Charles de Gaulle

During the era of PASOK's omnipotence, which was 30 years or more ago, the main opposition at the time, New Democracy, tended to refer to the silent majority in its political rhetoric.

It based this on the belief that the broad middle class did not join street protests or rallies, did not shout and did not provoke. In other words, it just minded its own business.

French reporter Loup Bureau, who had been held on "terror" charges in Turkey in a case that sparked tensions between Ankara and France, arrived in Paris on Sept. 17 after being freed.

Bureau, 27, arrived onboard an Air France jet at Charles de Gaulle Airport on a flight from Istanbul, the campaign group Reporters without Borders (RSF) said in a tweet.

Daily Hürriyet recently published the views of presidential adviser Mehmet Uçum in which he defended the new system.

Uçum is a lawyer who is very knowledgeable on issues of political systems.

Previously, the analysis of Hürriyet's Bülent Sarıoğlu was published. You cannot see this kind of objectivity in the pro-government media.

An Air France Boeing 777 en route from Mauritius to Paris was evacuated at Mombasa airport, Kenya, after a suspicious device was found in the plane’s toilets. Air France Chief Frederic Gagey said the fake bomb device was a cardboard box, paper and a timer and described the fake bomb placement as an “extremely aggressive act”.

The German parliament approved overwhelmingly on Friday the deployment of a military mission in support of the international coalition against Islamic State (IS) in Syria.

A total of 445 MPs voted in favour of the mission, 146 lawmakers were against, while seven abstained, Deutsche Welle informs.

France continues the military operation against the ISIS with Rafale jet fighters taking off from Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier to strike ISIS targets at Syria and Iraq.

France responded to Friday's attacks in Paris, which had claimed the lives of 129 people and left hundreds injured, by launching airstrikes on the Islamic State (IS) stronghold of Raqqa on Sunday.

According to the French Defence Ministry, ten warplanes dropped twenty guided bombs on four IS targets in Raqqa, which is the headquarters of IS in Syria.

Air France had been expected to present the full details of the job cuts during its central committee at Charles de Gaulle airport yesterday before the meeting was disrupted and descended into chaos with employees rushing into the room.

The managers of Air France were almost lynched and managed to escape with their shirts ripped off.

The French government has confiscated the personal documents of six local citizens on account of their planned trips to Syria on Monday.

The passports and other personal documents will be held for six months initially, but the term could be further extended if needed, as reported by the Bulgarian National radio.

As my Turkish Airlines flight landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, I became more anxious...

The difficulties I endured the first time I went to the United States, six months after Sept. 11, are still vivid in my memory. I have many friends who no longer want to go to America because of these difficulties.
