This way, only deputies will know how much it will cost when they buy lunch for their guests.
Apparently, deputies are resentful about the comments made about the restaurant's low prices. They think being known for having the cheapest restaurant in the world is harming the reputation of the parliament.
Deputies receive thousands of visitors; low prices...
