More than a year after a failed military coup against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, hundreds of Turks are seeking refuge in Greece — despite long rivalries between the two nations.

When Turkish children head back to school, something will be missing from their textbooks: any mention of evolution. The government is phasing in what it calls a values-based curriculum.

Turkey and Germany have been close allies — around 3 million Turks live in Germany. But in recent months a rift has developed, and it's complicated by Turkey's ongoing purge following a failed coup.

A year after the failed coup, President Erdogan honored the civilians who died resisting the effort to overthrow his government. "We will not forget, (and) will not let it be forgotten," he said.

European election observers said in preliminary findings that Sunday's referendum "took place on an unlevel playing field." The nationwide vote vastly expands presidential powers.

For the second time this month, the Turkish president compared a European Union ally's government to that of Nazi Germany.
