Turkey sentences Wall Street Journal reporter to more than two years in prison

October 11, 2017 By administrator

A court in Turkey has sentenced a Wall Street Journal reporter to more than two years in prison on terrorism charges over an article, the newspaper said in a statement Tuesday, in a case that highlighted the Turkish government’s escalating clampdown on press freedoms, The Washington Post reported.

The reporter, Ayla Albayrak, was in New York at the time of the sentencing and planned to appeal the decision, the Journal said.

The charges against Albayrak, a dual citizen of Turkey and Finland, stemmed from an article that she wrote two years ago on Turkey’s ongoing war with Kurdish militants, the Journal statement said.

“The sole purpose of the article was to provide objective and independent reporting on events in Turkey, and it succeeded,” said Gerard Baker, editor in chief of the Journal, according to the statement. “This was an unfounded criminal charge and wildly inappropriate conviction that wrongly singled out a balanced Wall Street Journal report.”

The source reminds that the sentence appeared certain to aggravate the ongoing dispute between Turkey and the United States. The feud burst into public view Sunday, when the U.S. Embassy in Ankara announced that it was suspending the issuing of nonimmigrant visas at its missions in Turkey. The move was taken in response to Turkey’s arrest this month of the consulate employee, Metin Topuz, on espionage charges.

Turkey retaliated by quickly announcing an almost identical visa suspension. Erdogan, speaking in Belgrade, Serbia, weighed in on the dispute Tuesday, saying that “the offender in this problem is the United States of America itself.”

February 13, 2017 By administrator

According to a report published by SCImago database, Armenia is ranked 65th globally among a total of 239 countries and territories, with an h-index of 135.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.

The h-index is a metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of publications of a scientist or scholar. It’s based on the set of the scientist’s most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications.

According to the 2015 SCImago Journal and Country Rank, Armenia leaves behind Georgia in the 79th position, as well as Azerbaijan in the 125th spot.

Also, the country is the fifth among former Soviet states, lagging behind Russia (22nd place), Ukraine (47), Estonia (50) and Lithuania (60).

Meanwhile, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany top the list with the most publications and citations, while Turkey and Iran come in the 37th and 42nd, respectively.
