Making Turkish Coffee and history
How To Make Perfect Turkish Coffee, and Its Social Importance ...
It was like that in the past, when coffeehouses were the place to meet the fellow countrymen and have a conversation about politics, religion, social and even scientific matters.
But even today, almost 500 years after coffee was first introduced in Turkey, it still fulfills an important role in Turkish social life. Learn why it still takes such a prominent role in Turkish society. And most importantly, learn how to make, serve and drink the flavor-rich, strong yet healthy Turkish pride.
Social Importance of Turkish CoffeeTraditionally, when a man was about to marry a woman, his parents would ask the permission of her parents by visiting the future wife’s house. The bride-to-be was supposed to serve the guests the best Turkish coffee she can — a test to show her skills. Today many people simple decide to get married and announce it to their parents. Yet, the traditional ceremony with the coffee treat is very rarely skipped.

Turkey's arresting machine gone mad
--> A friend of mine is a lawyer at the Istanbul Bar Association. He is Kurdish but not a Kurdish nationalist. He is religiously conservative but also politically liberal. And, most importantly, he is a very honest man.“Turkey’s legal system is simply scandalous,” he said to me over coffee a few weeks ago. And then he explained: “Both prosecutors and judges love arresting people. I have seen judges who said, ‘Well, let me put the suspect in jail first, and I will think about it later.’ Then, after many months, the judge thinks, ‘Since I put the man in jail for so long, it will be bizarre not to give him a sentence.’ Then the poor suspect gets sentenced for nothing!”
Such episodes are perhaps the most evil manifestations of Turkey’s arresting machine, but its mundane results are also terrible. According to the figures given by the Human Rights Association (of Turkey), 42 percent of all the 128,000 inmates in Turkish prisons are not convicts but arrested
