The "DİPLOMAT" team
is very happy right now.
We were frankly delighted with warm welcome which the
first edition of "DİPLOMAT" received from
diplomatic community. Both the content of the magazine and
its visual quality were widely appreciated. The number of
subscribers is now increasing slowly day by day, and
offers of co-operation are coming in from various
embassies. In the months ahead, we will be including more
analyses of international affairs by different
commentators.
The first edition of "DİPLOMAT" contained an
interview with the doyen of the corps diplomatique, Ambassador of
the State of Palestine to Ankara Fouad Yaseen. This month,
you will be able to read the views both of Ambassador
Jonuz Begaj of Albania, one of the important states of the
Balkans, and of Ambassador Kaldone Nweihed, one of the
world's most important oil states.
Many more interesting articles are to be found within
these pages. Among those interested in arts and culture,
an article about Yalçın Gökçebağ - one of the most popular
modern Turkish painters - will, I think, attract
particular attention.
It is a special pleasure for us to be able to report on
the wide-ranging activities of the embassies in Ankara and
to publicise them for the benefit of our other readers.
Naturally, we can only report on these activities if we
hear about them in time. We would therefore very much
welcome any and all information which embassies are able
to provide.
Meanwhile, it seems the winter has come to Ankara. Winters
in Ankara are cold but when it snows they can be
beautiful. Enjoy it and take care.
