By 1093 0

Turkey has removed all restrictions which prevents the entry of migrants to Europe through the land border the country shares with the continent.

It is the Syrian War that stands as the prime reason for the emergence of the global migrant crisis. The Europe is the prime victim of the crisis.

Greece is struggling with the crisis at this juncture. The latest action of Turkey is likely to bring chaos in Greece, which is already in a very bad state.

The economy of Greece is at present in a very depressing state. It is this state which makes it difficult for the country to handle the situation.

What Turkey attempts with its latest move is a pressure tactics. It is irritated due to its latest debacle in Syria. With the move, it attempts to bring the Europe in its favour.

At this moment, it remains unclear how the European powers like Germany and France will react to the indirect provocation made by Turkey.

Murderers of reformed Denmark gangster get life imprisonment

By 1088 0

The youngsters, who shot a reformed gangster, Nedim Yasar, has been awarded a tough punishment of life imprisonment by a court based in the Denmark city of Copenhagen.

He was murdered shortly after he had published a book exposing his unpleasant life as a gangster.

That murder attempt was not the first one. Prior to that, he had suffered several murder attempts.

Interestingly, still it remains unknown why the youngsters attacked and murdered the reformed gangster.

During his last days, Mr. Yasar was a social worker. He was working for the betterment of children. He campaigned actively among children to let them understand the relevance of education. He was very sure that children of this generation should not suffer what he had suffered during his childhood days.

Mr. Yasar was a Turkish by origin. He was only three year old when he reached the European country of Denmark.

During his teenage days, he emerged as a dreaded gangster in his city. He had maintained his criminal status until he came to know that he was to become a father.

It is important to expose why this man was murdered. It is unfortunate that the prosecution has blindly accepted the statement made by the culprits that they could not recollect what happened during the night in which the murder of the reformed gangster happened.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Croatian singer faces criminal charges as she presents distorted version of national anthem

By 956 0

A popular Croatian singer, Josipa Lisac, has been booked as she has presented a distorted version of her country’s national anthem.

The case has been registered in response to a complaint registered by a Croatian lawyer, who has found the distortion of his country’ national anthem by the singer as offensive.

The highly experienced singer, who has more than 53 years experience in the field of music, was the main performer in the latest inaugural function organised to induct the new President.

It is suspected that the case is a politically motivated one.

A singers’ organisation has strongly supported veteran singer Ms. Josipa. It has called the case the questionable intrusion into the freedom of artists.

Many have come forward to support the singer. Almost all social media platforms have been flooded with messages supporting the artist.

Many do not by the argument that the singer has intentionally disrespected the national anthem of her country with her song.

It is a classic case to prove how vulnerable the freedom of artists is in the developed continent of Europe.

It is high time to organise to make sure that the freedom of artists is not scarified at the altar of the new normal of aggressive nationalism.
