EDITORIAL

Watch out for the spillover effect The Turkish presidential race kicked off yesterday and the days until May 16 are extremely crucial for our eastern neighbors - but not just for them. The possible candidacy of the country's Islamic-leaning Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the country's top job, combined with pressure for the creation of an independent Kurdish state on the country's eastern border, have tilted Turkey onto a potentially dangerous, transitional track.

COMMENTARY

Sine cura Demades, an Athenian orator who took the side of Philip of Macedon (although he was later put to death for treason by Cassander), was a bitter enemy of Demosthenes. When Demosthenes, who was accused of accepting a bribe by Harpalus, a boyhood friend of Alexander the Great, remained silent over the charges, Demades went on to accuse him of feeling bribery-induced guilt.
