Topic: Turkey’s New Kurdish Problem
Stance: objective
Audience: International person who take care of
Turkey
Quote:
1. Things looked more complicated from Turkey's
perspective though.
2. Nevertheless, Mr. Erdogan should have been
more amenable to helping Kobani's fighters.
3. Kobani could have been an opportunity to
help overcome these troubles, had the government used more empathetic language
and taken the key step of allowing Kurdish fighters from Iraq to pass through
Turkey to come to Kobani's aid a month ago.
4. The
underlying problem is that the government sees all opposition to its rule as a
well-crafted conspiracy to topple it and bring back the much-demonized “old
Turkey.”
5. But it
also needs to begin a new peace process with the opposition groups at home,
which it has been demonizing as traitors and enemies within.

Quote:
1. Here was a leader I had supported for years
— both as a voter and a columnist — as he battled against Turkey’s
authoritarian secularists, especially the coup-prone military, which had
executed or imprisoned some of his predecessors.
2. That’s why some Turkish liberals, including
me, who supported the A.K.P. in its early years, hoped that once Mr. Erdogan
became president, Mr. Gul would return to party politics and become the new
A.K.P. leader and prime minister.
4. By this logic, because Mr. Erdogan wins elections,
5. One hope is Mr. Erdogan's famous pragmatism, which has
repeatedly served to balance his personal and ideological dictates.
Agree to Mr. Erdogan to become president. In this article,
there are lots of ideas about support

Mustafa Akyol, (2014), Turkey Can Teach Israel How to End Terror
Topic: The problem about terror in Israel
Stance: Objective
Publication: Nytimes An international
publication
Audience: International person who take care of
Turkey
Quote:
1. ISTANBUL — As I write, the latest war in the
Gaza Strip and southern Israel rages on.
2. These debates in Israel remind me of a
similar debate at home during Turkey ’s decades-long struggle against the
terrorism of Kurdish insurgents.
3. Supporters of this military solution claimed
that the PKK survived only because foreign governments supported the insurgent
group to serve their own interests, and because of the PKK's violent fanaticism.
4. It's true that Hamas is a violent group and
that it must stop firing rockets into Israel and calling for the destruction of
the Jewish state.
5. And so long as that cycle of violence
continues, neither Israelis nor Palestinians will find the peace and dignity
that they deserve.

Cassandra Vinograd, (2014), Why
#BringBackOurGirls Plays Into Boko Haram's Hands
Topic: Missing Nigeria Schoolgirls
Stance: Critical
Publication: Nbcnews A national publication
Audience: National person who take care of Boko
Haram
Quote:
1. The
plight of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist
organization has gone from a national tragedy to an international crisis.
2. "If
an act like this brings attention, this is what you have to replicate or top to
bring more attention"
3. The
rescue operation faces numerous challenges, not least of which is the damage
caused by passage of time.
4. All of
the attention focused on the kidnappings could have an unintended consequence:
giving Boko Haram – and its leader – a public relations boost.
5. Or, he
might revel in his new-found profile and dare the US to take him on.

Goodluck Jonathan: ‘We will conquer the terrorists’
Topic: President’s attitude to the terrorists
Stance: objective
Publication: Thegrio A local publication
Audience: Local person who care of politics
Quote:
1. Nigeria’s president vowed Thursday to defeat
terrorism in his country, suggesting that the kidnapping of nearly 300
schoolgirls marked a turning point in his country’s battle against Islamist
extremists.
2. “By god's grace we will conquer the
terrorists,” he told the audience.
3. Boko Haram, an extremist Islamist
group, has claimed responsibility for kidnapping the girls weeks ago from their
school in the northeastern village of Chibok.
4. The group — whose name, roughly
translated, means “Western education is sinful” — has been waging a
bloody campaign in northeast Nigeria for years, destroying churches, kidnapping
scores of people and burning down schools, sometimes with the students locked
inside.
5. In an address to the World Economic Forum in
Abuja, President Goodluck Jonathan also thanked the U.S., U.K. and China for
their pledges of assistance to track down the girls, whose abductions have
sparked international outrage.
