  • Google and the World Monuments Fund Highlight Iraqi Heritage Under
    AiA Art News-service Google and the World Monuments Fund highlight Iraqi heritage under threat Using drone footage, 3D models and videos, the tech giant is working with cultural institutions to make preservation efforts accessible to a larger public HELEN STOILAS 6th June 2018 05:20 GMT Scorched vehicles at the foot of the destroyed Al-Hadba' Minaret in Mosul, Iraq Courtesy of the World Monuments Fund The World Monuments Fund (WMF) in New York has partnered with the tech giant Google on a series of online exhibitions and stories that highlight efforts to preserve Iraq’s built heritage. Launched on the Google Arts & Culture platform today, the project includes drone footage of ancient sites and structures like the ziggurat in Borsippa and the Archway of Ctesiphon, 3D models of now lost architecture, like Babylon’s famous Ishtar Gate, and documentation of sites that have been damaged or destroyed by Isis, including Nimrud, Hatra and Mosul. Working with Google “allows us to reach a wider audience and enables us to tell a richer story by virtue of the technology assistance they provide,” says Lisa Ackerman, the executive vice president and COO of World Monuments Fund. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity to share knowledge with others, and it helps the public understand more fully why places matter and how they are connected to cultural identity. Given the turmoil of the last decade in the Middle East and the violence that is still evident in so many places, the platform is a reminder that the news we read connects to people and places living near those sites.” Among the most dramatic stories on the site is the destruction of the Al-Hadba' Minaret and the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul by the Islamic State during its occupation of the city.

  • La Turquie Espère Dépasser Ses Objectifs De Croissance Pour 2006
    ANSA MED News (Turkey) – SEPTEMBER 2013 'Turkish mozart' sentenced for blasphemy in retrial Fazil Say gets 10 months in jail for Twitter comments on Islam (ANSAmed) - ANKARA, SEPTEMBER 20 - Ten months in jail is the 'price' to pay for publicly making light of Islam on Twitter in today's Turkey under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who the opposition say is trying to 're- Islamicise' the country. An Istanbul court sentenced world-renowned composer Fazil Say, known as the 'Turkish Mozart' in Germany, to ten months detention on Friday. The ruling has raised fresh alarm over freedom of expression in Turkey after the crackdown on the large, peaceful anti-Erdogan Gezi Park protests in June. Fazil Say, 43, will not be going to jail - or at least not for the time being. Since the composer has never before been convicted of a crime, the Istanbul court handed down a suspended sentence: thus he will not be serving any time so long as he does not commit any further crimes over the next two years. The 'Turkish Mozart' - openly atheist, leftist and anti-Erdogan - was sentenced for ''insulting religious values'' after commenting jokingly on Twitter about the haste of a Istanbul mosque muezzin, whose call to prayer only lasted 22 seconds, and questioning whether he was in a rush to reunite with his lover or go to a raki (anise-flavoured alcoholic drink popular in Turkey) table. He also tweeted verses by 11th-century poet Omar Khayyam on the 'Muslim paradise': ''You say rivers of wine flow in heaven, is heaven a tavern to you? You say two huris (virgins) await each believer there, is heaven a brothel to you?''.
