A cinema hall opened in France's western city of Strasbourg in 1913 and run by a Turk for the last three decades has been closed due to a change in the management tender.

Odyssee Cinema Hall, one of France's oldest halls, was hosting Turkish cinema festivals for the last 25 years.

Fatma Girik, a veteran actress of Turkish cinema, a.k.a. Yeşilçam, passed away on Jan. 24 at the age of 79.

She died of multiple organ failure at a private hospital in Istanbul, where she was being treated for COVID-19, according to a statement released by the hospital management.

My first reaction to the Dec. 17 and Dec. 25, 2013 corruption operations was: "An anti-corruption operation is sometimes not just an anti-corruption operation." In contrast, I have regarded the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's long march from Ankara to Istanbul from the start by thining: "A justice march sometimes is only a justice march."  

Leading business, art and sport representatives from Turkey have launched a civil society movement against recent terror attacks in a bid to boost the public's morale and maintain Turkey and Istanbul's brand value, calling on people to continue living their lives outside.
