For years, the US has had an unshakable, yet unreasonable assumption: that Ankara is a normal ally. Washington has operated from this point of view even in the face of contradictory evidence, and has looked to avoid public disputes while pretending that disagreements are trivial. Instead, as Prof. Henri Barkey argues in Foreign Affairs, the US needs to meet Erdogan's provocative unpredictability with consistency and firmness. Henri Barkey, the Cohen Professor of International Relations at Lehigh University and Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to explain why Washington needs a new approach to dealing with Turkey and President Erdogan, and why now is a unique opportunity to change the relationship dramatically. Read Henri Barkey's latest in Foreign Affairs: Erdogan the SurvivorYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:A billion euros for ThessalyLong-term economic effects of storm emerge as waters recedeUS says it expects Albania to respect due process in Beleri caseBeleri case referred to trial

La Turquie, au carrefour des «nouvelles routes de la soie»

Grand reportage

Cinquième épisode de notre série « nouvelles routes de la soie, dix ans après ». La Turquie occupe une place centrale, entre l'Europe et l'Orient. La Chine l'a bien compris en investissant massivement dans ce pays. Un partenariat qui lui est souvent avantageux. Mais le Covid-19 et la guerre en Ukraine ont rebattu les cartes.  Il faut traverser le Bosphore, détroit qui relie la mer Noire à la mer de Marmara, pour se rendre d'une rive à l'autre d'Istanbul. La plus grande ville de Turquie est à cheval entre le continent européen et asiatique. Côté européen, dans le quartier historique de Sultanahmet, les touristes chinois ont refait leur apparition après le Covid. Ils visitent Sainte-Sophie, le Palais de Topkapi ou encore le grand bazar. En se perdant dans ses ruelles bordées d'échoppes colorées, on trouve des traces ancestrales de la présence chinoise.La boutique d'antiquités d'Adnan, 40 ans de métier, renferme plus d'un trésor dont deux vases anciens en porcelaine de Chine, bleue et blanche. « Ils datent du XIXè siècle-début XXè, raconte le vendeur, et servaient à transporter de l'eau de zamzam, l'eau sacrée de la Mecque en Arabie saoudite. Les Chinois ont beaucoup produit de céramique blanche et bleue à partir du XVè siècle pour le palais de Topkapi, où se trouve encore aujourd'hui la collection la plus importante et la plus luxueuse au monde de porcelaine blanche et bleue datant de la période Ming », assure Adnan. De la porcelaine chinoise pour le sultan qui vivait dans le palais de Topkapi, à l'époque où Istanbul s'appelait encore Constantinople. Il fallait pour acheminer ces trésors, emprunter les routes terrestres de la soie avant qu'elles ne soient progressivement supplantées par les voies maritimes.Le port de Kumport, près d'Istanbul, racheté par les ChinoisAujourd'hui, la Chine envoie toujours une partie de ses produits par la mer vers la Turquie, passage obligatoire entre l'Orient et l'Occident. Et pour assurer ses débouchés, elle s'est même payé le luxe d'acheter le troisième port de marchandises en Turquie: Kumport, à une heure d'Istanbul. L'armateur chinois Cosco en a fait l'acquisition en 2015, en rachetant 65% des parts. Depuis, le port fonctionne à plein régime, voire au-delà de ses capacités, selon Hakan Yakupoglü, responsable des douanes pour l'entreprise de fret maritime Narin. «  Presque toutes les entreprises chinoises utilisent le port de Kumport, 80 à 90% des bateaux arrivent ici », explique-t-il, devant un ballet incessant de camions transportant des conteneurs. « Cela crée une suractivité qui peut ralentir l'arrivée et l'envoi de conteneurs, avec des retards de 2 ou 3 jours parfois ».Les marchandises chinoises arrivent en Turquie par bateau, sur ce port racheté par les Chinois, mais pas seulement. Dans le cadre des « nouvelles routes de la soie » lancées, il y a 10 ans, par le président Xi Jinping, la Chine a investi dans des voies ferrées, des autoroutes, des ponts. « Pékin veut profiter de la place centrale de la Turquie pour rayonner en Méditerranée orientale », résume Tolga Bilener, spécialiste de la Chine au département de relations internationales de l'Université Galatasaray d'Istanbul, et toucher un marché turc fort de 85 millions de consommateurs  ». Les échanges commerciaux ont bondi, passant de 10 milliards de dollars en 2010 à 45 milliards de dollars aujourd'hui, selon le chercheur, faisant de la Chine le troisième partenaire commercial de la Turquie, mais avec un net avantage pour les entreprises chinoises qui exportent bien davantage de produits qu'elles n'en importent.La Chine, troisième partenaire commercial de la TurquiePour s'en rendre en compte, il suffit de se rendre au salon Beauty Eurasia, qui a eu lieu mi-juin près d'Istanbul. Les exposants chinois sont venus en force et ils vendent de tout : des emballages pour cosmétiques, des faux ongles, et des équipements laser. Ces machines multifonctions qui épilent, réduisent la cellulite et enlèvent les tatouages, sont fabriquées en Chine, explique sur son stand Rock Duan, directeur des ventes de Perfect laser : « En Chine, nous avons des usines qui fabriquent tous les composants pour ce genre de machines, des ingénieurs qui ont un savoir-faire de 10 à 20 ans, et des coûts de fabrications moins élevés, ce sont des avantages ». L'entreprise cherche des distributeurs en Turquie, un marché avec une population importante. Le pays occupe également une place centrale « proche du Moyen-Orient et de l'Europe, en plein milieu ! », précise-t-il.Sohar qui travaille à la tête de Nikarich system, un distributeur de ce genre de machines en Turquie s'intéresse de près aux produits chinois : « Nous utilisons beaucoup de produits chinois en Turquie, car malheureusement les équipements qui viennent d'Europe ou d'Amérique sont trop chers pour le marché turc. Avant je travaillais beaucoup avec des entreprises russes, mais au niveau des douanes c'est plus simple entre la Turquie et la Chine, pour envoyer nos paiements en Chine aussi ». Facilités dans les procédures, prix moins élevés, les avantages sont nombreux mais, selon Sohar « il faut aussi reconnaître que les produits fabriqués en Chine ne sont pas forcément de bonne qualité, on les choisit parce qu'ils sont moins chers ». La Turquie, en pleine crise économique a besoin de la Chine, de son commerce et de ses investissements. Mais les produits chinois ne font-ils pas concurrence aux produits turcs ? Yaman Ungan, directeur général d'Opontia, qui vend plusieurs gammes de cosmétiques turcs, tient un stand au salon Beauty Eurasia. Et selon lui, la Turquie a des atouts pour résister face à la Chine : la qualité des produits turcs et le « softpower culturel » qui permet à son entreprise de séduire les clients au Moyen-Orient. Avec la dépréciation de la monnaie turque, le pays est également devenu plus attractif : « c'est un nouveau centre de production, la Turquie est un peu devenue la Chine de l'Europe, sans être la Chine », affirme Yaman Ungan.Relocalisations en TurquieAprès le Covid et la hausse des coûts de transports, plusieurs entreprises occidentales ont en effet préféré relocaliser une partie de leur production en Turquie, plutôt que de produire en Chine. Mais certaines entreprises chinoises ont, semble-t-il, également adopté cette stratégie. Ces investissements font partie du programme des « nouvelles routes de la soie ». En 2021, plusieurs entreprises de téléphonie mobiles chinoises ont installé des usines de fabrication en Turquie pour être au plus près des consommateurs.Tecno est l'une d'entre elles. Installée dans le quartier de Pendik, sur la rive asiatique d'Istanbul, elle emploie plusieurs centaines de personnes, mais est aussi le théâtre de manifestations ces derniers mois, comme ce jour-là où une poignée de syndicalistes vêtus d'une tunique bleue, la couleur du syndicat Türk Metal, sont venus protester contre les conditions de travail chez Tecno. Ils dénoncent une pression permanente sur les ouvriers. « Ils n'ont pas le droit de se parler, leurs chefs sont toujours sur leur dos, il y a des caméras partout », affirme Serkan Gül, président de Türk Metal à Istanbul-rive asiatique. Selon lui, la liberté syndicale n'est pas non plus respectée. « Si un ouvrier se syndique, il est immédiatement renvoyé ». Difficile de vérifier ces affirmations, les entreprises chinoises communiquent très peu.Le dossier ouïghour empoisonne les relations sino-turquesInvestissements dans les infrastructures, dans les entreprises, les relations économiques sino-turques se sont développées depuis le lancement des « nouvelles routes de la soie ». « C'est dans la tradition de la diplomatie turque de ne jamais mettre les œufs dans le même panier et de diversifier ses partenaires, décrypte Tolga Bilener de l'Université Galatasaray d'Istanbul, tout en sachant que 60% du commerce turc se fait encore avec l'Union européenne et la Russie aussi est un partenaire important ». Mais ces relations trouvent leurs limites aujourd'hui. « On peut parler d'une stagnation. En décembre 2022, le ministre turc des Affaires étrangères a parlé devant le Parlement d'un ralentissement après une période de réchauffement avec la Chine et il a lui-même donné la raison : le dossier ouïghour ».Le dossier ouïghour est au cœur des relations en dents de scie entre Pékin et Ankara. Cette minorité musulmane et turcophone persécutée en Chine, a trouvé massivement refuge en Turquie, qu'elle considère comme un pays frère, ce qui exaspère Pékin. À Istanbul, ils sont des milliers de Ouïghours à vivre dans le quartier de Zeytinburnu et ses barres d'immeubles sans charme.Voilée de noir, Mukerem Habit tient une boutique de vêtements traditionnels ouïghours. Cela fait six ans qu'elle vit à Istanbul après avoir quitté la région du Xinjiang en Chine que les Ouïghours appellent encore le Turkestan oriental. « Je suis partie car j'étais opprimée par le gouvernement chinois à cause de ma religion. Mon mari et une de mes filles sont en prison, une autre de mes filles a été internée dans un camp de rééducation », témoigne-t-elle, visiblement émue. Elle se dit en sécurité en Turquie, elle a acquis la citoyenneté du pays.Les Ouïghours se sentent généralement protégés en Turquie. Le président Recep Tayyip Erdogan a été un des premiers à dénoncer un génocide commis contre cette communauté par les autorités chinoises. Mais les relations entre Ankara et Pékin varient au gré des intérêts économiques et en 2017, le Parlement chinois a ratifié un accord d'extradition avec la Turquie, ce qui inquiète Abdusselam Teklimakan, président d'une association ouïghoure, qui a peur un jour d'être renvoyé en Chine, et de subir le même sort que sa famille : l'internement dans des camps. « Bien sûr, cet accord d'extradition nous inquiète, même si pour l'instant seul le parlement chinois l'a ratifié, pas le Parlement turc, précise-t-il. Tant que le Parlement turc ne l'acceptera pas, nous nous sentirons en sécurité, assène-t-il. S'il le fait, on ne sait pas ce qu'il pourrait arriver à notre communauté. »Après la guerre en Ukraine, la Turquie nouveau pôle d'attractivitéLes questions politiques et économiques sont étroitement liées dans les relations entre la Turquie et la Chine. Et la question ouïghoure n'est pas le seul point de désaccord entre les deux pays. « Les deux pays sont en compétition en Asie centrale, il y a des divergences au Moyen-Orient sur la Syrie, sur le dossier kurde, rappelle Tolga Bilener, et puis le fait que la Turquie fasse partie de l'Alliance occidentale est déjà un frein naturel pour le développement de ces relations ».Mais Ankara peut aussi s'en affranchir. Après le Covid et la guerre en Ukraine, la Turquie a renforcé sa place centrale dans la région. La Turquie a été à la manœuvre dans l'accord entre la Russie et l'Ukraine, en juillet 2022, pour l'exportation de céréales ukrainiennes vers le reste du monde et cela « grâce à la force de sa politique étrangère mais aussi sa géographie centrale », rappelle Ahmet Faruk Içik, qui travaille sur les liens avec la Chine au sein de DEIK, une organisation patronale turque.Du haut de son gratte-ciel dans le quartier d'affaires d'Istanbul, il parie à l'avenir sur le développement de la route transcaspienne, comme « nouvelle route de la soie ». « Avec la guerre entre la Russie et l'Ukraine, la route du Nord [qui va de la Chine à l'Europe en passant par la Russie, Ndlr] a perdu de sa pertinence car il n'y a plus de stabilité. Donc la route transcaspienne qui est stable, elle, est devenue une bonne alternative. Elle va du Kazakhstan à la mer Caspienne à un port d'Azerbaïdjan et ensuite par voie ferrée de la Géorgie à la Turquie. »Les « nouvelles routes de la soie » lancées, il y a dix ans, par Xi Jinping se trouvent à moment crucial pour la Turquie. Le pays a le choix entre privilégier ses relations avec la Chine, devenue incontournable, rester tourné vers l'Occident, ou ménager tous ses partenaires, quitte à jouer les équilibristes.

Israel currently sells around 4.6 bcm of natural gas a year to Egypt, which then exports a portion to Europe via its LNG facilities and uses the rest for local consumption.  Moscow and Ankara are close to agreeing to set up a gas trading hub in Turkey, a move that will provide Russia with another avenue to export gas and strengthen Turkey's position as a major energy player in the region.  The Central Bank intends to issue instructions for preparing banks for better settlement setup, improve banks' governance, strengthen the board of directors' roles, and prevent conflicts of interest. The CBE is working on a project to digitize remittances, through incentives, such as the points system, cash back, and discounts for merchants, the issuance of products in foreign currency to encourage beneficiaries to save, where agreements have been made with banks and exchange bureaus in the Gulf to target and educate dispatchers. The announced transaction implies an EV/ton of USD466 (EGP14,396) for Hadeed.

In the months since Turkish President Erdogan's reelection, we've heard a lot about the potential for a new page in EU-Turkey relations, and Erdogan even raised the issue of Turkey's membership in the EU at the July NATO summit. Despite this signaling from Ankara, the main obstacles concerning EU-Turkey relations have remained the same, whether we are looking at rule of law and human rights issues, or Turkey's continued occupation and refusal to recognize the Republic of Cyprus. As the debate over the future of EU-Turkey relations in the coming years unfolds, Ambassador Marc Pierini joins Thanos Davelis to look at what we should expect in the wake of Erdogan's reelection.Marc Pierini is a visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe, where his research focuses on developments in the Middle East and Turkey from a European perspective. Prior to this, Pierini was a career EU diplomat, and served as EU ambassador to Turkey (2006–2011).You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:What does Erdoğan's new term in office mean for EU-Turkey relations?UN raises alarm over unauthorized construction in buffer zoneNorth announces intention to build ‘unauthorised' road through buffer zoneLess leeway for handouts this winter

After several years of virtually nonexistent relations, Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis spoke on the phone Wednesday with Najla Mangoush - the interim foreign minister of the government of national unity in Tripoli. According to diplomatic sources, Gerapetritis stressed the need to relaunch relations between Athens and Tripoli and to open direct channels of communication. Athens' willingness to restart relations comes at a time when Ankara is also taking steps toward rapprochement with countries in the region - like Egypt - and with actors in eastern Libya.

*Rahmetlik Turgut Özal özüyle, sözüyle dört başı mamur bir müslümandı. Yakından tanıma imkânı oldu. Ve çok vefalı davrandı. Kıtmir'in ne haddine Çankaya'ya davet edilmek ama defaatle davet etti; “Ben seni arka kapıdan içeri alırım!” diyordu, öyle bakıyordu meseleye. Fakat size zarar verir diye kabul etmedim, hiçbirini kabul etmedim. Yakında birisinin öyle bir teklifini de yine onun için kabul etmedim. Şimdi biri sizinle görüşünce, ona hemen bir nam takılıyor; o da o mülahazayla mahkûm ediliyor. Onu öyle bir duruma düşürmemek için kabul etmedim. *1980'den 86 senesine kadar dolaştım sağda solda, kaçmadım… O dönemde askerlik yapan ne kadar arkadaşımız varsa, bazıları için iki üç defa, askeri kışlaya gidip hepsini ziyaret ettim. Billboardlarda resmim vardı, ismim de yazılıydı. Umursamadım onu. Belki de arkadaşlarıma “Boş verin, bu da geçer yahu!” demek için askerî kışlaların içine girdim, onlarla görüştüm. En son Burdur'daki arkadaşı ziyaret etmiştim. Demek o zaman deşifre olmuşuz, yakın takibe almışlar. Sonra ikinci kez, Hazreti Üstad'ın “Benim vekilim!” dediği o mübarek talebesi, yakın tarihte vefat eden merhum Mustafa Sungur'un oğlu Nur Sungur'u ki o bir dönemde Kestanepazarı'nda Kıtmir'in talebesiydi ziyarete gittim. Tespit etmişler, derdest ettiler; silah dayadılar karnıma, içeriye götürdüler. *O zaman rahmetlik Turgut Özal başbakandı. Evet, o da başbakandı, başkaları da başbakan; hakkı olmayanlara Allah o fırsatı vermesin!.. O gece dahiliye vekilini, hariciye vekilini, adliye vekilini hususi olarak topluyor; “Fethullah Hoca'yı falan yerde derdest etmişler, derhal salıversinler!..” diyor. Sabah bizi uyandırdılar, ifadeye çağırdılar, biraz sonra birisi geldi, dedi ki: “Yahu bu gece bütün tel hatları birbirine karıştı. Başımıza iş açacağız, bırakalım bunları, gitsinler!..” Sonra “Burdur aramıyor, bunları İzmir arıyormuş, oraya götürelim.” dediler. “Olur” dedik. İzmir'e götürdüler. Beni arayan şef, istihbarat müdürü, hepsi geldi, elimi sıktılar, “Hocam, çok geçmiş olsun!” falan dediler. “Hani siz beni arıyordunuz?” deyince, “Biz aramıyoruz sizi!” dediler. Merhum Turgut Özal ağırlığını koymuştu; bu insanca bir ağırlık koymaydı. Allah onu da Efendimiz'le beraber Firdevs ile sevindirsin. Süleyman Demirel ve Bülent Ecevit'in Civanmertlikleri *Süleyman Bey, nereye koyarsanız koyun, cumhurbaşkanı iken, belki otuz tane devlet başkanına mektup yazdı. Neden? Milletimize müyesser olmuş böyle bir hizmetin devam ve temadisi adına. Nereye koyarsanız koyunuz!.. İnsanlık damarıyla, bir yönüyle dine olan saygısı damarıyla, kendi vatanında meydana gelen fedakâr bir kısım kimselerin hizmetlerini alkışlama hesabına rahatlıkla bu mektupları yazmıştı. Onun açısından da bu mesele bir emanettir. Bir de Süleyman beyi ahirette hakkınızda davacı haline getirmeyin!.. “Ben elli tane mektup yazdım, siz niye bu işi yarı yolda bıraktınız? Yürüdüğünüz doğru yolda neden takılıp kaldınız?” der. O yaptığı iyi şeyler de inşaallah onun vesile-i saadeti olmuştur. Herkes hakkında hüsn-ü zannımız var. *Bir garip şey daha anlatayım size: Bülent Ecevit. Yetiştiği kültür ortamı itibarıyla bahiste bulunmayacağım. Ankara'daki ve İstanbul'daki evine gittim. Ben bir kıtmirim sadece, fakat 30-40 sene cami kürsülerinde halka bir şeyler anlatmaya çalıştım; o da bunun hatırına, yemin ederim size, ceketinin düğmelerini düğmeleyerek karşıladı.

Turkey may be key to salvaging Ukraine's Black Sea grain exports

International report

Russia's decision to walk out on a deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey to allow Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea has prompted fears of soaring prices and global famine. Turkey, the gatekeeper to the waterway, has a key role to play in finding a solution. The Turkish-flagged TQ Samsun was the last ship to carry grain from a Ukrainian Black Sea port under the deal that guaranteed safe passage to cargo ships leaving the war zone, after Moscow withdrew from the agreement earlier this week. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for grain exports to continue through the Black Sea.Such a move would likely need support from the Turkish navy, which is second only to Russia in the Black Sea.  France slams Russia's suspension of Black Sea grain deal as 'blackmail'"I've been a proponent of this [Turkish naval support] from the very beginning," declares Yoruk Isik, a geopolitical analyst in Istanbul with the Washington-based Middle East Institute."There are some difficulties. The first one will be the insurance question. But we already hear from the Ukrainian government that it set aside a serious amount of money, like half a billion euros, to provide possible insurance."Isik also warned: "I think that Russia could do things that irritate Turkey, possibly in Syria and other places."Russian escalationMoscow warns that cargo ships attempting to carry Ukrainian grain will be considered hostile because they could potentially bear arms for Kyiv.After withdrawing from the grain deal, Russian forces have already started pounding Ukrainian ports. Russia defence ministry says navy carried out live fire 'exercise' in Black SeaBut it is not clear whether Moscow is ready for a confrontation with Turkey if it deploys its naval forces to protect ships carrying Ukrainian grain."They will try to create a hostile environment, possibly maybe dumping some sea mines," warns analyst Isik."But in reality, if Turkey is backing this trade [Ukrainian grain exports], I actually don't expect Russians will have either the ability or the desire to really confront the Turkish navy or the international vessels transiting on the western Black Sea," he added.But Ankara is wary of the risks involved, given the dangers of a possible confrontation with Russian naval forces."The Russian naval fleet is very powerful here, they have a lot of battleships; they have more than ten submarines here," explains Mesut Casin, an international security expert at Istanbul's Yeditepe University and adviser to the Turkish president."This could be a big headache for Nato and for Turkey's security, and this will trigger a kind of blowup in Turkey-Russian relations," he said.Turkey keeps the balanceIf Ankara doesn't offer assistance, other Nato members may want to step in to secure the continuation of Ukrainian grain exports, which experts say is essential to prevent surging food prices and famine in some parts of the world. Grain shortfall from Ukraine war exacerbates food insecurity in AfricaBut Turkey is the gatekeeper to the Black Sea under the international Montreux Convention on maritime traffic, and some analysts say it will be very reluctant to allow warships to enter the war zone."Those ships would make very easy targets," predicts Serhat Guvenc, a professor of international relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, "and probably, their presence would not decrease but increase the risk of escalation between Nato and Russia."He adds: "That's the reason why Turkey has suggested to its allies and others that they should reconsider their plans to send in warships into the Black Sea." Erdogan weighs benefits of friendlier ties with Turkey's Western alliesSince the onset of the Ukrainian conflict, Turkey has blocked access to ships from both Russia and Nato countries, other than those that have ports on the Black Sea. The stance is part of what Ankara calls its balanced approach."Turkey is very, very careful here not to touch the security interest of Russia as directly as the United States and other European countries do," explains Huseyin Bagci of the Ankara-based Foreign Policy Institute."Turkey will have a unique position in this respect. As we say, neither West nor East but the Turkish security interest, which is keeping the balance there," Bagci said.Go-betweenTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims his close ties with his Ukrainian and Russian counterparts helped him broker the UN grain deal. Erdogan says he still believes Turkish diplomacy again can find a solution to avert escalating tensions."The Black Sea, even though a closed and small area, is one of the most dangerous areas in the world," warns presidential advisor Casin. "Someone has to open the gate with the Kremlin; this should be Turkey." Turkey maintains cordial links with Russia on first anniversary of Ukraine warTurkey, as the world's largest flour exporter and among the largest exporters of pasta, stands to lose if Ukrainian grain exports do not resume.With the Turkish waterways no longer full of ships carrying Ukrainian grain, world food prices are predicted to surge – along with pressure to find a solution.

Après la surprise de Vilnius, les chefs de la diplomatie des 27 discutent ce jeudi 20 juillet à Bruxelles de leurs relations avec Ankara. Vilnius, le sommet de l'Otan où Recep Tayyip Erdogan a demandé une relance du processus d'adhésion de son pays aux 27 en échange de son soutien à la Suède. Le Figaro rappelle que « ces négociations entamées en octobre 2015 ont été gelées en 2018 sur les questions d'état de droit d'indépendance de la justice de respect des droits humains ». Et, le 19 juillet, les députés européens ont pris les devants. La commission des affaires étrangères a voté un rapport dans lequel il demande expressément aux 27 de ne pas reprendre ces négociations. Mais tous les États ne sont pas sur la même ligne.  L'Allemagne ou l'Italie jugent crucial de ramener la Turquie vers l'Union Européenne. La France et les Pays bas attendent au préalable des gestes forts d'Ankara, dont la fin du contournement des sanctions russes. Les exportations de la Turquie vers la Russie ont grimpé de 62 % en 2022, et de 103 % pour les importations, au point de faire de la Russie le premier partenaire commercial d'Ankara ».  L'adhésion n'est plus une option, souligne le FigaroMais le maintien d'une relation solide est dans l'intérêt de la Turquie. Confrontée à une inflation record et à une chute de sa monnaie, elle ne peut pas faire abstraction de ses partenaires européens. Et pour le journal, « la composition du nouveau gouvernement turc est à lire dans ce sens. Le changement de certains visages pourrait, disent les plus optimistes, marquer un vrai tournant. Le nouveau ministre des Finances, Mehmet Simsek par exemple, est connu pour être un partisan de l'orthodoxie monétaire. Cela marque une volonté de rassurer les investisseurs internationaux ».« Paris 2024 : l'alerte du président de la Cour des Comptes »« À un peu plus d'un an du coup d'envoi des Jeux Olympiques, les sages de la cour appellent à la vigilance. Sur la sécurité notamment, il faut aller vite, ne pas tergiverser », déclare dans un entretien au journal Pierre Moscovici, le président de la Cour. « Il faudra, dit-il, avoir recours aux forces de sécurité intérieure pour pallier les carences de personnel dans les entreprises privées de sécurité. Les décisions doivent être prises avant octobre prochain, notamment sur la répartition entre policiers et effectifs des armées dont les gendarmes. »   Et à la question, rituelle, « qui paiera la note finale des jeux de Paris 2024 ? », Pierre Moscovici répond : « Le contribuable, assurément ! »Une « Coupe à moitié pleine » à la une de LibérationLa Coupe du monde féminine de football dont le coup d'envoi est donné ce jeudi 20 juillet en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande. « Avant même que la compétition soit lancée, dit l'éditorialiste du journal, l'injustice saute aux yeux. Qui à part les aficionados a entendu parler du Mondial féminin de foot ? Combien de brasseries et de cafés ont installé un écran géant pour diffuser les matchs ? Faites le test. Entre la Fifa qui a vendu séparément les compétitions masculines et féminines (au détriment de ces dernières) et les diffuseurs qui ont négocié le prix à la baisse les footballeuses apparaissent comme le parent pauvre du foot mondial. Pourtant l'appétit est là. 64 % des Français interrogés déclarent qu'ils regarderaient davantage de compétitions féminines si les chaines en diffusaient davantage. »Le journal consacre 4 pages à l'évènementOn découvre les visages des cinq footballeuses à suivre dans cette compétition. L'espoir allemand, Lena Oberdorf, « redoutable » pour le journal, époustouflante, sacrée meilleure jeune joueuse de l'Euro 2022. La star à domicile, l'Australienne Sam Kerr, qui, depuis trois ans, porte le club anglais de Chelsea au firmament. L'avant-centre de 29 ans est aussi, rapporte Libération, l'une des joueuses « out » de la compétition, combattant frontalement les insultes lesbophobes qui la visent. Dans cette galerie de portraits, la pièce maitresse de l'équipe d'Espagne Alexia Putellas, qui après neuf mois de blessure, promet selon le journal « un come back explosif ». Il y a aussi l'Américaine Sophia Smith, 22 ans, qui incarne la relève des superstars Megan Rapinoe et Alex Morgan. Enfin, la française Eugénie le Sommer, boudée par l'ex-sélectionneuse Corinne Diacre, privée d'Euro, bien qu'elle soit – hommes et femmes confondus – la meilleure buteuse en sélection avec 89 réalisations.  Elle est donc remise en selle par Hervé Renard pour porter les couleurs des Bleues.

President Erdogan's recent “U-turn” on Sweden's accession to NATO has led to a number of observers wondering whether Turkey may be pivoting away from Russia and returning to the West, with some asking how long Erdogan's special relationship with Putin can last. Amberin Zaman, a senior correspondent reporting from the Middle East, North Africa and Europe exclusively for Al-Monitor, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why none of Erdogan's latest moves amount to a pivot away from Russia any more than they signal a real reset with the West.

Erdogan issued the statement at the end of the NATO summit in Lithuania's capital Vilnius. He said Ankara expects that to reach a positive outcome, although no timeline has been set. US President Joe Biden has already signalled his approval of the deal which needs approval from the US Congress. *)Russian general says top military brass betrayed soldiers fighting in Ukraine A Russian general claimed he was fired as a commander in southern Ukraine after telling Moscow of the dire situation at the frontline Major General Ivan Popov made the revelation in a voice message published by a Russian lawmaker. He said more and more Russian soldiers were killed by Ukrainian artillery and that the army lacked proper fighting equipment. Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far kept Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and his top general in their jobs after the June 24 mutiny by Wagner mercenaries. *)Junior doctors begin 'longest strike' in UK's NHS history Hospital doctors in England are set to stage the biggest walkout in the history of the state-funded National Health Service, prompting fears for patient safety. The unprecedented five-day stoppage will begin Thursday over pay and staffing. It is the latest in eight months of industrial action across the country's health service, which is already reeling from a vast pandemic backlog. Nurses, ambulance staff and other medical staff have all joined picket lines in recent months, adding to pressures on patient appointments. *)UN: Conflict in Sudan displaced over 3 million people The UN has reported that the conflict in Sudan has already driven more than 3 million people from their homes. More than 2.4 million are now displaced internally, while over 700,000 have fled to other countries, the International Organization for Migration said.

Sweden reiterated it will not support terrorist organisations YPG/PYD and FETO, a joint statement said after the meeting between Türkiye, Sweden, and the NATO chief. *) Key aid route to Syria closes as UN fails to extend authorisation A UN-brokered agreement that allows for the delivery of aid overland from Türkiye into Syria has expired after the United Nations Security Council failed to hold a vote to reauthorise it. The 15 members of the council had been trying for days to find a compromise to extend the deal, which since 2014 has allowed for food, water and medicine to be trucked to northwestern Syria. But the vote, first scheduled for Friday, was postponed to Monday - and then again to Tuesday morning, a source in the British mission to the UN, which holds the presidency of the Security Council, said. This means that as humanitarian convoys wrapped up their operations on Monday night, the future of the aid corridor was in doubt - it cannot resume operations until the United Nations reauthorises it. *) Turkish President, EU Council chief agree to 're-energise' ties Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has met Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, in Vilnius, Lithuania as he was visiting to attend a NATO leaders' summit. Michel on Twitter said they “explored opportunities ahead to bring EU-Türkiye cooperation back to the forefront & re-energise our relations." He added that the Council has asked the high representative, Josep Borell, and the European Commission to submit a report "with a view to proceed in a strategic & forward-looking manner." *) Last week hottest on record worldwide: UN The beginning of July has been the hottest week on record for the planet, according to early findings from the United Nations' weather agency, after a series of scorching days saw global temperature records tumble. "The world just had the hottest week on record, according to preliminary data," the World Meteorological Organization said in a statement on Monday, after the climate crisis and the early stages of the El Nino weather pattern drove the warmest June on record. It's the latest in a series of records halfway through a year that has already seen a drought in Spain and fierce heat waves in China as well the United States. *) Meta's Threads hits 100 million users as Twitter struggles The Threads app launched by Instagram as a rival to Twitter has signed up more than 100 million users in less than five days, data tracking websites said on Monday, smashing the record of AI tool ChatGPT for fastest-growing consumer app. While ChatGPT took two months to hit the 100 million user mark and video-sharing app TikTok took nine months, Instagram itself took two and a half years to reach that mark after its 2010 launch. Threads went live on Apple and Android app stores in 100 countries late on Wednesday, though it is not available in Europe because parent company Meta is unsure how to navigate the European Union's data privacy legislation.

On the eve of the NATO summit in Vilnius it appears that Turkish President Erdogan is once again moving the goalposts when it comes to Sweden's NATO membership bid, attempting to put progress on Turkey's EU membership on the table as well. At the same time, President Biden and Erdogan also discussed the potential sale of US F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, and with Ankara introducing new demands at the 11th hour, the link between Sweden's NATO accession and the issue of F-16s is under the spotlight as well. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to look ahead at what is likely to be a dramatic NATO summit.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Sweden still not ready for NATO, Erdoğan tells BidenUS could agree to sell Turkey F-16 jets so it will allow Sweden to join NatoUS, Turkey edge closer to deal on Sweden's NATO membership; bargaining over F-16sAs NATO Gathers, Unity Among the Alliance Has Become Harder to SustainMitsotakis, Erdogan hoping for a resetErdogan's difficult equation in NATOTemperatures set to climbItaly heatwave could push temperatures close to European record

It looks like Turkey is trying to pack as much as it can into the agenda of the crucial NATO Summit in Vilnius later this month. Aside from Turkey's veto over Sweden's NATO membership, Ankara has also put a freeze on NATO's new operational maps by raising questions about the naming of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus straits in the new operational maps, and taking issue with the reference of the Republic of Cyprus in the plans as well.
