UEFA has announced it's hitting Turkish player Merih Demiral with a two-game suspension after a controversial celebration at Euro 2024 and the diplomatic row it sparked.

Turkey earned their first three points at Euro 2024 after beating Georgia 3-1 at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion in a heartstopping game that stayed undecided till the end. In one of the liveliest first halves of the tournament, Vincenzo Montella's Turkish side took the lead with an amazing early goal by Mert Müldür. But that was quickly equalised by Georgia's Georges Mikautadze, who brilliantly took advantage of a good opportunity in the box. Turkey came on top again in the second half with Real Madrid's Arda Güler but had to face strenuous opposition by the debuting Caucasian side, which kept pu...

A Turkish official has added fresh fuel to the fire over the Parthenon Marbles debate, questioning the existence of proof long cited by Britain that it had legally acquired the 2,500-year-old sculptures taken from the Acropolis in Athens. Also known as the Elgin Marbles, the sculptures were removed in the early 19th century by Lord Elgin, Britain’s ambassador to the Ottoman Empire which ruled Greece at the time. Much to Greece’s chagrin, they are currently housed in the British Museum in London. The museum argues that Elgin’s removal of the sculptures was legal, citing an imperial edict, or ‘f...

Just a year ago, a summit meeting of the leaders of Turkey and Greece would have created sensational news. But when President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hosted Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Ankara this week, it was almost a routine talk between neighbours. The meeting was their fourth in 10 months as the two leaders try to put an end to decades of mutual animosity by focusing on trade, tourism, energy and repairing cultural ties, among other areas. “In the critical area of migration, the cooperation between our two countries and especially between the police and the coast guard is paying off...
