"Following the #1492 expulsion of #Jews from the #IberianPeninsula, a new #Sephardic #diaspora came into being, predominantly settling in the lands of the vast #OttomanEmpire, which stretched to the #Balkans. Many settled in the #Mediterranean port city of #Thessaloniki (also known as #Salonica or #Saloniki). By the 1519 #Ottoman census, #Jews accounted for 54% of the city’s total population, making it the largest Jewish community in the world, and the only major European city with a majority Jewish population. It soon came to be known as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans” and for centuries was a predominantly Jewish city."

"We can better understand the persistence and the durability of saturating hegemonic systems like culture when we realize that their internal constraints upon writers and thinkers were productive, not unilaterally inhibiting."

Turkish tourism on the rise on the Greek island of Lesbos.

The turquoise waters and cosy towns of the Greek Aegean island of Lesbos are luring Turkish tourists, who go down well with their hosts.

But can tourism improve the fraught relations between the two countries?

Suleiman ruled with brilliance and brutality—falling for a concubine, killing his own son, betraying his best friend. He built an empire of gold, but left a trail of blood.
