Podcasts about Vilnius

In dieser Episode nehme ich euch mit nach Vilnius, in die vielleicht letzte wirklich unterschätzte Genussmetropole Europas. Noch gilt sie als Geheimtipp. Aber das dürfte sich bald ändern. Denn kulinarisch hat die Stadt viel zu bieten: Sie ist geprägt von den Aromen des Waldes, von fermentiertem und eingelegtem Gemüse, wild gewachsenen Beeren, schwerem Roggenbrot und cremiger saurer Sahne. Diese Geschmäcker spiegeln eine tiefe Verbindung zur Natur wider, die sich in der litauischen Küche deutlich zeigt – und in einer Suppe, die längst zum kulinarischen Wahrzeichen der Stadt geworden ist: der pinken Šaltibarščiai. Ich war 72 Stunden vor Ort – unterwegs durch Fine-Dining-Restaurants, über Märkte, durch Food Halls, Kellergewölbe und kleine Bäckereien. Und ich war überrascht: von der Vielfalt der Küche, der jungen, selbstbewussten Szene und vom Feingefühl, mit dem hier Vergangenheit und Gegenwart kulinarisch miteinander verschmelzen. Zusammen mit der Journalistin und Kochbuchautorin Denise Wachter, die ein Buch über die kulinarischen Geheimnisse Vilnius geschrieben hat, spreche ich über die traditionelle litauische Küche, ihre Wurzeln und die Einflüsse, die die Küche im Laufe der Zeit geprägt haben. Wir sprechen über die kreative Szene, die talentierten Küchenchefs, die internationale Akzente setzen, und darüber, was diese Stadt kulinarisch so besonders macht. Vilnius ist kein lautes Trendziel. Es flüstert. Es überrascht. Und es bleibt. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, eine Stadt zu entdecken, bevor es alle tun. Viel Spaß beim Hören

Face à l'inquiétude du désengagement américain et d'un affaiblissement de l'Otan devant la Russie, les pays baltes poursuivent la consolidation de leur défense. Après l'Estonie en première ligne du fait de sa forte minorité russophone, c'est laLituanie qui redoute une déstabilisation, voire une agression russe à la suite d'un futur cessez-le-feu en Ukraine. À Vilnius, la population civile se prépare à un éventuel conflit, notamment en installant des abris dans lesquels les habitants pourraient trouver refuge. Un reportage signé Marielle Vitureau.La traduction littéraire dans l'ère de l'intelligence artificielleAlors que l'Union européenne impose aux fournisseurs d'Intelligence artificielle de veiller au respect du droit d'auteur, au Royaume-Uni, le gouvernement envisage de permettre l'accès aux contenus artistiques et créatifs aux entreprises de nouvelles technologies. Il y aurait tout-de même, la possibilité pour chaque auteur d'y opposer une clause de non-participation. Néanmoins, le débat inquiète les professions créatives, dont la traduction littéraire fait partie. Reportage à Londres, Marie BillonKneecap remet à la mode le GaéliqueSi l'IA facilite la traduction et les échanges, elle n'efface pas la dimension culturelle, affective et même politique des langues vivantes. L'exemple de l'Irlande en témoigne : à peine 2% de la population a une pratique quotidienne du Gaélique et pourtant il est aujourd'hui en plein renouveau. L'irlandais, comme on l'appelle aussi, est d'ailleurs l'une des 27 langues officielles de l'Union européenne. Cet engouement se remarque surtout dans les arts. Kneecap, qui connait une ascension fulgurante, en est le parfait exemple, mêlant dans leurs textes anglais et irlandais. On en parle avec Clémence Pénard.L'arnaque à la cryptomonnaie toujours d'actualité en BulgarieLes cryptomonnaies ne font pas recette partout. Ces dernières ont donné lieu à de retentissantes arnaques. Depuis le début de l'année, les clients bulgares de la société Betl ne reçoivent plus leurs dividendes. En tout, 250 millions de dollars sont partis en fumée dans un scandale qui a fait 20 000 victimes. Après l'affaire Onecoin, c'est une nouvelle fraude financière à grande échelle. Une de plus dans un pays, la Bulgarie, aux prises avec une puissante mafia. À Sofia, Damian Vodenitcharov nous explique pourquoi.

On this week's episode of AvTalk, Jason joins Ian in Chicago for a face to face conversation, which also means it's a self-edited show this week. The preliminary report on the Swiftair 737 crash in Vilnius looks to human factors as investigators probe how and why one of the aircraft's hydraulic systems was shut off […] The post AvTalk Episode 315: Growth has “largely stalled” appeared first on Flightradar24 Blog.

Lietuvos universitetuose ir kolegijose stipendijas gauna tik nuo 10 iki 35 proc. visų studentų. Ir tai yra ne tik vadinamos skatinamosios stipendijos, mokamos už labai gerus ar puikus studijų rezultatus; o ir socialinės, į kurias gali pretenduoti jaunuoliai iš mažas pajamas gaunančių šeimų; vienkartinės, kurios mokamos už puikius mokymosi rezultatus net ir studijuojantiems valstybės nefinansuojamose studijų vietose; tikslinės, kurias gali gauti vadinamų valstybei prioritetinių studijų krypčių, kaip antai: kai kurių dalykų pedagogikos, slaugos ir akušerijos, policijos, energetikos, įvairių šakų inžinerijos, taip pat trūkstamų žemės ūkio studijų programų studentai, taip pat tie, kas atlieka įvairius mokslinius tyrimus ar vardinės aukštųjų mokyklų studijų stipendijos, kurias skiria tiek privatūs asmenys, tiek įmonės dažnai geriausiems studentams.Stipendijų dydžiai svyruoja nuo 60 eurų iki kelių šimtų ar ne tūkstančio eurų (vardinės, vienkartinės ir kai kurios tikslinės). Vis dėlto didžiuma studentų gauna skatinamąsias stipendijas, kurių dydis skirtingose aukštosiose mokyklose ir net fakultetuose yra skirtingas, kaip, kad ir nelygu su kokiais akademiniais rezultatais tame pačiame universitete ar kolegijoje studentams mokamos šios stipendijos. Štai vienose studijų programose skatinamąsias stipendijas gali gauti visi, kas neturi akademinių skolų ir kieno vidurkis didesnis nei 7,5 balo, o kitose net ir mokydamasis devintukais ar turėdamas vidurkį, didesnį nei 9-i balai, gali net nesvajoti apie skatinamąją stipendiją.Kiek studentų gaus skatinamąsias stipendijas, o ir koks bus jos dydis, didžia dalimi lemia patys studentai, tiksliau, jų atstovai aukštojoje mokykloje. Studentų atstovai pataria universitetų ir kolegijų administracijoms, ar geriau mokėti mažesnes stipendijas didesnei daliai studentų, ar mokėti didesnes stipendijas, bet mažesniam skaičiui studentų.Tie, kas negauna stipendijų, ieškosi darbo. O tokiu atveju dažniausiai dar labiau nukenčia jų studijų rezultatai.LRT radijo švietimo laidoje diskutuoja Klėja Merčaitytė, Vilniaus universiteto Studentų atstovybės prezidentė, Nora Skaburskienė, Vilnius tech universiteto Studijų direkcijos direktorė, Dovilė Liubinienė, Vilniaus kolegijos Studijų tarnybos vadovė, ir Mantas Simanavičius, Vytauto Didžiojo universiteto Studentų departamento vadovas.Ved.

C'était dans la nuit du 26 au 27 juillet 2003 et la nouvelle va aussitôt parcourir les 2000 kilomètres qui séparent la Lituanie de la France. L'un des rockers les plus en vue du moment, Bertrand Cantat, a laissé entre la vie et la mort, une actrice de premier plan qui dès sa naissance portait un nom célèbre, Marie Trintignant. Elle décèdera quelques jours plus tard.Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

And if this is too big of a commitment, I'm always thankful for a simple cup of coffee.]You may have missed it in the chaos of our current news environment, but this week, the bodies of four American soldiers were pulled out of a peat bog—basically a swamp—in Lithuania about a week after they went missing there while on a training mission.Last week, while a search was still underway for the missing soldiers, Trump was asked in the Oval Office by a reporter about the unfolding crisis and he responded that he didn't know anything about it.Yesterday, the bodies of the four soldiers arrived at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and were received in a ceremony known as a “dignified transfer,” which is attended by senior government officials and often the sitting president.Last night, it was reported by NBC News that instead of attending the dignified transfer to honor the deceased soldiers, Trump flew to Florida to watch a LIV Golf tournament and attend a reception being hosted at his resort.I understand many of you aren't familiar with dignified transfers and why what Trump has done here is so disgusting and unbecoming and insulting to the memories of these soldiers.During my time in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), I was honored to take part in many dignified transfers at the height of our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.So, I'll explain:The straight-line distance between Washington, D.C., and Dover, Delaware, is less than 85 miles. It takes a helicopter about 40 to 45 minutes to make the trip. I was 19 years old, and it was my first time riding a helicopter. I barely remember any of it. I was distracted.I was more nervous than I've ever been in my life about what was to come next, and so, as this Black Hawk floated above the earth with my casket team, me the youngest and most junior, I could only think: What if I mess this up? What if I fail? How will I live with myself?That's how it should be in a moment like this. You should be nervous. You should let that sharpen your focus. Because there is no room for error when handling the remains of a service member returning to the United States after they've died. You should strive for perfection.The helicopter landed, and my anxiety spiked.In retrospect, I recall noticing the silence of the rest of the casket team. These were young men, mostly early 20s, loud and boisterous and chests puffed. Now, they were quiet. It was unnerving.When you're a new enlisted soldier in an infantry unit (the FNG) you're treated like you know nothing. Because you don't. Everyone around you is older and vastly more competent and confident. Yet, in this moment, despite having done this before, they were all nervous, too. It was unsettling.We were brought into a holding area near the tarmac on Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of service members who have died in a theater of operations arrive on a C-17 transport plane. We rehearsed our steps. And did it again. And then again. No room for error.The plane arrived. The ramp was lowered. The transfer vehicle that would complete the next leg of the journey was parked. Our casket team was positioned. We were now each wearing ceremonial white cotton gloves we had held under the bathroom faucet. Damp gloves have a better grip.We're a casket team, but these are not caskets. They're transfer cases: rectangular aluminum boxes that bear a resemblance to a crate for production equipment. Yet, the dimensions are obvious. Any given civilian would take only a few moments to realize that's for carrying bodies.It's called a "dignified transfer," not a "ceremony," because officials don't want loved ones to feel obligated to be there while in mourning. But it is as highly choreographed as any ceremony, probably more so. It is done as close to perfection as anything the military does.I was positioned in formation with my casket team, and I could see the transfer cases precisely laid out, military dress-right-dress, in the cavernous space of the C-17, each draped with an American flag that had been fastened perfectly. I remember my stomach dropping.There is simply no space for other thoughts. Your full brain capacity is focused on not screwing up. The casket team steps off in crisp, exact steps toward the plane, up the ramp (please, oh God, don't slip), aside the case, lift up ceremonially, face back and down the ramp.During movement, everyone else is saluting: the plane personnel, the OIC (officer in charge), any senior NCOs (noncommissioned officers) and generals, and occasionally, the president. The family is sometimes there. No ceremonial music or talking. All silent, save for the steps of the casket team.You don't see the family during this. You're too focused. There are other distractions. Maybe they forgot, but no one told me there'd be 40-60 pounds of ice in the transfer case to prevent decomposition over the 10-hour plane ride. You can sometimes feel it sloshing around a bit.Some of the transfer cases feel slightly heavier, some slightly lighter. The weight is distributed among six bearers, so it's not a big difference. But then you carry a case that's significantly lighter, and you realize those are the only remains they were able to recover.It probably takes all of 30-40 seconds to carry the transfer case from the plane to the mortuary vehicle, but it feels like the longest walk ever each time. The case is carefully placed in the back of the mortuary vehicle, and the casket team moves away in formation.When it's over and you're on your way back to Washington, you're overcome with a mixture of intense relief that you didn't screw up and profound sobriety over what you've just done and witnessed. I wouldn't call it a good feeling. Maybe a numbed pain.From the outside, the most egalitarian place in America is a military transfer case. They all look exactly the same: an aluminum box covered with the American flag. We didn't know their names, rank, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation — none of it. All the same.Whatever cruel and unfathomable politics had brought all of us to that moment, from the killed service member in the box, to those of us carrying it, to the occasional elected official who attends to pay respects, there were no politics to be found during a dignified transfer.The fallen service members I helped receive and carry during this part of the journey to their final resting place were not "losers" or "suckers" — as Trump has infamously called them. They were selfless and heroic, and I had the honor of being among the first to hold them when they returned home.There are service members and civilians around the world involved in caring for our war fatalities: the mortuary specialists, the casket teams, the family liaisons — so many people who work to ensure that this final act is done with the greatest amount of dignity and honor, seeking perfection.I suppose the one thing we all took for granted is that dignity would always be affirmed by all our civilian leaders to those service members who gave everything. I never would have predicted any official, let alone a sitting president, would insult fallen service members.This is not to say the four American soldiers who died in Lithuania were not honored by a sitting president.On Thursday, when the bodies of the soldiers were being transported to the airport in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, thousands of people there lined the streets to pay their respects.Among them was Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, who, apparently, has more respect for our troops than our own commander-in-chief.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Two trips to two cities - Vilnius in Lithuania and Tartu in Estonia. In Vilnius, you'll discover a city where ancient history meets bohemian creativity, where mermaids cast spells from riverbanks, and where an entire neighbourhood declared itself an independent republic. Tartu is dominated by the oldest university in the Baltics and presents a uniquely preserved cultural landscape that has evolved from medieval origins to modern street art. Join me as we explore Vilnius and Tartu. Thanks for listening!

On this edition of Free City Radio we go to Lithuania and speak with Monica and Noura who work with a project to build the Palestine solidarity movement in the context of Lithuania. The group in Lithuania is called POPPIES, Palestine Action Group, Vilnius. I wanted to highlight this organizing initiative because we often hear about Palestine solidarity organizing within centres of power, protests in Paris, or New York City, but not as much in cities on the edges, in this case on the edge of the EU, in the Baltic context of Lithuania. This conversation was originally recorded in Nov. 2024. This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains. The graphic is from Justseeds.org and their ongoing Palestine solidarity graphics packages.

Mokslininkai ištyrė, kad bemiegės naktys žmones verčia laikytis didesnio socialinio atstumo ir net gali padidinti vienišumo jausmą. Plačiau apie tai naujame „Miego DNR“ epizode.Seime - siūlymas ilginti istorinių automobilių amžių. Iki šiol tokį statusą galėjo turėti automobiliai pagaminti prieš 30 metų, dabar siūloma padidinti iki 40ies. Vieni tam pritaria, kiti prieštarauja, esą reikia labiau kreipti dėmesį ne į amžių, o į istorinę vertę.Mokytojų trūkumas kasmet sukelia vis daugiau iššūkių. Vilnius ne išimtis - šiuo metu vidutinis pedagogų amžius siekia 50,5 metų. Savivaldybė kviečia pasinaudoti nemokama programa „Pradedu mokyti Vilniuje“.Mokslininkai teigia, kad vidutinis pasaulinis CO2 padidėjimas 2024 metais yra rekordinis. Kokios to padidėjimo priežastys?Vaikų teisių specialistai atkreipia dėmesį, kad tobulėjant dirbtinio intelekto įrankiams, vis didesnė grėsmė kyla vaikų saugumui. Pavojaus varpais skambina ir pedagogai. Jų teigimu, vaikai nebenori spręsti užduočių, patys priimti sprendimų ar kurti, dažniau renkasi viską patikėti dirbtiniam intelektui.Ved.Darius Matas

Agenți ruși s-au aflat în spatele incendiilor produse în mari centre comerciale din Lituania și Varșovia. Este concluzia procurorilor lituanieni, după două evenimente produse în cursul anului 2024. Anunțul vine în contextul dezvăluirilor de dată recentă potrivit cărora Rusia recrutează oameni, pe rețeaua Telegram, pentru a comite acte de sabotaj în întreaga Europă. După cum informează postul public de radio de la Varșovia, procurorii lituanieni consideră că serviciile de securitate ale Rusiei au orchestrat atacurile incendiare de anul trecut asupra unui depozit de mobilă din Vilnius și a unui mare centru comercial din Varșovia.„Aceste acte criminale au fost comise de un grup terorist înființat anterior, care urmărea să comită infracțiuni în Lituania și Letonia, alături de alte persoane”, au declarat autoritățile lituaniene într-un comunicat.Premierul polonez Donald Tusk a menționat că un cetățean ucrainean angajat de agenți ruși a încercat să dea foc și unei fabrici de vopsea din Wrocław.„Aceasta este natura acestui stat”, a scris Tusk pe rețelele de socializare, adăugând că astfel de incidente de sabotaj au fost descoperite în Polonia, Lituania și Letonia și sunt indicii privind acțiuni similare în Suedia.Tusk a anunțat anterior că nouă persoane au fost arestate în Polonia sub suspiciunea de „implicare directă în acte de sabotaj în numele serviciilor ruse”.Procuratura lituaniană a declarat că a colaborat îndeaproape cu autoritățile din Polonia și din alte țări pentru a investiga incendiul de la un mare depozit de mobilă produs la 9 mai 2024.Autoritățile poloneze au legat, de asemenea, incendierea mall-ului din Varșovia de o campanie de sabotaj mai amplă, presupus a fi orchestrată de Moscova.„Este o chestiune foarte serioasă”, a spus Tusk reporterilor, adăugând că aceasta implică mai multe națiuni europene și subliniază un model emergent de operațiuni de sabotaj susținute de Rusia în regiune.Declarațiile liderului polonez vin la câteva zile după ce șefa diplomației europene, Kaja Kallas, a acuzat Rusia că desfășoară „terorism sponsorizat de stat” împotriva Europei.O amplă investigație de presă la nivel duropean a dezvăluit recent că Rusia recrutează oameni, pe rețeaua Telegram, pentru a răspândi dezinformarea, a comite acte de sabotaj și atacuri cibernetice în toată Europa.Jurnaliştii care s-au infiltrat în aceste rețele au văzut şi au primit chiar ei solicitări de a efectua diverse acte de sabotaj, inclusiv acoperirea Cartierului European din Bruxelles cu autocolante anti-NATO sau colectarea adreselor de e-mail a 30 de jurnalişti belgieni consideraţi că simpatizează cu cauza ucraineană. Participanților li s-au promis plăți în criptomonede în schimbul sprijinului.O posibilă încetare a focului între Ucraina și Rusia nu va opri aceste tipuri de atacuri în Europa, au avertizat oficialii de securitate. Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

The Baltic Way was the event that helped secure the three Baltic States' independence from Russia 35 years ago. The idea was simple - a chain of people linking the three capital cities of Vilnius in Lithuania, Riga in Latvia and Tallinn in Estonia. It was a significant act of protest, striving for freedom against an oppressor. We will look at how it was planned and hear stories from participants. We will examine what effect it had. Thanks for listening!

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 348The Saint of the day is Saint CasimirSaint Casimir's Story Casimir, born of kings and in line to be a king himself, was filled with exceptional values and learning by a great teacher, John Dlugosz. Even his critics could not say that his conscientious objection indicated softness. As a teenager, Casimir lived a highly disciplined, even severe life, sleeping on the ground, spending a great part of the night in prayer and dedicating himself to lifelong celibacy. When nobles in Hungary became dissatisfied with their king, they prevailed upon Casimir's father, the king of Poland, to send his son to take over the country. Casimir obeyed his father, as many young men over the centuries have obeyed their governments. The army he was supposed to lead was clearly outnumbered by the “enemy”; some of his troops were deserting because they were not paid. At the advice of his officers, Casimir decided to return home. His father was irked at the failure of his plans, and confined his 15-year-old son for three months. The lad made up his mind never again to become involved in the wars of his day, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind. He returned to prayer and study, maintaining his decision to remain celibate even under pressure to marry the emperor's daughter. He reigned briefly as king of Poland during his father's absence. He died of lung trouble at 25 while visiting Lithuania, of which he was also Grand Duke. He was buried in Vilnius, Lithuania. Reflection For many years, Poland and Lithuania faded into the gray prison on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Despite repression, the Poles and Lithuanians remained firm in the faith which has become synonymous with their name. Their youthful patron reminds us: Peace is not won by war; sometimes a comfortable peace is not even won by virtue, but Christ's peace can penetrate every government repression of religion.

Et c'est toute l'Europe qui se retrouve dans la peur. Au nord : les trois pays baltes, Lituanie, Lettonie et Estonie ont une longue frontière avec la Russie et la Biélorussie.

Et depuis l'offensive russe de 2022, les trois frontières se blindent. Mais comment les Baltes vivent-ils cette situation ?

In 2020, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya led the largest popular uprising in the history of Belarus, defeating authoritarian dictator Alexander Lukashenko in a landslide victory before being chased out of the country. Today, she leads Belarus' democratic alternative government in exile. We sat down in Vilnius to discuss the Ukraine war, and the outlook for a democratic revolution in Europe's last dictatorship.

Historic quarters in cities and towns across the middle of Europe were devastated during the Second World War—some, like those of Warsaw and Frankfurt, had to be rebuilt almost completely. They are now centers of peace and civility that attract millions of tourists, but the stories they tell about places, peoples, and nations are selective. They are never the whole story. These old towns and their turbulent histories have been key sites in Europe's ongoing theater of politics and war. Exploring seven old towns, from Frankfurt and Prague to Vilnius in Lithuania, the acclaimed writer Marek Kohn examines how they have been used since the Second World War to conceal political tensions and reinforce certain versions of history. Uncovering hidden stories behind these old and old-seeming façades in The Stories Old Towns Tell: A Journey through Cities at the Heart of Europe (Yale University Press, 2023), Dr. Kohn offers us a new understanding of the politics of European history-making—showing how our visits to old towns could promote belonging over exclusion, and empathy over indifference. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Nous devions nous croiser au moment de la Saison lituanienne en France. Mais comme y a plus de saison ma p'tite dame, Mūza Rubackytė et ESM, c'est maintenant et en tournée en France, en Lituanie, à Porto Rico… 2025 sera lyrique. Pour cette artiste totale, Née sous un piano (c'est le titre de son autobiographie), le mouvement est son mantra.  Mouvement d'une enfant surdouée, auréolée à 13 ans d'une grande victoire au concours All union récompensant les meilleurs pianistes d'Union soviétique, mouvement irrésistible pour la musique (de Franz Liszt, Godowsky, Chostakovitch) mouvement d'engagement pour la révolution lituanienne.Mouvement d'une soliste internationale en mission vers un au-delà musical qui n'empêche nullement les pieds sur terre : présidente de la société LISZTuania, marraine de la maison Debussy en France, Mūza Rubackytė exulte, transmet, voyage. Le regard vert entouré de taches de rousseur dit à peine la force de ce petit soldat mystique qui, entre Vilnius, Genève et Paris, nourrit un grand rêve européen pour sa Lituanie éternelle. 

It is the NATO frontline, but three years after the invasion of Ukraine, Lithuanians worry their country could be next.

Panellists: • Eugenijus Sabutis, Minister of Transport and Communications and Member of the Seimas for the Social Democrat • Ingrida Šimonytė, Former Prime Minister and Member of the Seimas for the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats • Ignas Vėgėlė, Former Presidential Candidate and Member of the Seimas for Farmers and Greens Union • Andrius Tapinas, Journalist, Author and Founder of Freedom TV Presented by Jonny Dymond Producer: Charlie Taylor

Deux ans après le tremblement de terre qui a fait 54 000 morts et plus de 100 000 blessés, les victimes attendent toujours des réponses, des condamnations, des indemnisations ! La lenteur des procès est une chose. Mais les rescapés dénoncent surtout le manque de transparence des enquêtes et le très petit nombre de responsables publics sur le banc des accusés. Il s'agit aussi d'éviter que les mêmes erreurs se répètent à l'avenir. Reportage de notre correspondante à Ankara, Anne Andlauer.
