« Une catastrophe nationale ». C'est ainsi que le président turc qualifie la tendance de ses compatriotes à faire de moins en moins d'enfants. Une « catastrophe », mais aussi un échec pour Recep Tayyip Erdogan, qui depuis plus de 15 ans appelle les Turcs à faire au moins trois enfants, et même quatre ou cinq si possible. Le chef de l'État, qui a décrété l'année 2025 « année de la famille », a annoncé le 16 juillet de nouvelles mesures pour relancer la natalité. Mais les Turcs ne l'entendent pas de cette oreille et la chute du pouvoir d'achat de ces dernières années y est pour quelque chose. De notre correspondante à Ankara, Ayçen et Zeliha sont amies d'enfance. Elles ont grandi à Ankara, non loin du parc où elles emmènent désormais leurs enfants, un enfant chacune. Ayçen est mère au foyer. Zeliha, employée de banque. Elles ont 32 et 33 ans, mais aucune n'a envie d'agrandir sa famille. « Ma fille va dans une école privée dont les frais de scolarité ont explosé. Mon but, c'est de donner les meilleures chances à mon enfant. Avec un, c'est déjà difficile », confie Ayçen. « La première raison, c'est l'économie. La deuxième, c'est que je travaille et que je n'ai pas de solution de garde. Si l'État apportait un réel soutien financier ou si on me laissait travailler à mi-temps, j'aurais peut-être un deuxième enfant », abonde Zeliha. L'enfant unique est en train de devenir une banalité en Turquie. L'indice de fécondité – le nombre moyen d'enfants par femme – est aujourd'hui de 1,5 contre 2,4 en 2001. Nombreuses en sont les raisons : l'urbanisation, la hausse du niveau d'études des femmes – donc l'âge de plus en plus tardif de la première grossesse, 27 ans actuellement -. La Turquie n'est pas différente des autres pays développés qui enregistrent une baisse de l'indice de fécondité. Ce qui est frappant, c'est l'accélération des dernières années. Elle a pris de court les autorités, autant que les démographes. Sutay Yavuz est professeur à l'Université des sciences sociales d'Ankara. Les conditions économiques – l'inflation à deux chiffres depuis maintenant huit ans – sont décisives, selon lui. Notamment dans le choix des jeunes couples : « Autrefois, il y avait une norme non écrite et étonnamment stable, qui voyait le premier enfant arriver en moyenne 22 mois après le mariage. Cette durée est désormais de plus en plus longue. On voit que les jeunes couples attendent de plus en plus pour avoir un enfant, et que ceux qui en ont un attendent de plus en plus pour en avoir un deuxième, ou bien y renoncent. C'est clairement lié au climat inflationniste des dernières années et à la conviction, chez ces couples, que la situation ne va pas s'améliorer. » En cette année dite « de la famille », le gouvernement multiplie les mesures pro-natalité. Les familles de deux enfants bénéficient depuis quelques mois d'une aide mensuelle de 1 500 livres, portée à 6 500 livres – soit un quart du salaire minimum brut – pour un troisième enfant. Récemment, le président Recep Tayyip Erdogan a annoncé que les fonctionnaires pourraient travailler à mi-temps jusqu'à l'entrée de leurs enfants à l'école primaire. Mais les ONG féministes s'inquiètent. « Ces politiques ont pour but affiché d'augmenter la population, de réduire les divorces. Ils auraient mieux fait de décréter 2025 « année de lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes ». Car c'est malheureusement au sein de la famille qu'elles subissent le plus de violences et qu'elles meurent le plus », dénonce l'avocate Özlem Günel Teksen, membre de la plateforme ESIK. Sur les six premiers mois de l'année, au moins 136 femmes ont été tuées en Turquie. Près de la moitié par leur mari ou leur ancien mari, et un quart par un autre membre de leur famille.

Azerbaijan is increasingly engaging in tit-for-tat actions towards powerful neighbour Russia amid escalating tensions in the South Caucasus region. This comes as Baku deepens its military cooperation with long-standing ally Turkey. In a highly publicised move, Azerbaijani security forces in Baku recently paraded seven arrested Russian journalists – working for the Russian state-funded Sputnik news agency – in front of the media. Their detentions followed the deaths last month of two Azerbaijani nationals in Russian custody, which sparked public outrage in Baku. "That was quite shocking for Baku, for Azerbaijani society – the cruelty of the behaviour and the large-scale violence," Zaur Gasimov of the German Academic Exchange Service, a professor and expert on Azerbaijani-Russian relations told RFI. "And the Russian-wide persecution of the leaders of Azerbaijani diasporic organisations took place (this month)," he added. Tit-for-tat tactics Tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan have been simmering since December, when Russian air defences accidentally downed an Azerbaijani passenger aircraft. Baku strongly condemned Moscow's lack of an official apology. The deaths in custody, which Moscow insisted were from natural causes, and the broader crackdown on Azerbaijan's diaspora are being interpreted in Baku as deliberate signals. "This kind of news had to frighten Azerbaijani society, which is aware of the fact that around two million ethnic Azeris with Azerbaijani and Russian passports are living in the Russian Federation," explained Gasimov. "So the signal is that we can oust them, and they would come to Azerbaijan. That should be an economic threat." Gasimov noted that while Baku may have previously backed down in the face of Russian pressure, this time appears different. "The reaction of Azerbaijan was just to react, with tit-for-tat tactics," he said. Shifting power in Caucasus Baku's self-confidence is partly attributed to its military success in 2020, when it regained control over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region and adjacent territories from Armenian forces after a six-week war. "The South Caucasus is changing," noted Farid Shafiyev, Chairman of the Baku-based Centre for Analysis of International Relations. Shafiyev argues that the era of Moscow treating the region as its backyard is over. "Russia cannot just grasp and accept this change because of its imperial arrogance; it demands subordination, and that has changed for a number of reasons. First of all, due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, and second, due to the trajectory of events following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The third very important factor is Turkey," added Shafiyev. Turkey, a long-standing ally of Azerbaijan, has significantly increased military cooperation and arms sales in recent years. Turkish-made drones played a key role in Azerbaijan's 2020 military campaign. In 2021, the Shusha Declaration was signed, committing both nations to mutual military support in the event of aggression. Turkey also plans to establish one of its largest overseas military bases in Azerbaijan. "A very strong relationship with Ankara, marked by strong cooperation in the economic and military fields for decades, as also outlined in the Shusha Declaration several years ago, is an asset and one of the elements of Azerbaijan's growing self-confidence," said Gasimov. Azerbaijan and Turkey build bridges amid declining influence of Iran Strategic rivalries Turkey's expanding influence in the South Caucasus – at Russia's expense – is the latest in a series of regional rivalries between the two powers. Turkish-backed forces countered a Russian-aligned warlord in Libya, and Turkey-supported factions have contested Russian influence in Syria. These confrontations have strained the once-close ties between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin. "No doubt that the Putin-Erdogan relationship is not as good as it used to be because we've either instigated or become participants in events in the South Caucasus and Syria," said analyst Atilla Yeşilada of Global Source Partners. Growing military buildup in Azerbaijan and Armenia a concern for peace talks Nevertheless, Yesilada believes pragmatism will prevail – for now – given Turkey's dependence on Russian energy and trade. "The economic interests are so huge, there is a huge chasm between not being too friendly and being antagonistic. I don't think we've got to that point. If we did, there would be serious provocations in Turkey," he warned. Until now, Turkish and Russian leaders have largely managed to compartmentalise their differences. However, that approach may soon face its toughest test yet, as Azerbaijan remains a strategic priority for Turkey, while Russia has long considered the Caucasus to be within its traditional sphere of influence. "We don't know what will be Russia's next target. We cannot exclude that Russia might be quite assertive in the South Caucasus in the future," warned Shafiyev. "I think the easiest way is to build friendly relationships and economic partnerships with the countries of the South Caucasus. Unfortunately, Moscow looks like it's not ready for a partnership. But if it's ready, we would welcome it," he added.

Milli Savunma Bakanlığı dedi ki… “Suriye, Türkiye'den (savunma ve terörle mücadele kapsamında) resmi destek talep etti.” Suriye'de yeni bir aşamayı işaret eden bu önemli açıklamanın değinilmesi gereken birden fazla boyutu var… Suriye'nin destek talebini -öğrendiğim kadarıyla- Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) üzerinden iletmesi ayrı… Ankara'nın, yeni durumda diplomasiyi sert güçle destekleyeceği mesajı ayrı… Suriye'ye verilecek askeri desteğin niteliği ayrı… Terörle mücadele ve İsrail konusu ayrı ayrı irdelenmeyi hak ediyor. Değineceğim. Ama önce bir çerçeve çizmem gerekiyor.
In this episode of Middle East Focus, hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj are joined by MEI Senior Fellow Gönül Tol to discuss how shifting regional dynamics — from the Israel-Iran war to renewed violence in southern Syria — are reshaping Turkey's foreign policy and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's domestic agenda. They unpack Ankara's ties with the US under the Trump administration, its strained relations with Israel, the implications of Turkey's peace process with the PKK, and Erdoğan's bid to maintain his hold on power. The conversation also explores how Turkey is positioning itself as Western engagement grows more uncertain and what this means for the future of democracy in the country. Listen to Gönül's podcast Rethinking Democracy, where she explores threats to democracy at home and abroad — and how to counter them — at the link below: https://www.mei.edu/podcast/rethinking-democracy

Eski İsrail Cumhurbaşkanı Şimon Peres'in danışmanı Jonathan Adiri'nin Ynet'teki analizi dikkat çekti. Adiri, “İsrail ve Türkiye savaşa doğru gidiyor” başlıklı yazısında, “Türkiye'nin “sessiz ama stratejik” bir yükseliş yaşadığını, İsrail'in ise bu dönüşüm karşısında savunmada kaldığını belirtti. Adiri, “Ankara, Orta Doğu'da belirleyici bir aktöre dönüştü. Netanyahu buna karşı hazırlanıyor” dedi. Adiri ayrıca Türkiye'ye karşı 4 ülkeyle acil ittifak çağrısı yaptı?
One of the world's most protracted armed conflicts could finally be drawing to a close in Turkey. This month, a small group of fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been waging an armed struggle against the Turkish state for greater minority rights, voluntarily disarmed. At a ceremony in northern Iraq, PKK commander Bese Hozart announced that the disarmament by 30 fighters - 15 men and 15 women - was undertaken freely and in line with the group's commitment to pursue a democratic socialist society through peaceful means. The fighters' weapons were burned as part of the symbolic event. The move came just days after the release of a video message from imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, who reiterated his call for an end to the armed struggle and the formal dissolution of the group. It was the first time the Turkish public had heard Öcalan's voice since his incarceration in 1999. PKK ends 40-year fight but doubts remain about the next steps Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan responded by telling supporters that the country had reached a historic moment. Ankara now expects a complete disarmament of the remaining PKK fighters by autumn. Since the beginning of the peace process last year, Erdoğan has ruled out making concessions, insisting the rebels are unilaterally surrendering. However, the high-profile nature of the disarmament ceremony is increasing pressure on the government to respond in kind. “This is a historic moment; this is a conflict that has been going on for nearly half a century. Now it's the government's turn to actually open up the political space,” said Aslı Aydıntaşbaş of the Brookings Institution in Washington. “Both the Kurdish side and the Turkish side are telling their own constituencies that they're not giving up much—trying to convince their bases, which, in both cases, seem unprepared for such a radical shift,” she added. Kurdish leader Ocalan calls for PKK disarmament, paving way for peace Opaque negotiations, rising distrust As a gesture of goodwill, the government has reportedly improved Öcalan's prison conditions and allowed communication through a so-called “secretariat.” However, the PKK continues to press for broader concessions, including an amnesty for its members and the right for ex-fighters to return to Turkey. There have also been calls for Öcalan's release, alongside the release of tens of thousands of individuals jailed under Turkey's broad anti-terror laws. Yet concerns are mounting over the transparency of the peace negotiations. “It's really difficult even to assess it because we don't really know what's going on,” said Zeynep Ardıç, an expert on conflict resolution at Istanbul's Medeniyet University. “Some negotiations don't need to be public, but the public should still be informed,” she said. Ardıç warned that the current polarization in Turkish politics and a legacy of mistrust built over decades of conflict make transparency essential. “There should be a bit of transparency, because people don't trust state institutions, people don't trust each other, people don't trust the government or the judiciary. So, it's not easy to succeed under these circumstances. The government needs to reinstall trust - not just among Kurdish people, but among Turkish people as well.” Politics could undermine fragile progress Following the disarmament ceremony, Erdoğan announced the formation of a parliamentary commission to oversee the process, including members from his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), his coalition partner the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), and the pro-Kurdish People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM). Notably absent was the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), whose exclusion is fueling fears that Erdoğan is politicizing the peace process. Erdoğan requires the support of Kurdish parliamentarians to amend the constitution and potentially remove presidential term limits—allowing him to remain in power indefinitely. Turkey's Saturday Mothers keep up vigil for lost relatives “Erdoğan is trying to juggle two conflicting priorities,” noted analyst Atilla Yeşilada of U.S.-based consultancy Global Source Partners. “A: give the Kurds the least of what they want in return for a constitution that allows him to run again, and B: broaden his war against the CHP. I don't know how he can finesse that.” While Erdoğan speaks of a new era of unity between Turks, Arabs, and Kurds, he is simultaneously escalating a legal crackdown on the CHP, even going so far as to label the party a terror threat. This is a risky move, given that the pro-Kurdish DEM party has previously supported CHP candidates in both presidential and mayoral elections. Kurdish analyst Mesut Yeğen, of the Center for Social Impact Research in Istanbul, warned that Erdoğan may be overplaying his hand. “If Erdoğan's pressure on the CHP continues, then it's likely that DEM's electorate, members, and cadres could grow discontent,” Yeğen predicted. “They'll think that if Erdoğan succeeds against CHP, he'll start a similar campaign against the DEM. So I think they will strike a kind of balance.” Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common ground Despite the uncertainty, powerful incentives remain on both sides to pursue peace. With the PKK largely pushed out of Turkish territory and facing military defeat, and Erdoğan in dire need of parliamentary support, momentum for a resolution is strong. But with negotiations shrouded in secrecy, many remain skeptical about what kind of peace this process will ultimately deliver.

Erdoğan ve AKP iktidarı CHP'li belediyelere, muhalif siyasilere, gazetecilere, akademisyenlere yönelik baskı, gözaltı, tutuklama kampanyası ile tam bir baskıcı ve keyfî yönetim yani istibdad rejimi örneği sergiliyor. İstibdad rejimi bu kampanyayı yolsuzlukla mücadele kılıfına sokuyor ama mızrak çuvala sığmıyor. Emekçi halkımız CHP'yi bilir, CHP'liler de dahil hiç kimse CHP'li belediyelerde yolsuzluk yoktur demez. İktidar, CHP'nin burjuva sınıf karakterini hem kendi eylemlerini yoksul halk nezdinde meşrulaştırmak için hem de CHP'nin içinden kendisine hizmet edecek elemanlar devşirmek için sonuna kadar kullanıyor. Ama gelinen aşamada AKP iktidarı sanki ringde sağlı sollu yumruk atmaktan yorulup bitkin düşen bir boksör gibi kendi kendini tüketmeye başladı.Çünkü emekçi halkımız AKP'yi de bilir. Kimse yolsuzluğun sadece CHP'li belediyelerde olduğuna, AKP'nin MHP'nin belediyelerinin pirüpak olduğuna inanmaz. Buna AKP ve MHP seçmenleri de dahildir. CHP'li Mansur Yavaş Ankara'da AKP'li Melih Gökçek dönemine ait 100 yolsuzluk dosyasını yetkili makamlara sunduğunu ama tek bir soruşturma açılmadığını söylüyor. Hangi Melih Gökçek? AKP'li Bülent Arınç'ın Ankara'yı parsel parsel cemaate satmakla suçladığı, Tayyip Erdoğan'ın istifasını isteyip görevden el çektirdiği Melih Gökçek! Şimdi Erdoğan nasıl kendi partisinin belediyelerinin temiz olduğunu iddia edebilir? Eğer Ankara'da Melih Gökçek'i, İstanbul'da Kadir Topbaş'ı istifa ettirdikten sonra bu kişilere fiilî dokunulmazlık zırhı sağlamamış olsaydı belki biraz olsun inandırıcı olabilirdi.AKP iktidarının yolsuzlukları için ihbara, itirafçıya, gizli tanığa da gerek yok. Sayıştay raporları sayısız yolsuzluk örneği ile dolu. Ama Sayıştay'ın yaptırım yetkisi yok. Sayıştay'ın devletin açıkça zarara uğratıldığını ortaya koyduğu vakalarla ilgili sorduğu sorulara hükümetin resmî cevap yazıları ise hep aynı: İdarenin takdir yetkisi… Bu idarenin takdiri nedense halka karşı hep cimrilikle, ama müteahhitlere, oligarklara, bankalara, holdinglere bilhassa da yabancı sermayeye alabildiğine cömertlikle tecelli ediyor. İngiliz Mehmet'in (Mehmet Şimşek İngiliz vatandaşıdır) işçi düşmanı Orta Vadeli Programı nalıncı keseri gibi hep sermayeden yana yontuyor. Örneğin idarenin takdiri ile asgari ücrete ara zam yapılmadı. Dört kişilik bir aile için açlık sınırı 26 bin lirayı, yoksulluk sınırı 85 bin lirayı, bekar işçinin yaşam maliyeti 33 bin lirayı geçti, asgari ücret 22 bin lirada kaldı. İdarenin takdiri ile doğalgaza yüzde 25 zam yapıldıktan günler sonra aynı idare kamu işçilerine yüzde 17 ücret zammı teklif etti. İktidar, yaz rehavetiyle, okulların kapanmasıyla muhalefetin mitingleri sönümlenir diye umarken bu sefer işçiler meydana iniyor. İktidarın arka bahçesi olarak gördüğü Türk-İş ve Hak-İş, ardı ardına eylem kararları almak zorunda kalıyor. Sendika bürokratları gaz almak için, dostlar alışverişte görsün diye bu eylemleri düzenliyor ama işçiler AKP il binalarının önünde yürekten gelen bir coşkuyla, hançerelerini yırtarcasına “AKP işçiye hesap verecek” diye haykırıyor. Haykıranlar sadece CHP'liler ya da muhalifler değil! Birçoğu AKP'ye ve MHP'ye oy vermiş olan işçiler! Hangi partiye oy vermiş olursa olsun bu işçiler bıçak kemikte diyerek alanlara indiler. Ardından işyerini terk etmeme eylemleri geliyor, 17 Temmuz'da da “bir gün işe gelmeme” adı altında bir günlük fiilî grev var!Kamu emekçilerinin (memurların) toplu sözleşmesi ise Ağustos'ta! Kamu emekçilerinin grev hakkı tanınmıyor. Dahası sözleşme süreci okulların kapalı olduğu döneme getiriliyor ki en kalabalık ve örgütlü kamu emekçileri kesimi hizmet üretiminden gelen gücünü pazarlık masasına koyamasın. Ama kamu emekçisi için de artık bıçak kemikte! 1 milyondan fazla üyesiyle yetkili konfederasyon olarak masaya oturan Memur-Sen, bugüne kadar AKP'nin memur kolu gibi çalıştı, bugünden sonra AKP ve MHP seçmeni memurları bile ikna edebilir mi şüpheli…
CHP'nin 38. Olağan Kurultayının iptali ve hiç yapılmamış kabul edilmesi (mutlak butlan) talebiyle Ankara 42. Asliye Hukuk Mahkemesi'nde açılan dava bugün (30 Haziran 2025) görüldü ve mahkeme 8 Eylül tarihine ertelendi. Mahkemede eski Hatay Belediye Başkanı CHP'li Lütfü Savaş ve bazı CHP kurultay delegeleri davacı konumunda bulunuyor. Mahkeme eğer davacıların talebi doğrultusunda kararını verseydi CHP'nin 4-5 Kasım 2023'te gerçekleştirilen 38. Olağan Kurultayında Genel Başkan, Parti Meclisi ve Merkez Disiplin Kurulu seçimleri yok sayılacak, her şey 3 Kasım 2023'e dönecek yani bu tarihte Genel Başkan olan Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu ve diğer kurullar tekrar görev başına gelecekti. Dolayısıyla Kılıçdaroğlu da bu davanın bir tarafı olarak görülüyor.CHP davası CHP'lerin işbirlikçilik yaptığı bir iktidar operasyonudurTürkiye siyasi tarihinde eşi benzeri olmayan bu karar ancak hukuka takla attırarak alınabilirdi. Çünkü Yüksek Seçim Kurulu'nun yetkili olduğu ve tüm itiraz süreçlerinin tamamlanıp kesinleştiği CHP Kurultayı ile ilgili Asliye Hukuk Mahkemesi'nin karar vermeye yetkisi dahi yoktu. Dolayısıyla klasik bir istibdad rejimi örneği olarak mahkemenin siyasi talimata hukuki kılıf giydirmesi gerekiyordu. İlginç bir durum oldu. Mahkeme karar vermedi ve davayı 8 Eylül'e erteledi. Bu erteleme kararının da ciddiye alınır hukuki bir gerekçesi yoktu. Mahkeme başkanı “Bu celsede karar verecektik ama ceza yargılamasındaki görevsizlik kararının kesinleşmesini bekliyoruz. En azından yargılamanın hangi mahkemede yapılacağını görmemiz gerekiyor.” diyerek erteleme kararını açıkladı. Asliye Ceza Mahkemesi “rüşvet suçu” var ise ağır ceza mahkemesi yetkilidir diye görevsizlik kararı vermişti.Dikkat! Rüşvet iddialarını da içeren ceza yargılamalarının sonucunu değil hangi mahkemenin görevli olduğunu görmek istiyor. “Sanıkların ceza mahkemesinde suçlu mu görüleceği yoksa beraat mı edeceği belli olsun, bu bizim baktığımız davada maddi gerçekliğin ortaya çıkması açısından önemlidir” dese belki anlaşılır. Ama öyle demiyor. Hangi mahkeme bakacak onu göreyim diyor. Sonra sanıklar suçlu da görülse beraat de etse benim için fark etmez diyor. Sadece hukukla değil akılla mantıkla da ilgisi olmayan gerekçeler. Nitekim erteleme kararının hemen ardından görevsizlik kararı reddedildi ve ceza yargılamasının Asliye Ceza Mahkemesi'nde süreceği belli oldu.Belli ki bu sefer de erteleme yönünde bir siyasi karar tebliğ edilmiş bu karara hukuki kılıf uydurulmuştu. Belli ki CHP'nin 8 Eylül'e kadar tüm yaz boyunca kendi iç kavgalarıyla uğraşması, iktidarı sıkıştıran erken seçim yerine CHP'nin seçiminin konuşulur olması isteniyor. Ve öyle olacağı da anlaşılıyor. İstibdad rejiminin açık bir siyasi operasyonu ile karşı karşıyayız. Bu operasyonu birçok yönüyle “CHP'de mutlak buhran” başlıklı yazımızda işlemiştik. Bu yazımızda “CHP köklü partidir, bu oyunlara gelmez” gibi düşüncelerin mezarlıktan geçerken ıslık çalmak kabilinden olduğunu ve Kılıçdaroğlu cephesinin istibdadın mahkemesi eliyle yeniden CHP'nin başına geçmeye hazırlandığını söylemiştik. Geçen süre içinde Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu ve Ekrem İmamoğlu, Silivri'de bir görüşme yaptı. Özgür Özel cephesi, Kılıçdaroğlu'na, kendisini sağduyu ile hareket etmeye davet etmek, kendisinden olası bir mutlak butlan kararını gayrimeşru ilan etmesini ve eğer böyle bir karar çıkarsa partiyi hemen olağanüstü genel kurula götüreceğini açıklamasını istemek için aracılar gönderdi. Hepsi de elleri boş döndü. Silivri'ye geldiğinde Kılıçdaroğlu'nu “genel başkanım” diye karşılayan İmamoğlu artık onun için “beni burada betona gömmek istiyor” diyordu.
Sytuacja na Bliskim Wschodzie jest daleka od stabilności. Wciąż jest wielkie napięcie na linii Izrael-Iran i Izrael-Syria. Jak na to reaguje Turcja? Ankara od dawna próbuje ustabilizować region. Tymczasem Izrael i jego działania prowadzą w innym kierunku. Jak na to reaguje Turcja? Jak wyglądają relacje Turcja-Izrael? Czy pośrednie lub bezpośrednie starcie tych krajów jest realne?

Israel bombs Syria, kills 3, wounds dozens "At least three people have been killed and 34 others wounded as Israel launched a wave of air strikes on the Syrian capital. Israel carried out strikes on the General Staff Complex and the Presidential Palace, known as Qasr al-Shaab, in Damascus. The Israeli army confirmed the air strikes and called the attack on the Presidential Palace a “warning strike.” Israeli fighter jets also staged several air strikes on the southwestern province of Daraa and Qatana city in the Damascus countryside." Israel kills scores in Gaza including aid-seeking Palestinians "Israel has killed at least 68 people in Gaza on Wednesday, including several starving Palestinians who suffocated from tear gas while waiting at US-backed, so-called aid sites in the hope of getting some food. The killings took place in Khan Younis, Nuseirat refugee camp, Gaza City, Jabalia, Deir al Balah and Netzarim Corridor." "Türkiye slams Israeli strikes on Damascus" Türkiye's Foreign Ministry has condemned recent Israeli air strikes targeting central Damascus, calling them a deliberate attempt to undermine Syria's efforts toward peace, stability, and security. The ministry said the latest attack by Israel on Damascus, following its previous military interventions in southern Syria, constitutes an act of sabotage against Syria's attempts to restore peace and order. Ankara warned that such actions threaten to derail a rare opportunity for the war-torn country to move toward normalisation." Illegal Israeli settlers seize control of historic Ibrahimi Mosque "Israeli authorities have stripped the Palestinian-run Hebron municipality of administrative powers over the Ibrahimi Mosque and transferred them to a council of illegal Jewish settlers. Located in the Old City of Hebron, which is under Israeli occupation, the Ibrahimi Mosque is surrounded by approximately 400 illegal Israeli settlers protected by about 1,500 Israeli soldiers. The mosque complex is believed by Abrahamic religions to hold the remains of Prophet Abraham and his family." Türkiye's Fidan denounces Israel's genocide in Gaza " Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has condemned Israel's genocide in Gaza in strong terms during an address to the United Nations Security Council, saying the war has turned the Palestinian enclave into a ""concentration camp"" and accused Israel of systematically targeting civilians. Fidan said over 2 million people are enduring unspeakable suffering in Gaza. He also cited Israel's forced mass displacement, widespread destruction, and the deliberate blocking of humanitarian aid in the besieged enclave."

On July 11, a group of PKK fighters burned their weapons in a ceremony marking the end of their forty-year-long armed campaign against the Kurdish state. Aliza Marcus, a leading expert on the militant group, says it is too early to determine whether the PKK will abandon armed struggle completely and that much depends on what steps Ankara is prepared to take to meet Kurdish demands.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump says Gaza ceasefire could be days away "US President Donald Trump said a Gaza ceasefire deal could be wrapped up within the week. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews, he noted talks are progressing and hinted at a breakthrough soon. He confirmed that Israel has agreed to the proposed terms for a 60-day truce, with the deal now in Hamas' hands. Qatar and Egypt are mediating, and Hamas has responded positively, showing readiness to move forward. " Trump approves Patriot missiles for Ukraine "Trump announced the US will send Patriot air defence missiles to Ukraine but says the EU is paying the bill. “We're not paying anything for it,” he said, calling it good business for the US. He took a jab at Putin, accusing him of double talk: “He talks nice and then bombs people at night.” Trump didn't say how many missile systems will be delivered." Australia launches biggest war games ever "Australia kicked off its largest-ever military drill, with 35,000 troops training across the country. “Talisman Sabre 2025” includes forces from over 15 partner nations and, for the first time, extends into Papua New Guinea. The exercise reflects growing security concerns in the Indo-Pacific, especially around Taiwan. The three-week drills will cover land, sea, and air operations, showcasing serious regional coordination." Sudan: RSF attack kills 11 civilians, including children "At least 11 civilians, among them three children, were killed in a deadly RSF attack in North Kordofan, Sudan. The Sudan Doctors Network slammed it as one of the most brutal assaults yet. Over 30 others were injured, including nine women and pregnant civilians. Medical officials are calling on the UN and African Union to intervene and stop the violence." Erdogan pushes for ‘Terror-Free Türkiye' "President Erdogan says Türkiye is pushing to erase terrorism from the region's agenda for good. In a call with UAE President Al Nahyan, he reaffirmed Ankara's commitment to regional security under its ‘Terror-Free Türkiye' initiative. Al Nahyan welcomed the move and said it would greatly enhance stability."
Der 76-jährige PKK-Gründer Abdullah Öcalan hat sich diese Woche erstmals seit seiner Festnahme 1999 in einer Videobotschaft aus dem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Imrali an die Öffentlichkeit gewandt. In dem siebenminütigen Clip ruft er die verbotene Arbeiterpartei Kurdistans auf, den bewaffneten Kampf einzustellen und auf »demokratische Politik« zu setzen. Der jahrzehntelange Befreiungskampf sei beendet, weil die Existenz der Kurden mittlerweile anerkannt werde, erklärte Öcalan. Die PKK wird von Ankara, der EU und den USA als Terrororganisation eingestuft. 1984 griff die Gruppe zu den Waffen, seitdem sind in dem Konflikt mindestens 40.000 Menschen ums Leben gekommen. Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan begrüßte Öcalans Erklärung als »Meilenstein«, sprach jedoch auch von einem langen Prozess. Schon am heutigen Freitag wollen erste PKK-Einheiten im Nordirak symbolisch ihre Waffen niederlegen. In der aktuellen Folge des SPIEGEL-Podcasts »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Maximilian Popp, stellvertretender Ressortleiter Ausland beim SPIEGEL. Popp glaubt, dass es nun vor allem auf den türkischen Präsidenten Erdoğan ankommt: »Es wäre jetzt an der Zeit, dass die türkische Regierung wirklich versucht, die Situation der Kurden und Kurdinnen zu verbessern. Es wird entscheidend sein, wie Erdoğan sich verhält. Leider ist er nicht dafür bekannt, sich für Teilhabe und Minderheitenrechte einzusetzen.« Mehr zum Thema: (S+) Nach der Selbstauflösung der PKK könnte Präsident Erdoğan die Spaltung der türkischen Opposition vorantreiben.

Recent reports indicate that the White House is looking to find a way to move past Turkey's purchase of Russian S-400 missiles, and pave the way for Ankara to return to the F-35 program. Sinan Ciddi and Bradley Bowman, the authors of the recent op-ed “S-400s or not, don't give Turkey the F-35”, join Thanos Davelis to make the case that even if Turkey gives up the S-400s, F-35s should be off the table for both practical and moral reasons.Bradley Bowman is senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), and Sinan Ciddi is a senior fellow at FDD and director of its Turkey Program.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:S-400s or not, don't give Turkey the F-35US expands military footprint in Greece as priorities evolveForeign minister in Benghazi Sunday for high-level talks
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's June visit to Turkey marks the latest step in the ongoing rapprochement between the two countries. The move comes as Ankara seeks to expand its influence in the Caucasus, amid the waning power of regional rivals Iran and Russia. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's hosting of Pashinyan in Istanbul last month represents a notable diplomatic effort to normalise relations. Ankara had severed diplomatic ties and closed its border with Armenia in 1993 following the war between Armenia and Turkey's close ally, Azerbaijan, over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. However, Pashinyan's Istanbul visit is being hailed as groundbreaking. “I believe it was very significant for several reasons. It was the first bilateral diplomatic summit between the Turkish and Armenian leaders,” explains Richard Giragosian, Director of the Regional Studies Centre, a Yerevan-based think tank. Until now, interactions between the two leaders had been limited to multilateral engagements—such as Erdoğan's inauguration and meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. But Giragosian argues that the Istanbul meeting carries deeper significance. “This is the first bilateral invitation from Turkey to the Armenian leader. That reflects a second important development: Turkey is seeking to regain its options with Armenia,” observes Giragosian. Armenia looks to reopen border with Turkey as potential gateway to the West Zangezur corridor at centre One of the key issues discussed was the creation of a land bridge through Armenia to connect Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave, which borders Turkey. Known as the Zangezur Corridor, this project is a strategic priority for Ankara. It would not only link Turkey directly to its key ally and vital trade partner Azerbaijan, but also open a new route for Turkish goods to Central Asia. “It is especially important now from an economic standpoint,” notes international relations professor Hüseyin Bağcı of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. Pashinyan's visit is seen as part of a broader Turkish diplomatic push to secure regional support for the Zangezur Corridor. “This is why Prime Minister Pashinyan came to Turkey,” says Bağcı, who suggests Erdoğan is attempting to counter Iranian resistance. “The Zangezur Corridor should not be held hostage by Iranian opposition. It shouldn't be conditional on Iran's stance,” he adds. Iran, Armenia's powerful neighbour, strongly opposes the corridor. Currently, Turkish goods must transit through Iran to reach Central Asia—giving Tehran significant leverage. Iran has often restricted this trade during periods of diplomatic tension with Ankara. More critically, Tehran fears the proposed 40-kilometre corridor would cut off a vital route it uses to bypass international sanctions. Despite Turkish diplomatic efforts, Iran remains firmly opposed. “Nothing has changed in Tehran's position regarding the Zangezur Corridor. Iran is still against the project,” warns Prof Dr Zaur Gasimov of the German Academic Exchange Service. Growing military buildup in Azerbaijan and Armenia a concern for peace talks Gasimov notes, however, that recent geopolitical developments—particularly Israel's ongoing conflict with Iran—have shifted the regional balance in Ankara's favour. “As of July 2025, Iran's diplomatic, political, and military capabilities are far more constrained than they were just a few years ago, due to Israel-led and US-led operations,” says Gasimov. “In both military and political terms, Iran is now significantly limited.” Yet Azerbaijan's insistence that the Zangezur Corridor operate independently of Armenian control remains a major sticking point for Yerevan, says Giragosian. Still, he believes the broader aim of establishing a new trade route—combined with Turkey's willingness to reopen its border—offers the region both economic incentives and a path towards stability through mutual dependence. “The reopening of closed borders, and the creation of trade and transport links, reshapes strategic thinking. It makes any renewal of hostilities far more costly,” says Giragosian. “In this context, it lifts all boats. It's a win-win for everyone,” he continues. “And I do think the real sticking point now will be Russia's reaction, more than any resistance from Turkey, Armenia, or Azerbaijan.” Russia and Iran push back Initially, Moscow supported the Zangezur Corridor, particularly since Russian personnel were envisioned to administer it under the original proposals. But Gasimov notes that Russia's enthusiasm has cooled as it grows increasingly wary of Turkey's expanding influence in a region it still considers part of its traditional sphere. “Moscow is very concerned about Ankara–Yerevan relations. Turkey, after all, is a NATO member—even if Russia cooperates with it in several areas,” says Gasimov. France pushes for peace in the Caucasus amid heat over Iran detainees Despite being heavily engaged in its war in Ukraine, Gasimov suggests Russia still has leverage in the South Caucasus “After three years of war and sweeping sanctions, Russia's capabilities in the region are diminished. But it continues to try to assert itself—by intimidating vulnerable regional economies and exploiting internal political instability, as it did in Armenia just two weeks ago,” says Gasimov. Last month, Armenian security forces arrested several opposition figures, claiming to have foiled a coup attempt. As Moscow remains bogged down in Ukraine, Yerevan may have only a limited window of opportunity to capitalise on Russia's distraction and weakness. “We do see a storm on the horizon,” warns Giragosian. “With an angry and vengeful Putin lashing out at Russia's neighbours, he's seeking to reassert Russian power and influence across the near abroad—from Central Asia to the South Caucasus.” Armenia reconsiders alliances Giragosian argues that such threats could be the catalyst for historic diplomatic realignments. “From an Armenian perspective, it's deeply ironic. For decades, Armenia feared Turkey and turned to Russia for protection. Now, Armenia is looking to Turkey for a greater role—and seeking to distance itself from the Russian orbit.” Pashinyan has made no secret of his intent to pivot Armenia away from Russia and towards Europe. But with neighbouring Georgia increasingly under Moscow's sway, and with Iran and Azerbaijan offering few viable alternatives, Turkey may now represent Armenia's best chance to achieve that strategic realignment.

« La Turquie n'est pas en rivalité avec la France en Afrique », affirme le responsable de la diplomatie turque pour l'Afrique. Depuis vingt-cinq ans, la Turquie est en pleine expansion sur le continent africain. On le voit avec ses opérateurs économiques et avec le succès de ses drones sur les champs de bataille. Mais loin de vouloir prendre sa place, la Turquie veut renforcer sa coopération avec la France. C'est ce qu'affirme Volkan Isiksi, directeur général pour l'Afrique au ministère turc des Affaires étrangères. De passage à Paris, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Volkan Isikci, bonjour, Volkan Isikci : bonjour RFI : En 2007, la France de Nicolas Sarkozy et l'Allemagne d'Angela Merkel ont dit non à l'entrée de la Turquie dans l'Union européenne. Est-ce que c'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles votre pays s'est tourné vers le continent africain avec une politique ambitieuse ? En fait, notre politique ambitieuse vers les autres continents, notamment l'Afrique, ça remonte bien avant 2007, donc en 1998. A partir de 2003, les relations de la Turquie avec l'Union africaine, ça s'est développé et on a essayé d'être présent sur le continent africain avec l'ouverture des ambassades. En l'an 2002, on avait douze ambassades. Aujourd'hui, on en a 44 et notre vision est de pouvoir augmenter le nombre de ces ambassades et de pouvoir les augmenter jusqu'à 50 dans les prochaines années, avec les possibilités que l'on va avoir. Tout de même, Monsieur le Directeur général, on remarque que, en 2007 donc, il y a ce refus de la France et de l'Allemagne de faire entrer la Turquie dans l'Union européenne. Et un an plus tard, en 2008, il y a ce premier sommet Turquie-Afrique. Est-ce qu'il n'y a pas un lien de cause à effet ? Non, c'est une coïncidence. Le choix de 2008, c'est indépendamment de la décision que vous avez mentionnée. C'était une feuille de route que l'on avait déjà établie. Donc, en 2008, on a organisé le premier sommet Turquie-Afrique, c'était en Turquie. En 2014, le deuxième, c'était en Guinée équatoriale. En 2021, on a organisé le troisième en Turquie et le quatrième, on va l'organiser l'année prochaine en Libye. Le choix a été ratifié par les organismes concernés de l'Union africaine. Et par les autorités libyennes de Tripoli, puisque ce sera à Tripoli ? Exactement. Depuis 20 ans, Monsieur le Directeur général, le volume d'échanges de votre pays avec l'Afrique a fait un bond très important. Il est passé de 5 milliards à 40 milliards de dollars par an. Qu'est-ce que vous apportez de différent par rapport à l'Europe et la Chine ? Avec nos amis africains, la période de Covid a eu des effets positifs pour que ce volume d'échanges augmente. Comme vous savez, à ce moment-là, il y avait des restrictions du point de vue des visas, du point de vue des vols. Nous, on n'a jamais essayé de rendre la vie difficile à nos amis africains qui voulaient visiter la Turquie. Notre régime de visas était flexible. En plus, les vols de Turkish Airlines n'ont jamais cessé à cette période-là. Nos amis africains, au lieu des destinations classiques qu'ils avaient pour voyager, faire du commerce en Europe ou bien en Asie, ils ont découvert un peu la Turquie. Et dans plusieurs pays africains, ils mentionnent que la continuité, la qualité, le prix et le suivi des produits turcs qu'ils se procurent en Turquie sont nettement plus concurrents que ceux des autres régions du monde. Ils nous disent : « Vous avez des produits de qualité européenne au prix de produits chinois. Alors en effet, certains disent en Afrique que les produits turcs sont moins chers que les produits européens et de meilleure qualité que les produits chinois. Quels produits par exemple ? De tout. Des dentifrices aux tissus, aux chaussures, aux meubles. Surtout dans le secteur de la construction. La plupart du matériel est importé de la Turquie. Évidemment, au lieu d'importer de très loin comme la Chine, le matériel qui est commandé de la Turquie, il parvient à peu près dans un délai d'un mois, un mois et demi, dans le pays concerné. Quand il faut construire un centre de conférence très vite pour un sommet de dans six mois, les Turcs sont là. C'est ça ? Voilà. Donc je ne vais pas citer le pays, mais dans un pays africain, le leader qui avait demandé à une compagnie turque de pouvoir organiser une grande conférence internationale avec la participation des chefs d'Etats, il lui a demandé s'il pouvait construire un centre de conférence en six mois. La compagnie concernée, qui est très active en Afrique, lui a fait la proposition de pouvoir le faire avec un délai de six mois. Evidemment, le prix était très abordable pour ça. La compagnie lui a demandé quelques faveurs : pouvoir amener 4000 ouvriers de Turquie avec six navires et tout le matériel qui serait nécessaire. Donc la commande a été passée au mois de janvier et les portes de cette conférence ont été ouvertes pour accueillir les chefs d'Etat mi-juin. Et donc c'est un succès qui a été réalisé en six mois. Et cet exemple que vous donnez sur six mois, je crois que c'est arrivé dans un pays d'Afrique centrale ? Oui, en Afrique centrale. L'un de vos produits phares en Afrique, Volkan Isikci, c'est le drone de la société Bayraktar. Il a fait ses preuves à Tripoli en 2019, puis dans la guerre Éthiopie -Tigré en 2021. Et du coup, beaucoup de pays africains vous achètent ce produit, comme le Mali, le Tchad. Est-ce que certains pays africains n'ont pas renoncé à la protection des avions de chasse classiques au bénéfice de ces drones, parce que c'est moins cher et parce qu'il y a moins d'abandon de souveraineté ? Je pense qu'il faut voir cette approche dans un contexte technologique et de maniabilité parce que, pour l'utilisation des avions de chasse, il faut déjà des terrains, des pistes d'atterrissage qui sont adéquats. Et ces drones ou ces nouveaux engins depuis quelque temps sont beaucoup plus abordables, maniables et efficaces que les avions de chasse. Que les Mirage 2000 par exemple ? Les avions de chasse demandent beaucoup de dépenses évidemment pour l'achat, pour la maintenance ou le personnel. Les drones, évidemment, ce sont des sociétés privées qui en font, mais l'autorisation d'exportation émane de notre ministère de la Défense. Il faut d'abord un feu vert d'Ankara ? Voilà. Et le suivi de l'utilisation de ces engins est régulé par le ministère de la Défense et d'autres institutions qui travaillent dans ce domaine-là. Est ce qu'on peut parler, de la part de la Turquie en Afrique, d'une diplomatie du drone ? Mais la question du drone se passe seulement dans quelques pays africains pour protéger leur intégrité territoriale. Ce sont des demandes conjoncturelles qui font que la demande des pays est acceptée par la Turquie. Évidemment, les formations que l'on offre, avec un prix abordable et la continuité et la confiance qu'ils ont en la Turquie, tout cela fait que beaucoup plus de pays maintenant recourent à notre technologie dans ce domaine-là. Mais quand vos drones sont utilisés pour frapper des populations civiles, je pense au Mali par exemple, est ce que vous ne craignez pas que cela ternisse l'image de la Turquie ? Évidemment, comme je vous l'ai dit, pour les ventes et l'exportation, il y a une régulation très restreinte. On fait le suivi de ces engins-là dans ces pays-là. Donc, une mauvaise utilisation de vos drones peut conduire à la rupture de la livraison de ces drones ? Voilà, parce que c'est régulé internationalement. Nous, on ne voudrait pas nuire à l'image de la Turquie dans ce sens-là, on ne voudrait pas que ça arrive. Est ce qu'il vous est arrivé, ces dernières années, de dire à un pays africain client de vos drones : « Là, vous avez utilisé ces drones contre des populations civiles, nous ne sommes pas d'accord et nous arrêtons la livraison » ? Après, on n'a pas dit. Mais avant, on dit toujours : « Il ne faut pas les utiliser de façon inappropriée, sinon ça va être la rupture », parce qu'il y a un contrôle continu dans ce sens-là ». Et c'est arrivé qu'il y ait une rupture ? Non, ça n'est pas arrivé, mais on suit de très près pour que ce genre d'évènement n'arrive pas dans ce sens-là. En 2019, la Turquie a soutenu militairement le gouvernement Sarraj à Tripoli contre l'offensive du maréchal Haftar sur la capitale libyenne. Pourquoi avez-vous fait ce choix ? Monsieur Sarraj, c'était le leader de la Libye à ce moment-là, qui était reconnu par les Nations Unies. Du coup, quand il y a eu les actes émanant de l'Est de la Libye vers Tripoli, il a écrit une lettre de demande d'aide d'urgence aux leaders internationaux de cinq pays, y compris la France et la Turquie. Et la Turquie a été le seul pays à pouvoir répondre positivement à son appel à l'aide. Donc notre coopération avec le gouvernement de Tripoli, ça a commencé avec ces démarches de Monsieur Sarraj à ce moment-là et ça continue jusqu'à présent. Et maintenant, on voit que la Libye est en cours de pouvoir solidifier sa démocratie, disons sa gouvernance, avec l'aide qu'on leur a fournie pour que le pays ne tombe pas dans le chaos. Et justement, vous continuez de soutenir Tripoli contre Benghazi ? Le gouvernement Dbeibah contre le maréchal Haftar et ses fils ? Ou est-ce que vous essayez de réconcilier les deux camps ? Non, il n'y a pas de pour et contre. Nous avons des relations avec l'Est aussi. On a ouvert notre Consulat général à Benghazi par exemple. On a des contacts avec Monsieur Haftar et les dirigeants du côté Est. Donc on soutient toutes les parties pour qu'il y ait une entente entre eux pour stabiliser politiquement leur pays. Et je crois que Turkish Airlines atterrit maintenant à Benghazi ? Voilà ! Depuis la chute du régime Assad en Syrie, au mois de décembre dernier, la Russie redéploie ses bateaux et ses avions gros-porteurs vers l'Est de la Libye, notamment Tobrouk et Benghazi. Est-ce que cela vous préoccupe ? Non, pas du tout. Nous, on a toujours des contacts avec la Russie concernant les questions de sécurité et de défense, concernant différentes régions du monde. Donc ça ne nous préoccupe pas. Est que c'est pour apaiser la situation politique au Congo-Brazzaville… Il y a 5 ans, vous avez accepté de soigner dans votre pays, en Turquie, l'opposant Jean-Marie Michel Mokoko, qui est donc sorti de sa prison congolaise pendant quelques semaines et qui y est retourné depuis. Voilà 9 ans quand même que cet opposant politique est détenu à Brazzaville. Qu'est-ce que vous pensez de cette situation ? Pour cela, il faut voir la qualité du plateau technique sanitaire que la Turquie offre aux différents demandeurs dans ce sens-là. Les pays africains font beaucoup de demandes pour pouvoir se soigner sur le sol turc. Donc, il faut considérer cette approche du gouvernement du Congo-Brazzaville pour pouvoir soigner l'opposant. La relation qui existe entre les chefs d'Etat et la confiance qui règne entre eux… Je pense que c'est le résultat de ces approches-là qui a fait que cet opposant a pu retrouver la santé et retourner après dans son pays. Donc, c'est le témoignage d'une relation de confiance entre les présidents Sassou-Nguesso et Erdogan ? Voila. Dans votre esprit, c'est plus une approche humanitaire qu'une approche politique ? Humanitaire. Il faut voir ça sous l'optique humanitaire. Autre séjour médical très remarqué dans votre pays, la Turquie, celui évidemment de l'ancien président Alpha Condé de Guinée Conakry. Est-ce à dire que vous pourriez jouer un rôle de facilitateur aujourd'hui entre le général Doumbouya, qui est venu d'ailleurs à Ankara pour la dernière investiture du président Erdogan il y a deux ans, et les opposants guinéens en exil ? Vous savez, la médiation ne se fait pas parce que vous avez le désir d'être médiateur. Ça doit venir des parties concernées. Donc une demande n'a pas été mentionnée. Donc du coup, ça n'a pas été vu dans ce sens-là. Il n'y a pas de médiation turque sur la Guinée Conakry ? Non. On dit souvent, Volkan Isikci, qu'il y a une rivalité entre la Turquie et la France en Afrique. Est-ce que c'est vrai ou pas ? Pas du tout ! Parce que le mot rivalité, c'est quelque chose de négatif. La concurrence, ça existe parce que, dans le monde, les intérêts, ça existe. Avec la France, je pense que le mot concurrence est plus adapté, mais il faut enrichir ça avec une coopération, une collaboration. Avec les relations historiques que la France a avec le continent africain, avec l'expérience de plus en plus aiguë des acteurs turcs sur le continent, je pense qu'avec ces atouts, les deux pays peuvent servir davantage pour pouvoir subvenir aux besoins des pays concernés, pour être à côté de ceux qui en ont besoin. Et dans le cadre d'un partenariat entre les deux pays, quels sont les atouts de la France en Afrique sur lesquels vous, les Turcs, vous aimeriez vous appuyer ? Les deux pays ont des expériences différentes. Évidemment, la connaissance du terrain, la présence linguistique peuvent apporter beaucoup de choses de la part de la France. La Turquie, avec son expérience de plus en plus aiguë depuis les années 2000, peut servir davantage pour pouvoir réaliser de grands investissements dans ce sens. Moi j'aimerais bien mentionner que la zone de confort n'existe pas. Il faut prendre des risques. Il faut être sur le terrain avec un partenaire de confiance. Je pense qu'on peut faire beaucoup de choses. On croit beaucoup à ça et, quel que soit le pays, on n'a jamais essayé de destituer une entité, un pays du continent africain. Vous n'avez jamais voulu chasser la France de certains pays africains ? Pas du tout, pas du tout. On n'a pas cette position. On veut seulement développer davantage et subvenir aux besoins de nos amis africains qui nous font la demande. Vous n'êtes pas dans une démarche de rivalité avec la France, comme peut l'être la Russie par exemple ? Pas du tout, pas du tout. La question de la Russie, je ne suis pas en mesure d'y répondre, mais nous, on ne voit pas la France en tant que rivale sur le continent africain. Volkan Isikci, monsieur le Directeur général, merci.

Since President Trump stepped back into the Oval Office, Greece has been on the lookout for the arrival of a new US ambassador. While nominee Kimberly Guilfoyle has yet to go through her Senate hearing, the US ambassador in Ankara, Tom Barrack, seems to be charting a new course for US-Turkey ties. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis as we break down why the US can not afford to be under-represented in Southeast Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:No US ambassador in AthensUS envoy signals restart in US–Turkey relations as F-35 thaw beginsSubsidy scandal shakes ruling party‘We failed': Mitsotakis addresses OPEKEPE scandal and party's roleGreece names new ministers after high-level resignations over farm scandalSevere heat wave hits southern Europe and raises wildfire risksFirefighters in Turkey battle to contain wildfires for second day
Turkey has spent weeks walking a diplomatic tightrope, caught between its outrage over Israel's actions and its reluctance to cross the United States. A ceasefire deal brokered by President Donald Trump has given Ankara some breathing room – at least for now. “We welcome the news that an agreement has been reached on the establishment of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which came late last night,” Erdogan said before departing for the NATO summit in The Hague. Israel's war on Iran had put Erdogan in a tricky spot – maintaining his hostility towards Israel without damaging his ties with Trump. On Saturday, Erdogan slammed Israel, calling it a “terrorist state”, while warning that the war on Iran threatened to plunge the region into chaos. The speech, delivered in Istanbul at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, was just the latest in what has become an almost daily verbal assault on Israel. But the United States bombing of Iran just a few hours after Erdogan spoke drew little reaction from Ankara beyond a short statement expressing its “concern” over the attack. Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common ground Words versus actions Erdogan's actions have also not always matched his rhetoric.The Turkish leader resisted opposition calls to close the US-operated NATO Kurecik radar base near the Iranian border. “Turkey is not interested once again in going into conflict with America because, if you close Kurecik, then it is a NATO issue, and Israel has close relations also with NATO,” said international relations professor Huseyin Bagci of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. The Kurecik radar station, Bagci said, is important to Israeli security. “Turkey signed the acceptance (agreement) that Israel should take information from Kurecik,” Bagci added. “There is no in an article in the case of war that Turkey would not provide the information. So, this is why Erdogan, based on this fact, is not undertaking any steps against Israel.” Earlier this month, Erdogan lobbied Baghdad not to follow Tehran's calls to intercept Israeli warplanes using Iraqi airspace to strike Iran. All moves that are likely to play well with Trump. Erdogan values what Trump has called a “great friendship”. The two leaders are expected to meet for the first time since Trump's re-election on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague, where Erdogan will likely be seeking an invitation to Washington. With Turkey and Iran long-time regional rivals, competing for influence from the Caucasus to Central Asia and the Middle East, Ankara also shares the West's concerns over Tehran's nuclear programme. “Turkey definitely doesn't want a nuclear-armed Iran, because that is going to trigger a proliferation process in the Middle East,” said Serhan Afacan, head of the Center for Iranian Studies, a research organisation in Ankara. Interim president Sharaa weighs up Ankara and Riyadh in power struggle for Syria Refugee fears and regional risks The United States bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities – which Washington claims has ended Tehran's atomic programme – drew no condemnation from Ankara. But the risk of a wider conflict has raised fears of growing instability and the possibility of a refugee wave into Turkey from Iran. Trump's surprise move to broker a ceasefire between Iran and Israel will come as a relief to Ankara, said regional expert Professor Zaur Gasimov of the German Academic Exchange Service in Istanbul. He warned the ceasefire came just as signs were emerging of a refugee exodus. “What we see now is already now is the mobility of people within Iran, leaving Tehran and other bigger cities, going to different directions, that is a challenge for the entire region. And maybe Turkey is a country that is about to observe a refugee influx coming from Iran by the border,” said Gasimov. He warned Ankara is likely not prepared for such an exodus. “That is a challenge. So, Turkey is currently observing the situation with great attention, and certain answers to this challenge is not ready yet,” said Gasimov. Azerbaijan and Turkey build bridges amid declining influence of Iran Economic toll Turkey, which borders Iraq and Syria, has struggled for decades with chaos on its southern frontier. It currently hosts as many as five million refugees and has paid a heavy economic price through the loss of valuable regional markets. Ankara will likely be eyeing the potential rewards of a weakened Tehran in the long-running competition for regional influence. “A weak Iran is good for Turkey always, but not a dead Iran,” said Bagci. “Iran is important for connectivity. They [Iran] have many neighbours like Turkey. They are close to Russia, Central Asian republics, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, you name it. And the destabilisation of the region is in nobody's interest. "That is why China and Russia are very careful in their statements, and everybody is trying now for a diplomatic solution.” How long Trump's brokered ceasefire will last remains to be seen. But for Ankara, the hope is that wider regional chaos has been avoided – and that it has managed, at least for now, to balance its competing interests.

The European Union is working more closely with Turkey on defence, aiming to build military independence as fears grow over Russia and doubts linger about continued US support. Earlier this month, EU and Turkish officials met under the bloc's Common Security and Defence Policy for the first time in three years. The talks are part of a push to develop a more independent European defence system, amid concerns that a second Donald Trump presidency might weaken NATO's guarantee to protect Europe. Many see Turkey as well-placed to help meet the EU's defence goals. “We have huge potential for cooperation with Turkey,” said Federico Donelli, an international relations expert at Trieste University. He pointed out that Turkey has the second-largest army in NATO, and that “many European defence systems are in some way compatible with Turkish military hardware because the majority of EU members are NATO members”. Donelli said Turkey's fast-growing defence sector could help the EU's efforts to rearm. “Turkey is one of the emerging players in the security market. One of Turkey's key assets is producing efficiently at a lower cost compared with American or Israeli companies.” Ankara's expanding military Turkey was recently admitted to the EU's €150 billion Safety Assistance for Europe arms procurement programme. While Turkey is not yet one of the top 10 global weapons producers, it has made major advances in certain areas. It is one of the world's biggest producers of military drones and has developed a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet. Last year, Turkish company Repkon built a munitions factory in the United States using technology designed to speed up production. And this month, Turkey's drone maker Baykar signed a deal with Italy's Leonardo to develop drones together. The deal is expected to help Baykar meet EU rules that require 65 percent of the value of any arms contract to go to an EU firm. Sinan Ciddi, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, said Turkey brings valuable assets to the table. “Turkey has a vast ability not only to procure and manufacture but also to supply these, that's readily available. So, on the physical side, it's great,” said Ciddi. Concerns over Turkish politics But Turkey's position on the war in Ukraine has raised eyebrows. Ankara has kept ties with both Kyiv and Moscow, and Ciddi said this creates a dilemma for the EU. “On the political side, it puts the EU in a rather precarious position of having to rely on a country like Turkey simply because, you know, Turkey has been playing both sides of this conflict, so it's a double-edged sword,” he said. Greece and Cyprus are also worried about closer defence ties between the EU and Turkey. Both have territorial disputes with Ankara. While relations between Athens and Ankara have improved, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis insists that any defence deal with Turkey must include a clear promise to drop threats of war. Turkey has said for 30 years it might use force if Greece extends its territorial waters in the Aegean Sea. Athens says it has a legal right to do so under a UN maritime convention. Turkey has rejected the demand, saying the issue should be resolved through talks. Mitsotakis is due to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on the sidelines of this month's NATO summit. Greek, Cypriot objections sidelined Greece and Cyprus still have veto powers in the EU and have used them against Turkey in the past. But Federico Donelli said Russia's actions have changed the mood in Europe. “Nowadays, I think the priority of European countries – and the European Union as a whole – is more important than any concerns from Cyprus and Greece,” said Donelli. “I don't think they will be able to halt this process,” he added. “Honestly, the priority for European countries is security: to increase production and to cooperate with all actors who can help in the defence sector.” In a move widely seen as a way to get around Greek and Cypriot opposition, the EU has now made decisions on arms procurement subject to majority voting. Even so, Greece and Cyprus could still slow things down diplomatically. But with France and Germany pushing hard to boost Europe's defences, deeper ties with Turkey are likely to move ahead.

Since arriving in Ankara, US ambassador Tom Barrack has been thrown into the spotlight. Aside from his active role in Syria, reports indicate he is laying the groundwork for an Erdogan visit to Washington. If we take a closer look, however, the argument could also be made that he is seemingly promoting a number of Turkish positions across the board - from selling Turkey F-35s to presenting Turkey as an indispensable actor for regional stability. Now Israel's strike on Iran could throw many of these calculations up in the air. The FDD's Sinan Ciddi and Tyler Stapleton join Thanos Davelis to break all of this down.Sinan Ciddi is a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics.Tyler Stapleton serves as director of congressional relations at FDD Action.

The conflict between Pakistan and India has put Turkey's arms industry in the spotlight, exposing the limits of its much lauded drones and raising questions about whether Turkey's arms industry is a loser in this latest round of conflict. Michael Rubin, the director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into the Turkey angle to the Pakistan-India conflict, and dig into what developments on the ground tell us about Ankara's arms industry and Erdogan's ambitions to position Turkey as a military export power.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Is Turkey's Arms Industry a Loser in the India-Pakistan War?Mitsotakis highlights Greece's commitment to maritime security in UN speechGreece an ‘ideal connector' in the IMEC corridor
A decision earlier this year by authorities in the occupied northern part of Cyprus to allow headscarves in schools has led to mass protests against what many see as President Erdogan's increasing authoritarianism and a creeping Islamification from Ankara. The protests also touch on broader issues, with Turkish Cypriots expressing concerns about money laundering, crime, and a wider Russian and Iranian presence. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to break down this protest movement and look at what it says about where Turkish Cypriots stand vis-a-vis Erdogan.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkish Cypriots resist creeping IslamificationErdogan says US CAATSA sanctions on Turkey defense sector easing under TrumpGreece takes legal action over drone show advertising Adidas near AcropolisOutrage in Greece after Adidas advert shows drone shoe ‘kicking' Acropolis
