Show Notes

Spanning East and West - that imaginary division of the classical world - Turkey’s social and political dilemmas as well as the responses to them should be of keen interest to all of us. From the secularism of Kamal Ataturk, to dreams of European membership, the rise of the AK Party, the crackdown at Gezi Park and the brutal wars that have turned Turkey into a frontline state, each must give us pause to reflect. Today Akyol, a journalist and believer, walks us through many contentious Turkish conversations.
