Facts about Iraq

When we look to the world, we see lots of things which are happening. Lots of people are died and still continue to die because of wars for getting the power.

Sometimes, the problems we have in the life become meaningless when we think these people life's. People in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Africa they are sacrificed.

Shell company signed a new agreement for 4 billion dollars with Iraq. Iraq and Shell will share this money for %50. I really hope that at least %10 this money will be spent for people who live in misery.

Praying

Selimiye Mosque Dome (Edirne)

Here is the translation of the main pray of Islam Religion.

In Turkey, people speaks turkish, and most of them don't know arab.
So, it seems me very strange that, people pray in a knowledge that they don't understand.
People generally memorize the prays, and forgot their sense.

Christians also were praying in latin in the middle age. I don't know if this thing (to pray in a language that we don't understand) still continues in europe countries except Vatican.

When I was in France, I saw the fathers who pray in latin but they were not accepted by the church,and they could only make their ceremonies at the garden of the church.

So, the prays, when we don't understand them, I think they are like magic words, for sure it make us feel the spiritual atmosphere;but, I think that, they are useless if we don't understand.

After the republic of Turkey, Ataturk changed lots of things. Turks started to use latin alphabet in place of arab alphabet that they were using since 8th-9th century.

The call for prays (ezan) began to be made in turkish.

We don't know, if Ataturk wanted to do same thing for prays also.

But, after 1940; the call for prays became one more time arab.

Searching a job

Last thursday, 4th september , I returned to Istanbul.

I can say my adventure of Europe finished. If I wanted, I could find a job in Europe, but the conditions made me choose Turkey (familly, friends etc). There wasn't so much thing which motivated me to stay in France.

Now, I want to find a good place to work here. Generally, firms want to recrute people who completed its military service, so finding a job in this condition it is harder.

The military service in Turkey it is obligatory, and it is not possible to refuse it. It takes 6 month or 1 year, the duration depends on the need of army.
