Şehitler, Kuvâyi Milliye şehitleri,
mezardan çıkmanın vaktidir!
Şehitler, Kuvâyi Milliye şehitleri,
Sakarya'da, İnönü'nde, Afyon'dakiler
Dumlupınar'dakiler de elbet
ve de Aydın'da, Antep'te vurulup düşenler,
siz toprak altında ulu köklerimizsiniz
yatarsınız al kanlar içinde.
Şehitler, Kuvâyi Milliye şehitleri,
siz toprak altında derin uykudayken
düşmanı çağırdılar,
satıldık, uyanın!
Biz toprak üstünde derin uykulardayız,
kalkıp uyandırın bizi!
Uyandırın bizi!
Şehitler, Kuvâyi Milliye şehitleri,
mezardan çıkmanın vaktidir!
Nâzım Hikmet - 1959

PKK
There has been increased and sustained attacks by the terrorist group PKK against the innocent Turkish people recently. As with any other terrorist group, they're trying to destabilise the Turkish people and cause trouble in the Souther territories.
I have followed in delight that the Turkish parliament has again passed a sensible legislation and voted for cross border attacks in Northern Iraq against the terrorist group if the US or the Iraqi governments do not take any action to weed these people out of the country.
In sadness, I have seen some irresponsible comments on the BBC website from so called "Kurdish" people claiming that Northern Iraq has been the least troublesome area in Iraq and any Turkish actions in the area would put this at risk. I find it utterly irresponsible when the Turkish Republic welcomed the Kurdish people in the 80s and ensured the security of Northern Iraq for years.
It is also ironic to see the US government warning Turkey not to take any action along her borders where the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq for much flimsier grounds and both countries are thousands of miles away from the US.
I hope the Turkish Republic do take necessary actions to stop the violence and I fully support them. I do not think there is any other Turkish person who wouldn't.

C'mon the Canaries
Fenerbahce has made a blistering start to the Champions League this season. The reports on the home win against Inter were sensational. That was the first game in the group stages. The result was 1-0 but Fenerbahce could have scored a lot more. Tonight they played away at CSKA Moscow tonight and managed a well deserved 2-2 draw as well. 4 points from the first 2 games cannot be a bad start for Fenerbahce at all.
It is just a huge shame that the team is not playing as well in the domestic Turkish league.
I think the upcoming 2 games against PSV is going to be crucial for Fenerbahce's dreams of getting to the next stage in the Champions League for the first time in their history. Getting 2 points from the next 2 games would help thei cause a lot and anything less than that would probably put their chances of reaching the next stage beyond reach considering that they still need to play Inter in Milan. Although one advantage is playing CSKA at home for the last game.
