Cases of Plagiarism in Turkey

[ICTP info point]

Dear Colleagues:

You may be already aware of a massive case of plagiarism uncovered 
recently in Turkey. You can find the details by linking to

This news will no doubt be as disconcerting to you as it is to me. 
Plagiarism is not the bane of any one country or culture. Our Centre,
because of the diverse backgrounds of its community, must be especially 
conscious of this blight and eschew it at all costs.

With best wishes,
