En Turquía, un equipo de arqueólogos localizó la que sería la calle más antigua del mundo, estimada en más de 10.000 años. El hallazgo ocurrió Anatolia Central. Investigadores de la Universidad de Ankara destacaron que esta estructura podría representar el inicio del concepto urbano en el periodo Neolítico. La calle tiene una forma rectangular de 1 metro de ancho por 8 metros de largo y se sitúa cronológicamente en el período precerámico, alrededor del 7450 a. C., una época en la que aún no existía una producción de cerámica.

In July Turkey hosted the 17th International Defense Industry Fair, and over 100 countries sent representatives to see what's behind all the hype around Ankara's defense industry. Despite the attention it's gotten over the last years, a lot of Ankara's new military technology remains in development and untested, posing the question: Can Turkey deliver on its defense ambitions? Ryan Gingeras, a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School and an expert on Turkish, Balkan, and Middle East history, joins Thanos Davelis as we try to answer this question.The views expressed by Professor Gingeras in this interview do not reflect the views of the US government.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Can Turkey Deliver on Its Armament Ambitions?Greece announces €1.6bn relief package to tackle population declineGreece, OpenAI agree deal to boost innovation in schools, small businesses

İstibdad rejimi yargı eliyle yeni bir siyasi operasyona imza atarak İstanbul 45. Asliye Hukuk Mahkemesi aracılığı ile CHP'nin 2023'teki İstanbul İl Kongresi'ni fiilen iptal etti. Mahkeme, kongrede seçilen İl Başkanı Özgür Çelik'i, il yönetim ve disiplin kurullarını, aynı kongrede seçilen 196 üst kurul delegesini görevden uzaklaştırdı. Tüm bu görevden almalar mahkeme tarafından yargılama daha tamamlanmadan, bir ara karar olarak ve tedbiren alındı. Bu kararların 15 Eylül'de görülecek olan CHP'nin Büyük Kurultay davasını etkileme amacı taşıdığı anlaşılıyor. Üst kurul delegelerinin görevden alınması, direkt bir sonuç doğurmasa da Ankara'da görülecek mahkemenin üzerinde “mutlak butlan” kararı alması için ek bir baskı unsuru olacak. Zira büyük kurultayın en çok delegasyonu 196 sayısı ile İstanbul'a ait.

Les membres de la « Coalition des volontaires » se sont réunis jeudi 4 septembre pour discuter des garanties à apporter à l'Ukraine en cas de cessez-le-feu avec la Russie. Vingt-six États ont affirmé leur volonté de déployer des moyens terrestres, navals ou aériens aux côtés de Kiev pour assurer une sécurité durable. Ankara est prête à jouer les premiers rôles dans le volet maritime qui prévoit la surveillance de la navigation en mer Noire, dont l'accès via les détroits turcs a été fermé au début du conflit. Entretien avec le politologue Ahmet Insel, auteur de « La Nouvelle Turquie d'Erdogan, du rêve démocratique à la dérive autoritaire », La Découverte.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned of military action against the Syrian Democratic Forces over its failure to honour an agreement to merge its military with the new regime in Damascus. In a move steeped in symbolism, Turkey's leader chose recent celebrations marking the Ottoman Turks' defeat of the Byzantine Christians at the Battle of Malazgirt in 1071 to issue an ultimatum to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). "Those who turn to Ankara and Damascus will win," Erdogan bellowed to thousands of supporters on 26 August. "If the sword is unsheathed, there will be no room left for pens and words." Turkey, a strong ally of Syria, has a military presence in the country and the two governments recently signed a defence training agreement. But Turkey is unhappy with the presence of the SDF, a coalition of Kurdish and Arab forces, which controls a large swathe of Syria bordering Turkey's own predominantly Kurdish region. Peace or politics? Turkey's fragile path to ending a decades-long conflict Buying time The SDF is affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has for years been fighting Turkey for greater Kurdish minority rights. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. But Ankara is engaged in a peace process with the Kurdish militants, who have committed to disbanding. However, Kurdish analyst Mesut Yegen, of the TIM think tank in Istanbul, says the disarmament process would be limited to Kurds from Turkey, and doesn't include SDF forces in Syria. Erdogan is now ramping up pressure on the SDF to honour an agreement its leader Mazloum Abdi signed in March with Syria's new President, Ahmed Al Sharaa, to merge his military forces with the new regime in Damascus. The deal is backed by the US, which has a military force in the SDF-controlled region as part of its war against the Islamic State. But, according to Fabrice Balanche from Lyon University: "The SDF has no intention of implementing the agreement made in March. Mazloum just wanted to gain time." Balanche points out that Abdi's SDF is a staunchly secular organisation and remains deeply suspicious of Sharaa's jihadist connections. Recent attacks on Syria's Druze minority by forces linked to Sharaa appear to confirm the SDF's fears over merging with the Damascus regime, says Balanche. Syria's interim president vows justice for Druze after deadly clashes 'Israel would like a weak Syria' At the same time, Erdogan is aware that the emergence of an autonomous Kurdish state on its border could be exploited by its rival Israel, which is looking for non-Arab allies in the region. Aydin Selcen, a former senior Turkish diplomat and an analyst for Turkey's Mediyascope news outlet, said: "Strategically, Israel would like a weak Syria, a weak Damascus, a weak Beirut and a weak Tehran." Turkey has carried out military incursions against the SDF, and its forces remain massed on the border. But Balanche says American presence there will likely deter any new Turkish military action. However, he warns that Ankara could seek to fuel Kurdish Arab rivalries within the SDF, with the fall of former ruler Bashar al-Assad last December. Turkey walks a fine line as conflict between Israel and Iran cools "It is different now, you have a Sunni leader in Damascus, and many [Arab] tribes, many people, prefer to join Damascus," he explained. "So the risk is a proxy war. Of course, for the new regime, it would be a disaster. If you have no peace, you have no investment, you have no trust." The dilemma facing Ankara is that any new conflict against the SDF would likely weaken the Sharaa regime – a key ally.

Turkey is facing a growing global problem: a declining birth rate. The number of babies being born reached an all-time low in 2024, of 1.48 children born per woman - that's well below the replacement level of 2.10. The country's President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is calling the drop in fertility rate "a disaster" and has declared 2025 the "Year of the Family", promising incentives for parents. President Erdoğan is focusing on saving traditional family values, which he says are under threat, and is encouraging women to have at least three children. However, many in Turkey say it is the faltering economy - with inflation at around 35% - that is making it impossible to grow their families.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, you can email us: businessdaily@bbc.co.uk Presented and produced by Emily Wither with Zeynep Bilginsoy(Picture: A mother holds her baby during a visit to Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Turkish Republic's Founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk on National Sovereignty and Children's Day, a national holiday dedicated to children, in Ankara.

Dışişleri Bakanı Hakan Fidan, İsrail'in Gazze saldırısı, Filistin halkına yaptığı soykırım ve zulüm ile kıtlık politikaları ve bölgede var olan güncel durumu görüşmek üzere olağanüstü toplanan TBMM Genel Kuruluna hitap etti.

Jewish Policy Center Senior Director Shoshana Bryen hosted Professor Mark Meirowitz, a foreign policy and Turkey expert from SUNY Maritime College, for a deep dive into Ankara's growing regional role, its involvement in Syria's evolution, and its increasingly fraught relationship with Israel. With characteristic clarity and urgency, Prof. Meirowitz broke down the labyrinth of regional alliances and rivalries, calling the situation “literally mind-boggling” and comparing Syria to a “petri dish for chaos.” HTS, Al-Shara, and the Shake-up in Syria The ousting of Bashar Assad by the jihadist group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Ahmed al-Shara (also known as al-Jolani), marks a significant shift in Syria's power structure—and possibly the region's. Once associated with al-Qaeda and ISIS, al-Jolani now wears suits and promotes a veneer of moderation. “Maybe the Turks provided him with some of these outfits,” Meirowitz quipped, questioning the authenticity of his transformation. Al-Jolani was “boosted by” Turkish support, Meirowitz explained, calling him a Turkish client rather than an independent actor. HTS's limited control—bolstered by foreign fighters like Uyghurs—has led to violent, sectarian repression, particularly against Alawites, Druze, Christians, and Kurds. “We're with al-Shara, and a lot of people are depending on him,” Meirowitz said ominously. Turkey's Interests: Stabilizing Syria to Serve Domestic Needs Turkey's involvement, Meirowitz stressed, is strategic. With over 3 million Syrian refugees inside its borders, Ankara is pressuring Damascus to stabilize and repatriate them. “The Turks want them back to Syria,” he said, noting the domestic strain and political sensitivity of the refugee crisis. Turkey has walked a fine line—signing infrastructure and defense agreements with HTS-controlled Syria while avoiding giving it full military autonomy. “Turkey's position is that Al-Shara is the go-to person… Let al-Shara unify the country,” Meirowitz explained. But internal Kurdish dynamics—particularly involving PKK, now in peace talks with Erdogan's government—make full alignment with HTS and Syrian Kurds tenuous. Will Turkey's NATO Membership Complicate It All? One of the more sobering insights from Meirowitz was the hypothetical scenario of Turkey, a NATO power, declaring a no-fly zone over Syria—potentially triggering Article 5 protections if hostilities break out with Israel. “That, to me, is the number one worry… that Israel and Turkey would come to conflict,” he warned. He emphasized the ongoing “deconfliction meetings” between Israel and Turkey, and Israel and Syria—possibly triangulating with al-Jolani himself. But of all the moving parts, Meirowitz emphasized Turkey's NATO status remains a critical leverage point: “Let's be realistic here. If there was a skirmish…Article 5 could be on the table.” Humanitarian Crises and Jihadi Control: Who is Really Running Syria? The ongoing massacres of minorities, particularly the Druze in Suweida, raise urgent questions about al-Jolani's power. “Has he lost control over the jihadis in his own ranks?” Meirowitz pondered, highlighting the grim possibility of Syria spiraling toward becoming a full-blown jihadi state. “The optics are totally opposed to [the idea of moderation],” he said, noting public executions and forced beard-shaving of Druze men as disturbing parallels to Nazi visual propaganda. “Clearly, this is reprehensible. The United States isn’t going to stand for it,” he added, referring to conditional American Congressional support for lifting sanctions on Syria.  Erdogan's Domestic Calculations: Kurds, Elections, and Power Turning inward, Turkey's President Erdoğan is eyeing another term in 2028. Despite constitutional term limits, he may seek early elections or amendments—with the support of Kurdish parliamentarians. “He’s very popular in Turkey,” Meirowitz said, crediting Erdoğan's projection of Turkey as a global power broker. “Turkey's been made into a player on the world stage.” However, he noted Turkey's lira is down, inflation is high, and economic growth is tenuous beneath the surface. This tension is compounded by Erdoğan's crackdown on political opponents, including jailing rivals and invalidating degrees to prevent candidacies. The Bigger Stage: Turkey in Africa, NATO, and the UN Turkey's ambitions extend far beyond Syria. From military expansion in Africa to attempting alignment with BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Ankara aims to diversify its global relevance. “They see themselves as undervalued,” noted Meirowitz. “It's not aggrandizement—it's coming from a feeling of being ignored.” Erdogan's call that “the world is bigger than five” is a veiled critique of the UN Security Council's permanent members—hinting at Turkey's desire for global restructuring that reflects its new stature. “They're trying to flex their muscles,” as one webinar participant insightfully noted.  Israel, Hamas, and the Limits of Pragmatism Meirowitz criticized Turkey's staunch support for Hamas and Hezbollah, calling it “a rabbit hole of disaster.” While support for Palestinian causes earns Erdogan domestic points, it's constraining Turkey's global relationships. “If everybody's a freedom fighter, that doesn't fly,” he said. At times, Israel and Turkey have found pragmatic partnership—like continued trade and oil transits during Syria's civil war—but the anti-Israel posture, sanctions, and rhetoric place those gains at risk. “We need to get together,” Meirowitz relayed from a Turkish businessman. “We like the same things… same food… same values.” Final Thoughts: Cautious Optimism, But Beware the Fault Lines In his closing remarks, Prof. Meirowitz struck a “guarded optimism” tone for Turkey's trajectory. “I believe Turkish leadership is going to give further thought to these directions,” he said, hoping Ankara will reconsider its Hamas alliance for more fruitful cooperation with Israel and the West. Bryen offered sober context: “Israel and Iran were friends once, too—until they weren't.” As Prof. Meirowitz put it, “Hamas is not a future for Turkey.” As the region’s political tectonics keep shifting, one question looms: Will Turkey's pragmatism prevail over ideology—or will ambition lead it down a path of strategic overreach? The answer, as Bryen put it, remains a moving thread.

Ankara, Suriye'de ton yükseltiyor. Önce Şam yönetimi Türkiye'den resmi destek talebinde bulundu. (“Ankara masaya silah koydu” diye yorumlamıştık, 25 Temmuz.) Daha sonra Dışişleri Bakanı Fidan'ın “Artık tolere etmekte zorlandığımız gelişmeleri görmeye başlıyoruz” uyarısı geldi. Aynı gün (13 Ağustos), Türkiye-Suriye askeri mutabakat muhtırası imzalandı.

Maret is verhuisd naar Ankara en daarom nemen we weer op vanuit de online studio! Speciale dank aan haar Turkse buurvrouw, want dankzij haar konden we met een supersnelle verbinding opnemen ;-)De eerste twee trainingsweken zitten er alweer op in Ankara. Google Translate draait overuren op Maret's telefoon, want in het team wordt nauwelijks Engels gesproken. De clubauto is inmiddels binnen, maar de broodnodige airco laat nog even op zich wachten…We staan ook stil bij het eerste profcontract van de 16-jarige voetbalster Skye Stout. Toen haar nieuwe club Kilmarnock haar aankondigde op social media, moest de post na korte tijd offline worden gehaald door de golf aan haat- en pestcomments. Daar hebben we uiteraard een mening over, want weten we nog hoe Cristiano Ronaldo er in zijn jongere jaren uitzag?Verder blikken we terug op de eerste WK-wedstrijd van onze volleybaldames én voorspellen we wie de nieuwe wereldkampioen wordt.

La Hora Global se detiene en una de las piezas más delicadas del tablero geopolítico del Cáucaso Sur: el Corredor de Zanguezur. Este corredor, que atravesaría la provincia armenia de Syunik, conectaría directamente a Azerbaiyán con su enclave de Najicheván y, por extensión, con Turquía.Pero más allá de la geografía, lo que está en juego son intereses estratégicos y energéticos. Para Bakú, el corredor significa una ruta terrestre vital que consolidaría su influencia y fortalecería la conexión con Ankara. Para Armenia, en cambio, representa un riesgo a su soberanía territorial, pues teme que el paso se convierta en un factor de presión constante.La cuestión involucra a Rusia, Irán y la Unión Europea, cada uno con intereses cruzados en transporte, energía y seguridad. Así, el Corredor Zanguezur no es solo un camino: es un símbolo de poder, integración regional y, al mismo tiempo, de tensiones no resueltas tras la guerra de Nagorno Karabaj.En este programa analizaremos qué significa este corredor, quién gana y quién pierde con su apertura, y por qué se ha transformado en un punto crítico de la geopolítica actual.

Turkish armed forces could play a major role in securing any peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. For Ankara, this would be a chance to reassert itself at a time when many fear it is being sidelined by Western allies. European and US military chiefs last week reportedly presented ideas to their national security advisers on how to guarantee Ukraine's security if there is a peace deal with Russia. The discussions followed a summit of European leaders in Washington with US President Donald Trump on ending the conflict. "It's going to be a big challenge, but they will find ways of tackling that challenge without the US troops on the ground," said Serhat Guvenc, professor of international relations at Istanbul's Kadir Has University. "It will be a novelty because Europe has never carried out any peacekeeping or stabilization operation of this magnitude before." Turkey, with NATO's second-largest army, is seen as a possible option. "Turkey is an option, you know. And it seems that there is some talk of Turkish contribution," Guvenc added. Armenia and Azerbaijan peace deal raises hopes of Turkish border reopening Ankara signals readiness On the same day, French President Emmanuel Macron held a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss Ukraine's security. Ankara has already signalled it could take part in monitoring any peace deal, but Moscow's approval would be necessary. "If the parties agree, Turkey may send our troops to peacekeeping operations," said Mesut Casin, a former presidential adviser and professor at Istanbul's Yeditepe University. Casin pointed to Turkey's past record in UN operations. "Turkey joined many UN peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia, Somalia, and Korea, and in many other peacekeeping operations. The Turkish army is very powerful," he said. "Also, remember Putin is talking many times with Erdogan, and at the same time, Zelensky is visiting Ankara." Turkey and Italy boost cooperation in bid to shape Libya's political future Balancing Moscow and Kyiv Since the start of the war, Erdogan has kept good relations with both Russia and Ukraine. Ankara has refused to apply most international sanctions on Moscow, while at the same time selling vital military hardware to Kyiv. That balancing act has raised questions among European partners. "Turkey ought to have been at the Washington meeting," said Soli Ozel, an international relations scholar at the Institute for Human Studies in Vienna. Even though Turkey borders both Ukraine and Russia, Erdogan was excluded from this month's summit between Trump and European leaders. "The fact that it wasn't backs the observation that the bigger players or the major partners are not bringing Turkey center stage, they're sidelining it," Ozel added. Despite this, Ankara remains strategically important. "They keep it in the play, it's important because if you're going to need troops, you're going to need Turkey. If you're going to talk about the Black Sea security, you need Turkey. And so you cannot really dismiss Turkey," Ozel said. But he warned that mistrust is limiting Ankara's role. "You're not making it part of the process that will hopefully lead to a conclusion or a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia. There is a lack of trust, and I think that has something to do with the way Turkey has conducted its diplomacy," Ozel said. Peace or politics? Turkey's fragile path to ending a decades-long conflict Doubts over influence Some analysts suggest Ankara hopes Europe's reliance on Turkish forces or its navy for Black Sea security could help restore influence. But others see limited gains. "There is no automatic increase in Turkey's influence and credibility as a result of taking part in such operations," said Guvenc. "It does have a certain impact, but on the other hand, such contributions do not change other Western partners' views of Turkey." Rather than a reset with Europe, Guvenc sees a continuation of the current dynamic. "What might happen is yet another manifestation of transactionalism on both sides. And if Turkey contributes to peacekeeping in Ukraine, probably President Erdogan expects concrete benefits that will help him manage the deteriorating economic situation in Turkey. "Therefore, you cannot build a comprehensive and sustainable relationship built on that transactionalism on both sides."

The signing of a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington has raised hopes of ending decades of conflict and reopening Turkey's border with Armenia. The deal, brokered by US President Donald Trump, commits both countries to respect each other's territorial integrity – the issue at the centre of bloody wars. The agreement is seen as paving the way for Turkey to restore diplomatic ties with Armenia. "Ankara has been promising that once there is a peace agreement, it will open the border," says Asli Aydintasbas, of the Washington-based Brookings Institution. "There was a brief period in the post-Soviet era when it [the border] was opened, but that was quickly shut again due to the Armenian-Azeri tensions." Aydintasbas says reopening the border could have wide-reaching consequences. "Armenia and Turkey opening their border and starting trade would be a historical moment in terms of reconciliation between these two nations, which have very bitter historic memories," she adds. "But beyond that, it would help Armenia economically because it's a landlocked country entirely dependent on Russia for its protection and its economy." Turning point In June, Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul. The meeting was seen as a turning point in relations long overshadowed by the memory of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, which Ankara still officially denies. "There's now a degree of personal chemistry between the Armenian prime minister and Erdogan. This was seen in a June historic meeting, the first ever bilateral contact, a face-to-face meeting," says Richard Giragosian, director of the Regional Studies Centre, a think tank in Yerevan. Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 after ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan seized the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. The enclave was retaken by Azerbaijani forces in 2022. Giragosian says the peace deal, along with warmer ties between Pashinyan and Erdogan, could now help Yerevan reach a long-sought goal. "In the longer perspective for Turkey and Armenia, this is about going beyond the South Caucasus. It's about Central Asia. It's about European markets, potentially a new Iran in the future," he says. Erdogan congratulated Pashinyan on Monday over the deal, but made no official pledge on reopening the border. That decision may lie with Azerbaijan's president, Ilham Aliyev. "They [Ankara] will be looking to Baku. Baku is basically able to tell Turkey not to move on normalisation with Armenia, not to open the border," says Aydintasbas. "Part of the reason is that Turkey has developed an economic dependency on Azerbaijan, which is the top investor in Turkey. In other words, little brother is calling the shots, and I think that Ankara, to an extent, does not like it, but has come to appreciate the economic benefits of its relationship with Azerbaijan." Azerbaijani demands on Armenia Azerbaijan is also pushing for changes to Armenia's constitution, which it claims makes territorial claims on Nagorno-Karabakh. "The Armenian constitution refers to the Declaration of Independence of Armenia, which has a clear clause on the unification with Armenia, with Nagorno-Karabakh," says Farid Shafiyev of the Centre for Analysis of International Relations, a Baku-based think tank. Shafiyev warned that without reform, the peace deal could unravel. "Let's say, imagine Pashinyan losing elections, a new person says: 'You know, everything which was signed was against the Armenian constitution.' For us, it is important that the Armenian people vote for the change of the constitution," Shafiyev says. Analysts note that changing the constitution would require a referendum with more than 50 percent turnout – a difficult and time-consuming process. Time, however, may be running short. Russia is seen as the biggest loser from lasting peace in the Caucasus. For decades Moscow exploited the conflict to play Armenia and Azerbaijan against each other. Pashinyan is now seeking to move away from Russian dominance and closer to Europe. Giragosian warned that Armenia's window of opportunity is limited. "There is a closing window of opportunity – that is Russia's distraction with everything in Ukraine. We do expect a storm on the horizon, with an angry, vengeful Putin reasserting or attempting to regain Russia's lost power and influence in the region." Weakening Russia's grip remains key, he adds. "Armenia, after all, is still a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, the Russian-dominated trade bloc. "But it's also a country that has a Russian military base. Russia still manages the Armenian railway network, for example. This is why, for Armenia, the real key here is going to be Turkey and normalising relations with Turkey." At present, Armenia's only open land borders are with Georgia and Iran – both close to Russia. Opening the Turkish border would give Armenia a vital new route, while also benefiting Turkey's economically depressed border region. But for now, Azerbaijan may seek further concessions before allowing any breakthrough.

Turkey and Italy are working more closely on migration, energy and regional influence as they seek to shape Libya's political future. Both see the North African country as a key shared interest and are moving to consolidate their positions in the conflict-torn but energy-rich eastern Mediterranean. Earlier this month, the leaders of Italy, Turkey and Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA) met in a tripartite summit – the latest sign of growing cooperation between the three Mediterranean nations. “Turkey and Italy have both differing interests, but interests in Libya,” explains international relations professor Huseyin Bagcı of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “Particularly, the migration issue and illegal human trafficking are big problems for Italy, and most of the people are coming from there [Libya], so they try to prevent the flow of migrants. "But for Turkey, it's more economic. And Libya is very much interested in keeping the relations with both countries.” Turkey and Italy consider teaming up to seek new influence in Africa Migration, legitimacy concerns Turkey is the main backer of Libya's GNA and still provides military assistance, which was decisive in defeating the rival eastern-based forces led by strongman Khalifa Haftar. An uneasy ceasefire holds between the two sides. Libya security analyst Aya Burweilla said Turkey is seeking Italy's support to legitimise the Tripoli government, as questions grow over its democratic record. “What it means for the Tripoli regime is very positive. This is a regime that has dodged elections for years," she says. "Their job was to have democratic elections, and one of their ways to make sure they stay in power was to get foreign sponsors, like Turkey... Now, with this rubber stamp from Meloni in Italy, they can keep the status quo going at the expense of Libyans.” Years of civil war and political chaos have turned Libya into a major hub for people smugglers. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, elected on a pledge to curb irregular migration, sees stability in Libya as key to that goal. “The migration issue has become very, very urgent in general for Europe, but of course for Italy too,” says Alessia Chiriatti of the Institute of International Affairs, a think tank in Rome. Trump and Erdogan grow closer as cooperation on Syria deepens Mediterranean ambitions Chiriatti said Meloni's partnership with Turkey in Libya also reflects broader foreign policy goals. “There is another dimension – I think it's directly related to the fact that Italy and Meloni's government want to play a different role in foreign policy in the Mediterranean space," she says. "Italy is starting to see Africa as a possible partner to invest in … But what is important is that Italy is starting to see itself as a new player, both in the Mediterranean space and in Africa, so in this sense, it could have important cooperation with Turkey.” She points out that both Italy and Turkey share a colonial past in Libya. That legacy, combined with the lure of Libya's vast energy reserves, continues to shape their diplomacy. Ending the split between Libya's rival governments is seen as vital for stability. Moscow's reduced military support for Haftar, as it focuses on its war in Ukraine, is viewed in Ankara as an opening. “Russia is nearly out, and what remains are Turkey and Italy,” says Bagcı. He added that Ankara is making overtures to the eastern authorities through Haftar's son Saddam, a senior figure in the Libyan military. “The son of Haftar is coming very often to Ankara, making talks. It's an indication of potential changes... But how the deal will look like I don't know, we will see later. But it's an indication of potential cooperation, definitely.” Turkey steps into EU defence plans as bloc eyes independence from US Shifting alliances Libya was discussed when Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Saturday. Sisi backs Haftar's eastern government. Libya had been a source of tension between Turkey and Egypt, but with relations thawing, both say they will work together on the country's future. Turkey's position in Libya is strengthening, says Burweilla. “Saddam is pro-Turkey – there is a huge difference between son and father – and the younger generation is pro-Turkey,” she says. Such support, Burweilla said, stems from Ankara allowing Libyans to seek sanctuary in Turkey from fighting in 2011, when NATO forces led by France and the United Kingdom militarily intervened against Muammar Gaddafi's regime. “I think the Europeans underestimated the political capital that gave Turkey. Turkey is winning the game in Libya,” Burweilla says. She adds that Ankara's rising influence is also due to a shift in tactics towards the east. “What they [Ankara] realised was that you can't conquer the east of Libya by force; they tried and they failed. And the Turkish regime is very much motivated by business... They don't care about anything else, and they've realised they want to make a business," Burweilla says. They've reached out more to the east, and the east, in turn, has realised that if they don't want to be attacked by Turkey and its mercenaries, they need to make peace with Turkey as well.”

Il y a huit mois, le 8 décembre 2024, une coalition de rebelles syriens prenait le pouvoir à Damas, mettant fin à un demi-siècle de règne de la famille Assad. Ravagée par onze ans de guerre, la Syrie d'aujourd'hui affronte d'immenses défis. Une grande partie de sa population vit en exil, notamment en Turquie, qui a accueilli jusqu'à quatre millions de réfugiés. Depuis l'instauration d'un nouveau régime à Damas, une petite partie d'entre eux a fait le choix de rentrer en Syrie. Mais la très grande majorité continue à vivre en Turquie, tiraillée entre le désir de retrouver leur pays et les doutes sur son avenir. De notre correspondante à Ankara, Cette voix rieuse au bout du fil, c'est celle de Hibe, Syrienne réfugiée en Turquie, le 8 décembre 2024, matin de la chute de Bachar el-Assad. « S'il y a quelque chose au-delà du bonheur, c'est ça que je ressens. J'ignore comment et par qui notre pays va être dirigé maintenant. Mais peu importe, puisque le tyran est parti. Nous, inch'Allah, nous allons rentrer très bientôt », espérait-elle alors. Près de huit mois plus tard, Hibe est toujours là, assise dans la cafétéria d'une clinique d'Ankara où elle vient juste d'être embauchée comme traductrice. Elle explique qu'elle est tiraillée entre son cœur qui lui dit de partir et sa tête qui lui dit de rester. « Jamais, je n'aurais imaginé qu'il serait si difficile de prendre la décision de rentrer en Syrie. Mais les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes. La Syrie n'est pas un lieu sûr. Israël a bombardé Damas, il y a eu les violences à Soueïda. Quand on voit ça, comment rentrer ? Comment rentrer avec des enfants ? La plupart des Syriens en exil pensent comme moi. Avec un groupe d'amis, on s'était dit qu'on rentrerait cet été, pendant les vacances scolaires. Finalement, personne n'est parti, à part un seul de mes amis. Il m'a appelé d'Alep l'autre jour. Il m'a dit : "Hibe, ne viens pas, surtout pas" », confie-t-elle. À Alep, où elle est née, qu'elle a quitté il y a 13 ans, Hibe n'a plus rien. Sa maison est détruite, toute sa famille a fui. En Turquie, elle a un logement, un travail et surtout deux enfants, nés et scolarisés ici. Et puis son mari, Syrien, vit en Autriche depuis trois ans. Il y a l'espoir, même très mince, qu'il parvienne à les faire venir. À 31 ans, Hibe voudrait enfin regarder devant elle. « Je suis fatiguée, j'ai l'impression que notre avenir n'a jamais été aussi incertain. Combien de fois dans une vie peut-on repartir de zéro ? », s'interroge-t-elle. Selon les autorités turques, environ 300 000 Syriens sont rentrés de leur plein gré depuis la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad, contre 2,7 millions qui vivent toujours dans le pays. Trois cent mille, c'est relativement peu, mais cela ne surprend pas Burçak Sel, cofondatrice de Dünya Evimiz, une association d'aide aux réfugiés à Ankara. « Même si la Syrie a un dirigeant et un pouvoir qui la représentent, il y a aussi un grand vide d'autorité. Le pays n'est pas sous contrôle. Les besoins élémentaires en eau, électricité, logement ne sont pas garantis. Il faudra des années pour réparer et retrouver la stabilité. Les Syriens le savent, c'est pour ça qu'ils restent en Turquie alors même que leurs conditions de vie, à cause de l'inflation et du racisme, y sont de plus en plus difficiles. » Burçak Sel estime qu'Ankara devra trouver un nouveau statut pour les Syriens qui restent, la loi actuelle ne leur accordant qu'une « protection temporaire ». C'est notamment le cas de 1,3 million d'enfants, dont l'immense majorité est née en Turquie et n'a jamais vu la Syrie.

Over the past month we've seen a battle of maps in the Eastern Mediterranean, with the Tripoli-based government in Libya, backed by Turkey, raising the temperature with Greece. Thanos Davelis brings on Constantinos Filis, the director of the Institute of Global Affairs and a professor of international relations at the American College of Greece, as we dig into Greece's Libya conundrum and break down whether it's time for Athens - given Ankara's role here - to rethink its Turkey strategy.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece's tricky Libyan balancing actTime for Athens to rethink its Turkey strategyWarming waters transforming Greece's seasGreece condemns Turkey's marine parks as ‘unacceptable, unilateral and illegal'

Ankara is aiming to dodge President Donald Trump's threat of sanctions against countries that trade with Russia. While Turkey is the third largest importer of Russian goods, it has largely escaped international sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. However, with Trump vowing to get tough with Moscow if it fails to make peace with Kyiv, that could change. “I am going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today," Trump declared at a press conference on 28 July during his visit to Scotland. "There is no reason to wait 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we don't see any progress being made.”  The American president admitted his efforts to end the Ukraine war had failed and that his patience with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, was at an end. Turkish President Erdogan ready to rekindle friendship with Trump   Trump later confirmed 8 August as the date for the new measures. With US-Russian trade down 90 percent since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump warned that other countries importing Russian goods would also be hit by secondary sanctions. “If you take his [Trump] promises at face value, then he should look at all countries that import any Russian commodities that is of primary importance to the Russian budget - this includes, of course, crude oil, and here you have China and India mostly,” explained George Voloshin of Acams, a global organisation dedicated to anti-financial crime, training and education. Voloshin also claims that Turkey could be a target as well. “In terms of petroleum products, Turkey is one of the big importers. It also refines Russian petroleum in its own refineries," Voloshin added. "Turkey imports lots of Russian gas through the TurkStream pipeline. Turkey is very much dependent on Russian gas and Russian petroleum products." Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common ground   Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ankara insists it is only bound by United Nations sanctions. Last year, Turkey was Russia's third-largest export market, with Russian natural gas accounting for more than  40 percent of its energy needs. Putin has used Turkey's lack of meaningful domestic energy reserves and dependence on Russian gas to develop a close relationship with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “Putin knows that no matter what Trump wants, Turkey is not going to act in any military or sanctions capacity against Russia and Iran. You know, these are Turkey's red lines. We can't do it,” said analyst Atilla Yeşilada of Global Source Partners. “Trump is 10,000 miles away. These people are our neighbours,” added Yeşilada. “So Putin doesn't think of Turkey as a threat, but as an economic opportunity, and perhaps as a way to do things with the West that he doesn't want to do directly.” Ankara is performing a delicate balancing act. While maintaining trading ties with Russia, Erdoğan remains a strong supporter of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Turkey is a major arms seller to Ukraine, while at the same time, Erdoğan continues to try and broker peace between the warring parties. Last month, Istanbul was the venue for Russian–Ukrainian talks for the second time in as many months. Such efforts drew the praise of Trump. Trump and Erdogan grow closer as cooperation on Syria deepens Trump's pressure mounts on energy and trade The American president has made no secret of his liking for Erdoğan, even calling him a friend. Such close ties, along with Turkey's regional importance to Washington, analysts say, is a factor in Ankara's Western allies turning a blind eye to its ongoing trade with Russia. “I think Turkey has got a pass on several levels from Russian sanctions,” observed regional expert Sinan Ciddi of the Washington-based think tank the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. However, Ciddi cautions that Trump remains unpredictable and that previous actions are no guarantee for the future. “Past experience is not an indicator of future happenings. We just don't know what Trump will demand. This is not a fully predictive administration in Washington,” Ciddi said. “We do know right now that he [Trump] is very unhappy with Putin. He blames Putin for prolonging the Ukraine war,” added Ciddi. Change of stance "And if he feels sufficiently upset, there is a possibility that no waivers will be granted to any country. Turkey will be up against a very, very unappetising and unenviable set of choices to make.” Trump has successfully lobbied the European Union to increase its purchases of American liquefied natural gas (LNG), replacing Russian imports. Similar demands could put Ankara in a difficult position. “If Trump pressures Turkey not to buy Russian natural gas, that would definitely be a huge shock,” warned Yeşilada. “Trump might say, for instance: 'Buy energy from me or whatever.' But I don't think we're there yet. There is no way Turkey can replace Russian gas.” However, Trump could point to Turkey's recent expansion of its LNG facilities, which now include five terminals and have excess capacity to cover Russian imports, although storage facilities remain a challenge. Turkey's energy infrastructure is also built around receiving Russian energy, and any shift to American energy would likely be hugely disruptive and expensive, at a time when the Turkish economy is in crisis. Putin retains another energy card over Erdoğan. A Russian company is building a huge nuclear power plant in Turkey, which could account for 20 percent of the country's energy needs. Ciddi argues Erdoğan is now paying the price of over-relying on Russia. Turkey's Erdogan sees new Trump presidency as opportunity “There is no need to have resorted to making Ankara this dependent on natural gas, nuclear energy, or for that matter bilateral trade. This was a choice by Erdoğan,” said Ciddi. “The fact it is so dependent on so many levels in an almost unique way is something that Turkey will have to rethink.” But for now, Erdoğan will likely be relying on his expertise in diplomatic balancing acts, along with his close ties to Trump and Turkey's importance to Washington's regional goals, to once again escape the worst of any sanctions over Russian trade – although Trump may yet extract a price for such a concession.

« 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.

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

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."

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
