| I was at Bogazici library this morning. If you are not a student or staff you cannot join the lending library. Instead you get the books you want, take them down to the the photocopy room, which has a big notice about intellectual copyright. Tell the bloke you want the whole book photocopied and bound. It cost me 16 ytl for 3 hefty books. |

Words in guest book at Ataturk's home will cost citizen 10 thousand YTL
Turkish citizen Fethi Dorcuncu has been found guilty of insulting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan with words he wrote in the guest book kept open for visitors to write in at the Thessaloniki birth home of Ataturk.
Ankara's 25th Court of Justice ordered Dorduncu to pay a fine of 10 thousand YTL for "insulting Erdogan before society, and making serious infractions in terms of personal insults, as well as provoking hatred and emity in the society at large."

This happened several months back, didn't it? I remember the poor old guy (he's in his 80s) on the news, weeping because he was just doing what he thought was right. It was so sad-- how do they expect him to pay that on his pension?
Oh yeah. He can just ask his relatives.
Anyway, I think he wrote something along the lines of how the religious government is messing up the country and that piece by piece they are undoing everything Ataturk stood for, and he included something like 'Shame on you, Erdoğan.' This happened around the time it became clear that Erdoğan was planning to take over as Head of the Republic, and the old guy was responding to that, if I remember correctly...
Really bad form on Edoğan's part to make such a fuss, if you ask me. But no one has. |
