On Thursday, Turkey's prime minister gets an historic truce agreement from the jailed Kurdish rebel leader. On Friday, Recep Tayip Erdogan accepts Israel's apology of Israel over the 2010 sinking of a flotilla bound for Gaza. Two separate stories... but is there a common thread when it comes to Syria?

Yesterday, Saturday night, I

by Tanyasweden - 24/03/2013 - 11:54

Yesterday, Saturday night, I watched the discussion on The World this week. I have to say that it was literally embarrassing how Mr.Copetas got out of all possible boundaries for journalist ethics while he was trying to defend the Russian money on Cyprus. Mr.Copetas dominated the discussion completely, everyone who tried to say something just had no chance...well, embarrassing, is The word.
Generally speaking, I doubt if Mr.Copetas presence at EVERY single emission of this programme is a good thing. His style is often way too brutal, dominating and often extremely subjective for a journalist.
