The consequences of nuclear war would be devastating. Much more should and can be done to reduce the risk that humanity will ever fight such a war.

The shockwave and heat that the detonation of a single nuclear weapon creates can end the lives of millions of people immediately. But even larger is the devastation that would follow a nuclear war.

The first reason for this is nuclear fallout. Radioactive dust from the detonating bombs rises up into the atmosphere and spreads out over large areas of the world from where it falls down and causes deadly levels of radiation.

Combating counterfeiting and piracy is an important but challenging task that cannot be accomplished in isolation. Protection of IPR should not solely remain as a priority of state authorities but needs to be considered as a goal shared broadly by all sectors of society. As a result, public officials, international governmental organizations, industry and even consumers need to work together more closely to develop more creative and effective methods to fight this economic and societal problem.

Turkey has become a source for counterfeit products, especially designer fashion.Turkey is the third largest exporter of counterfeit products to the EU, after China and Hong Kong (based on seizure value). Turkey is involved in the manufacturing and sales of both genuine and counterfeit goods, in addition to being an important transportation hub.
