ISLAMABAD Telvin Smith Youth Jersey , Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Tuesday announced 20 million U.S. dollars of assistance for the rehabilitation of the people displaced as the result of military operation in the North Waziristan tribal region.

Officials say that nearly 1 million people were uprooted after the security forces launched a major offensive against the Taliban and other militant groups in the region.

The government has planned to start phased repatriation of the temporarily displaced persons (TDPs) next month. The process will take one year to complete, officials say.

The authorities have previously estimated that 1.4 billion dollars will be needed initially for the repatriation and rehabilitation of the TDPs.

The Turkish prime minister, speaking at a joint press conference along with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad, said his country will extend 20 million dollars for the displaced persons.

The two prime ministers also condemned the misuse of the media to defame religion.

"We decided we will not allow any attempt to vilify Islam and justify sacrilegious cartoons in the name of freedom of expression, " said the Pakistani prime minister, noting they met in the backdrop of the Paris attack and its aftermath.

Ahmet Davutoglu lauded Pakistan's efforts to establish peace and stability in Afghanistan as peace and stability in Afghanistan is peace and stability in Turkey and Pakistan. He also appreciated Pakistan's efforts to improve its relations with India.

The two sides held official talks and discussed ways and means to enhance cooperation in diverse fields including economy, trade, energy, communications, education, culture and tourism.

They signed 11 addition agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) to strengthen their relations in different areas. Both the prime ministers witnessed the signing ceremony.

Nawaz Sharif hoped that Pakistan and Turkey will soon finalize a free trade agreement to further enhance trade and economic activities. He urged to establish better transportation links between the two countries.

The Turkish prime minister also held a meeting with Pakistan army chief General Raheel Sharif, during which the two discussed " matters related to regional security and bilateral security and defense cooperation and collaboration between two brotherly countries."

The military said the Turkish prime minister appreciated the successes achieved by Pakistan in the operation in the ongoing military offensive in North Waziristan.

"We stand by our brothers. Pakistan's security is Turkish security and Pakistan's flag is Turkish flag," an army statement quoted the Turkish prime minister as saying.

The Beatles - that is, a version of the Liverpool band that broke up more than 40 years ago - are back on Broadway, sending theater audiences dancing into the aisles and proving it's not just Paul McCartney who still believes in ""Yesterday.""

""Let it Be,"" a concert-style celebration of the music of the Fab Four that opened in New York this week, is the latest stage show to take fans old and new back to the Beatlemania of the 1960s even as surviving members McCartney and drummer Ringo Starr perform and tour the world in their own right.

Unlike the Abba stage show ""Mamma Mia!"" or Green Day's ""American Idiot"" that string a plot around well-known hits, ""Let It Be"" simply features young look-alikes for McCartney, Starr and the late John Lennon and George Harrison who play and sing Beatles songs live as if the audience were attending a 1960s era concert.

""It's not a musical and it's not just a concert. It's somewhere between those things,"" director and musical supervisor John Maher told Reuters.

The band performs some 40 hits each night in roughly chronological order from The Beatles' last show at Liverpool's Cavern Club to their final live concert on a London rooftop in January 1969.

Attention is given to detail, including how the band members stood while performing, as well as their Liverpool accents, changing looks, mannerisms and hairstyles. Screens in the theater show original newsreels and some psychedelic video projections.

""If we don't get the authenticity right, the evening doesn't succeed as a concert or a theatrical event. When people walk out, if all we have done is play the songs really well, it doesn't take people to the same place than if we make them believe, just for a second or two, that they are watching the real deal,"" Maher added.

PLEASE PLEASE ME

The show is not endorsed by either The Beatles or their Apple Corps Ltd company. (Copyright to most of the songs is held by SonyATV.) Only the Cirque du Soleil acrobatic spectacle ""Love,"" which has been playing in Las Vegas since 2006, has that distinction.

Audiences don't seem to mind. On a recent night, baby boomers and 20-somethings alike sang along loudly, got to their feet and danced, and screamed with appreciation.

""Let It Be"" arrives on Broadway after mixed reviews in London. It follows a similar tribute show, ""Rain,"" in 2010-2011, and the 1970s Broadway show ""Beatlemania,"" which is still touring.

Maher says the music remains so strong and well-known internationally that there is room for another production. Record label EMI estimates that The Beatles have sold more than one billion units worldwide since they formed in 1960 and disbanded in 1970.

Musician and author Jonathan Gould hasn't seen the Broadway show but said the music of the Fab Four appears to be more popular now than 20 years ago and has been embraced by new generations.

""It is like listening to Mozart or Beethoven or Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington. All those cliches about it being somewhat timeless have some relevance now, and I think people can just give themselves over to it,"" said Gould, author of the 2007 book ""Can't Buy Me Love"" abo.
