Suruç

Four people have been detained on June 24 over an alleged vote rigging in the Suruç district of the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa, state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The former police chief of the Suruç district in Şanlıurfa province has claimed that a warning letter, sent from the Şanlıurfa provincial police HQ to the Suruç district police office three days before an ISIL suicide bomb attack in Suruç last July, warned them about an attack targeting security forces - rather than the group that was attacked. 

Only days before marking the beginning of 2016, the main opposition leader of the country has argued that the 92-year-old Republic of Turkey has actually been passing through one of its most major crises, citing five key problematic areas as "terror, economy, education, societal peace and law."

The Suruç Families Initiative, which brings together families of victims of July's Suruç bombing, visited Ankara to demand a halt to a confidentiality order imposed on the investigation file and ask for punishment for perpetrators of the bombing that took the lives of 34 people. 

Turkey will deport seven Russians suspected of being members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who were detained on Dec. 1 in Kilis, a southern province bordering Syria.

The seven ISIL-linked Russians, including five children, were detained in Kilis's Elbeyli district early on Dec. 1 as they attempted to cross into Turkey from Syria.

Thousands of Syrians died, Aleppo was destroyed and Damascus perished. The Syrian population had to leave their homes; they became misplaced. The corpses of children were washed up on shores. No voice saying "Pray for Syria" was echoed on a global scale.    

Two people in Turkey's southeastern province of ?anl?urfa have been arrested for "insulting" President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an on social media.

The two people, identified only by their initials M.?. and F.T., were detained in ?anl?urfa's Suruç district for sharing posts on social media that included "insults and curses" directed at Erdo?an.

So remote are their hopes of returning to Syria that even some of the teachers in the schools for refugees in Turkey quit to go to Europe. 

"Two teachers left from our school, but from another school five teachers went," said Ahmet Shahine, a 35-year old with greying hair who teaches Arabic at a refugee school set up within a primary school in the border town of Suruç. 

Turkey?s opposition parties have mobilized to have the country?s national assembly involved in the investigation of the Oct.

The report by McClatchy, the U.S. publishing company, alleging that Turkish intelligence tipped off the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front, and led to the recent routing by the group of opposition forces trained in Turkey by the U.S., has seriously ruffled Ankara?s feathers.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Tanju Bilgic said the report was an ?ill-intentioned and lowly slander.?
