President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on April 9 that a photograph showing him teaching the Quran to one of his grandchildren was taken on the night of the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016.

A photo showing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan teaching the Quran to his grandson Ahmet Akif Albayrak has been published in pro-government daily newspaper Yeni Şafak.

Ahmet Akif Albayrak is the son of the president's daughter Esra Albayrak and Energy Minister Berat Albayrak, who married in Istanbul in May 2016.

There is rejoicing in our Antalya and Van provinces, where one Iranian plane lands after the other. Tourists are pouring in like rain. As the ones who arrive are from wealthy segments, they do a lot of shopping. 

This does not compensate the lack of Western tourists, but this of course is good. 

An armed attack was staged on pro-government journalist Cem Küçük's house in Istanbul's Güngören district late Feb. 20. 

Küçük, who is a columnist for daily Yeni Şafak, said his brother was living in the house. 

A highly anticipated phone call between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and U.S. President Donald Trump is slated to take place in the coming days, a presidential spokesperson said over the weekend. 

The Turkish government has announced that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militant who attacked the famous nightclub Reina at Istanbul's Ortaköy was probably an Uighur. 

An alleged Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militant who carried out an attack on a famous nightclub at the heart of Istanbul is still in the city, according to reports. 

A major manhunt is underway for the militant who attacked Reina in Ortaköy, killing 39 while wounding 65 others.

Former Youth and Sports Minister Suat Kılıç has denied daily Yeni Şafak's claims that accused him of being the Gülen-linked individual who threatened an education ministry official not to accept the promotion that brought to him to his current post.  
 

Turkey's former Youth and Sports Minister Suat Kılıç is the individual who in 2013 threatened an official who later became the Education Ministry undersecretary, daily Yeni Şafak claimed on Jan. 2, adding that Kılıç cited links to Fethullah Gülen in his threat. 

He is showing the performance of a political personality that those who underestimated him by labelling him "a technocrat" cannot ignore.
It is a performance that was not expected from Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Şimşek.

He said that whether we like it or not, a Turkey deprived of its ties with the European Union would be seen as a third-world country.
