Given the imminence of Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, Turkey’s recent rapprochement with Iran is causing concern among some Western analysts. Turkey has announced that it has taken Iran off the list of threats to its national security, and it is developing a working relationship with the mullahs on strategic issues.In possibly unrelated news from Turkey, a known polygamist has been appointed as an advisor to the Turkish government.
In other news, DNA tests using genetic material from Adolf Hitler’s living relatives have determined that the late Führer of the Third Reich had either Berber blood from North Africa, or Ashkenazi Jewish blood, or possibly both.

Actually, Haplogroup E1b1b (I'm presuming subclade E1b1b1 [E-M35], but I'm not sure about that) is found in 25% of Greek and Sicilian men as was included in the original article in Dutch (in "Knack"). So, Hitler having Berber or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors is by no means 100% certain based on this Y-chromosome test. (Although, Ashkenazi Jewish does seem like a likely scenario to me.)
