★ Liz Cookman wrote in the Foreign Policy magazine that in 2022, a dismal economy, climate disasters, and political headaches are likely to persist in Turkey.
Ms. Cookman points out that for Turkey 2021 was a year marked by its plummeting currency, soaring inflation, and destructive climate change events.
She also writes that the terrible year has fueled the steady erosion of confidence in Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's leadership. She blames the economic woes of Turkey to Mr. Erdoğan's meddling in Turkey's central bank.
She says that economic troubles made the Turkish president mend ties ways with nations that were old foes.
Ms. Cookman adds that few Mediterranean countries have been hit harder by climate change than Turkey, yet the government has to make any specific moves to protect the environment from further damage.
Liz Cookman is a freelance journalist based in Istanbul covering Turkey, Syria, and the wider Middle East.

★ On January 7, a Turkish court released Boğaziçi University students Berke Gök and Caner Perit Özen. They were jailed in October for attending protests against the government-appointed president to the university.
The court ruled to place the two students under judicial control.
During the hearing on January 7, Özen said that his imprisonment was "political" and had a purpose of "intimidation."
After the appointment of Prof. Dr. Melih Bulu as the president by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in January 2020, the university's students launched a protest demanding his resignation.
Following months-long protest, Dr. Bulu was eventually dismissed from his duty by Erdoğan in July. A month later in August, again via a presidential decree, it was Prof. Naci İnci who assumed duty as the president of the prestigious institution despite the high disapproval rates he received on polls held among the community.
Students and academics at the university would like to choose a president with an election.

★ A Turkish court has ordered the state to pay compensation to four members of the Academics for Peace. The members of the group have been dismissed from their university jobs through statutory decrees after signing a 2016 petition named "We will not be a party to this crime!" the daily Duvar reported.
The ruling Justice and Development Party administration considered signing the petition a propaganda for a terrorist organization. Over 1,000 academics signed the petition to urge the government to cease its military operations in the country's Kurdish majority southeast, where days-long curfews and military conflict devastated locals.

This translates to an annual inflation rate of 36%. Authorities also said food prices rose 44% in 2021.
Independent experts say that the actual figures are much higher. Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality calculated the inflation rate to be 50% recently.
Many blame the president for the skyrocketing prices. Turkey has been struggling to prop up the lira's value for several years. However, the crisis has escalated since September, when Erdoğan pushed the central bank to start cutting interest rates.

★ One of the ways to get rid of the depression caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been turning our lives upside down for two years, is to devote ourselves to art, writes Faruk Şüyün, the arts editor of Turkish daily Dünya. Turkish artist Dilek Uzunoğlu Örs chose this path and returned to painting after some years of hiatus.
The artist's paintings will be available for artlovers at St. Anthony Church in Beyoglu, Istanbul in February, at ArtAnkara in March, and at Artcontact in Istanbul in May.
"It felt good to transfer my ever-changing feelings to the canvas. I believe that in my exhibition, visitors will witness the outbursts of emotions I experienced during the pandemic and maybe find pieces of themselves," Ms. Örs said about her paintings.

★ Deutsche Welle reports that Turkish serialized TV dramas are breaking ratings records all over the world, from Pakistan to Chile.
Deutsche Welle on Saturday published a video of their talks with two actors, producers, and fans to find out what makes them so successful.
There are some critics though. They point out that the government-backed productions falsify history to serve the ruling Justice and Development Party objectives. The dramas such as Ertuğrul and the last emperor glorify the Ottoman Empire and Islam while defaming religious minorities and undermining democracy.
Turkey is currently the second biggest exporter of films after Hollywood. In the next two years, their sales is expected to reach over $1 billion.

★ According to Associated Press, Christians around the world on Thursday marked Epiphany, known as Three Kings Day for Catholics and the Baptism of Christ for the Orthodox, with a series of celebrations.
In Istanbul, the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, held an Epiphany Mass before leading a traditional Blessing of the Waters ceremony during which swimmers competed to retrieve a floating cross thrown into the sea.
Bartholomew, who recently recovered from COVID-19 and underwent heart surgery in November, threw a wooden cross into the Golden Horn, before 10 men jumped into the waterway to retrieve it. Members of Istanbul's small Greek Orthodox community, wearing masks, looked on.
This year, the cross was recovered by 36-year-old Galip Yavuz, who said it was his fifth attempt at retrieving it.
Bartholomew is considered first among equals among Orthodox patriarchs, although only a few thousand Greeks now live in Turkey. He also directly controls several Greek Orthodox churches around the world, including the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

★ Speaking of Orthodox Church, the world's only church made of prefabricated cast iron turned 124 years old, reports the TRT.
The Bulgarian St. Stephen Church is in Istanbul. It remains under the auspices of the Bulgarian Exarchate Orthodox Churches Foundation. It continues to be one of the most prominent symbols of the Bulgarian Orthodox faith.
The iron frame oxidized and started to decay over time. Restoration efforts started in 2011 to protect and save this structure.
