Üç öğüt
Sevgili dostlar , Avcının biri tuzak kurarak bir serçe avlamıştı . Eline alır almaz serçe dile geldi ve :
‘ Bugüne kadar ...’ dedi . ‘ Sığır ve koyunlar yedin . Yediklerini düşünsene . Doymadın mı da benim . birkaç gramlık etime hevesleniyorsun ? Onlar seni doyurmadıysa ben ne yapabilirim ki ?! Bırak beni .’
Avcı şaşırdı . Hem serçenin dile gelmesine hem de şimdiye kadar yediklerine . Serçe , sürdürdü konuşmasını :
‘ Şayet bırakırsan sana üç altın öğüt vereceğim . Bir lokma kuş etini mi tercih ediyorsun , ömrün boyunca yararını göreceğin üç öğüdü mü ? İyi düşün !’

Turkey ’ s new PM announces govt program
Erdogan : No EU readmission deal without visa freedom
Turkey ’ s president said Tuesday there would be no readmission agreement with the European Union unless talks on visa freedom for Turks are “ fruitful ”. Speaking at the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul , Recep Tayyip Erdogan said : “ If these [ talks ] are fruitful , it ’ s good , [ but ] if not , then what will happen is that a step will have to be taken at the Turkish parliament and the law regarding the readmission agreement will not be carried out .” A readmission process between the EU and Turkey , entered into in October 2014 , makes it possible to return undocumented migrants who enter Europe via Turkey and vice versa . Full implementation of the readmission agreement is also required in order to implement a visa-liberation process for Turkey . Talks over visa freedom for nearly 80 million Turks soured when the EU requested that Turkey complete the five remaining benchmarks , out of an initial 72 , including one on terrorism . Turkey , which is currently fighting terrorist groups such as Daesh and the PKK , has refused to alter its terrorism laws . “[ The EU ] should not keep trying to impose criteria on us . This is Turkey ,” Erdogan said , adding that certain Latin American countries , whose citizens are exempt from visa requirements to travel to the Schengen borderless zone , did not have to fulfill the same criteria as Turkey . Erdogan asked why Turkey , which is an EU candidate country and part of the bloc ’ s customs union , would have to fulfill 72 requirements . Visa freedom is also part of an EU- Turkey deal which provides a 6 billion euro ($ 6.8 billion ) aid package to meet the needs of millions of refugees in Turkey and speeding up the country ’ s accession talks . But Erdogan reiterated that Turkey , which has already spent billions of dollars on Syrian refugees since the beginning of the crisis , does not need the EU ’ s money . “ At the end of the day [ the aid ] doesn ’ t come to Turkey , it is provided to refugees in camps mostly to improve their living conditions --Turkey is not asking for favors ,” Erdogan said . “ What we want is honesty , Turkey is supposed to fulfill criteria , what criteria are these , what [ do ] you mean by criteria ?” he said . The deal was agreed on late last year , when more than a million refugees reached the EU and more than 800 drowned in the Aegean Sea as human traffickers crammed them on unseaworthy
Turkey refugee deal could collapse unless the bloc allows Turks visa freedom , says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
A new constitution and shifting to a presidential system will be top priorities , says PM Binali Yildirim
A new constitution and adopting a presidential system will be among the new government ’ s top priorities , according to new Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim . “ In all the elections up to now , political parties have always promised a new constitution . However , these promises have unfortunately been shelved , and this parliament elected by the nation ’ s will has failed to write a new constitution ,” Yildirim said as he presented the program of the 65th Cabinet to parliament ruling Justice and Development in parliament to pass constitutional changes by vote or else Tuesday .

Headed by Fetullah Gulen , a U . S . -based Islamic preacher who runs a network of schools and commercial enterprises in Turkey and around the world , the “ parallel state ” represents a clandestine group of Turkish bureaucrats and senior officials , allegedly embedded in the country ’ s institutions , including the judiciary and the police . Known also by the initials FE- TO / PDY , the organization is also said to be behind a December 2013 corruption investigation into senior government figures , including ministers . Since early 2014 , investigations into the parallel state have seen hundreds of civil servants , including police and public prosecutors , arrested or reassigned . As for foreign policy , Yildirim said it is essential to contribute to peace and stability in the region , and the world at large . “ Our goal in foreign policy is to continue pursuing policies which would ensure lasting peace and fellowship in the immediate region ,” he said . The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization also by the U . S ., and the EU -- resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015 . Since then , more than 480 members of the security forces , including soldiers , police officers , and village guards , have been martyred , and over 4,900 PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq .

According the statement , two other soldiers were wounded in the same attack by PKK terrorists at 5 p . m . local time [ 14:00GMT ] in Van ’ s Caldiran district . Local sources talked to Anadolu Agency , saying that the commander of the district gendarmerie , Major Kivanc Cesur , was martyred in the incident . In another region , Turkish forces killed three terrorists in Sirnak ’ s Silopi district after they failed to stop at a security checkpoint and opened fire along the Silopi-Cizre road , a source said . According to the unnamed source , who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media , after the shootout , security forces seized guns and ammunition from the car . Moreover , 26 PKK terrorists surrendered to security forces in Turkey ’ s southeastern province of Mardin ’ s Nusaybin district Tuesday .

The counter-terrorism operation in Nusaybin has been ongoing since March 14 . Turkey ’ s southeast has been the scene of significant military operations since December 2015 as the police and army seek to clear the PKK terrorist organization from urban areas .

Since then , more than 480 members of the security forces , including troops , police officers , and village guards , have been martyred , and over 4,900 PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq .
NATO : Mansoor led Taliban attacks , blocked peace talks
NATO head says Mansoor hindered Afghan peace , reconciliation , but stops short of approving US airstrike on Taliban leader In a statement posted on NATO ’ s website on Monday , Stoltenberg said , “ Under Mullah Mansur ’ s leadership , the Taliban have continued to conduct brutal attacks across Afghanistan , leading to the death and suffering of countless Afghan civilians and security forces , and posing a major daily threat to the forces of the US and other NATO Allies and partners . “ Mullah Mansur stood in the way of talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban , blocking the prospects for progress towards peace and reconciliation for Afghanistan .” The statement added that NATO “ remain [ s ] fully committed to our mission to train , advice and assist Afghan security forces , so that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorism .” Stoltenberg concluded , “ We support an Afghan-led and owned process for peace and reconciliation , and welcome all efforts in this regard . This is the time for Afghans to talk to Afghans , so that Afghanistan can develop in peace and security .” Mansoor was killed by a U . S . airstrike along the Afghanistan- Pakistan border region , the Pentagon said Saturday . According to the U . S . Defense Department , Mansoor was “ an obstacle to peace and reconciliation between Afghanistan and the Taliban by prohibiting Taliban leaders from participating in peace talks with the Afghan government that could lead to an end to the conflict ”. Since Mansoor assuming the Taliban leadership after the 2013 death of his predecessor Mullah Omar , the “ Taliban have conducted numerous attacks that have resulted in the death of tens of thousands of Afghan civilians and Afghan security forces as well as numerous U . S . and coalition personnel ,” according to the Pentagon .
