A British court ruled on Tuesday that Turkey’s Çukurova Group must pay $1.57 billion to Russian telecom firm Altimo in 60 days to recover Turkcell shares appropriated for a defaulted loan. The British Privy Council’s rule opens the way to end an eight-year dispute between major shareholders, yet it is unclear how the financially troubled Çukurova is going to find this amount of money in two months. In May, Turkey’s Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) seized more than 10 companies belonging to Çukurova’s owner Mehmet Emin Karamehmet, citing Çukurova’s bleak financial record and its inability to pay its heavy debt to the TMSF in the foreseeable future.

Washington -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture has selected New York as one of four states that will be allowed to test Greek yogurt as a meat alternative in subsidized school lunches this fall. Beginning in September, the USDA will allow the protein-rich yogurt to be served in federal school lunch programs in New York, Arizona, Idaho and Tennessee, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said today. The selection of the four states for the pilot program follows a USDA decision in January that allowed Greek yogurt to be classified as a protein in the federal school lunch program. Greek yogurt has about twice the protein of regular yogurt.
