Word has it that one neighbor finally found a new job and another started a new career. Even die-hard Republicans have high hopes...
...Ankara's changed orientation is not without its detractors. Secularist Turks, worried about what they see as Erdogan's Islamicizing agenda, accuse the government of pulling away from the West and abandoning its E.U. membership drive, pointing to controversial decisions like Ankara's hosting of Hamas leader Khaled Meshal in 2006 as proof...
