Contemporary Turkish politics have long been roiled by cultural and social debates rooted in the legacy of modernization initiated in the 1920s by Mustafa Kemal Atatrk. Islamist challenges to Ataturk's secularism, to political corruption and economic inefficiency, and debates over the meaning of human rights, all remain open to argument-in Ankara as well as elsewhere.

I was inspired by Hollywood movie in giving a name to this book. Matrix is the name of a fake world which is believed to be fictitious. September 11 was a starting point which differentiates between those who resist and those who don't and between those who believe and those who don't.

Es widmet sich gleichwohl aktuellen Entwicklungen der Beziehungen EU-Türkei und fragt vor dem Hintergrund des sogenannten „Horizonten 2023“ nach den Herausforderungen, die sowohl der EU als auch der Türkei bevorstehen.
Since the time I became a lecturer, I have always desired to be a different and out of the ordinary academic… I have wanted to be different for my students; I have avoided things everyone does and desired to tell them that there is a real world outside that is not comparable to what the course books teach. I have advised them to think objectively and scientifically, read and assess the proper sources to reach for the truth, use their reasoning skills, and read and study much if they choose to have an academic career like I did. I have also advised them to absolutely experience abroad… As a researcher, writer, traveler… To get to know a country, introduce it, and observe the truths abou...
