Fishermen in Lake Van cast lines as fishing ban ends

Fishermen have set off to Lake Van, Turkey's largest lake, to catch pearl mullet as the fishing ban ends on July 15.

Completing all their preparations, fishermen living in settlements on the shores of the lake have set out in the early hours of the morning on July 15, calling out "Vira Bismillah," meaning "raising the anchor in the name of God" in Turkish.

A letter from 'the son of Atilla'

Why are Greek Cypriots so offensive? Why do they attack and insult anyone who dares write something to their displeasure? Where is their tolerance to others' opinions in the Greek Cypriot democracy? In so many letters, as well as in discussion groups, there were incredible accusations against me.
