Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry has paid an official visit to Ankara where he met his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu. The two ministers said they are taking concrete steps in reappointing ambassadors and will enhance cooperation to ensure stability in Libya. The meeting comes just weeks after Cavusoglu made a landmark visit to Cairo, the first of its kind in a decade. Shoukry's visit to Turkiye is his second since March when he toured the country's south in a show of solidarity following the February 6th earthquakes. Diplomatic ties between the two countries had been cut off after a 2013 coup in Egypt overthrew then-president Mohammed Morsi. But the recent meetings have raised expectations that full diplomatic relations will be restored soon. Their rapproachment follows others in the region, including Iran, which recently reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia. Bahrain and Qatar also announced restoration of diplomatic ties, ending a years-long dispute.

Turkish-Greek dispute over Libyan oil reserves risks sparking regional row

Tensions between Greece and Turkey are spreading across the Mediterranean from Libya to the divided island of Cyprus. The risk of a confrontation is threatening to draw in fellow Nato allies. The Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu this week announced in Tripoli the signing of a memorandum with Libya's government of national unity for the joint exploration of hydrocarbon reserves in Libya's offshore waters and national territory Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias swiftly challenged the agreement's legitimacy, claiming it infringed on Greek waters. Turkey's deepening economic and military ties with the Libyan government is the latest point of tension between Athens and Ankara. Moreover, relations between the Nato partners are becoming increasingly fraught, mainly because of territorial disputes. These conflicts are now putting ties between the United States and Turkey under pressure. "The ones standing with the Greeks just for the sake of pleasing the Greeks should not expect friendship from us," warned Cavusoglu. "Because Turkey will not bow down to such acts. Turkey will take necessary steps in Cyprus." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had earlier announced that Turkey would increase its military presence in Cyprus after Washington lifted its military arms embargo on the Greek Cypriot administration. On Friday, Erdogan declared that military drones had been deployed on Cyprus. The Mediterranean Island has been divided between Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities since 1974. The Greek Cypriot administration is the only internationally recognised government. Washington's action comes as State Department spokesman Ned Price appeared to offer support to Athens amid rising tensions with Ankara over Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. Don't inflame tensions in the islands "Greece's sovereignty over these islands is not in question. But we call on countries, including our allies, to respect territorial integrity and sovereignty and avoid actions that inflame tensions," said Price. Ankara has condemned Greece's militarisation of some of its islands close to Turkish shores, which Turkey claims violate an international agreement. Athens insists it is protecting its territory from Turkish threats. Political scientist Cengiz Aktar of the University of Athens says the Greek government is calculating that it has Washington's support and is in no mood to back down from what it considers Turkish bullying. "There is a common wisdom in Greece, don't belittle small countries. We have a live example of Ukraine and Russia. "I mean, yes, the Greeks are ready," said political scientist Cengiz Aktar of the University of Athens. Athens insists its militarisation of the islands is in response to the threat posed by Turkey, whose military forces, in many cases, are less than a kilometer distant from Greek islands. Athanasios Drougos, a defense analyst at Greece's War College, warns that Ankara's hardening stance will lead to a stronger response from Athens. The Greek right of self defence "The Greek position is based on the right of self defence. "I would say there are some provocative military exercises, some drills, they bother Greece quite a lot. "So, for the time being, I can tell you there is no option for Greece to demilitarise the islands," Greek and Turkish warplanes routinely challenge one another in disputed airspace over the Aegean Sea. Both are continuing to build up their military presence. On Thursday, Erdogan reiterated his threat to the Greek militarised islands. "This applies to Greece and any country that disturbs us and attacks us. Our response to them is: 'We may suddenly arrive one night.' They should be aware of this and understand this," said Erdogan. Turkish-Greek tensions are nothing new. The two edged to the brink of war in 1996 over an uninhabited islet. US intervention prevented open hostilities. But with Turkey saying Greece is using US-supplied weapons to militarise its islands, observers say Washington's status as an honest broker is in question. Turkish-US relations are already strained over Erodgan's ties with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and doubts over Turkey's loyalty to Nato. On Friday, the two leaders held talks by phone to discuss deepening ties. Region moving closer to war Asli Aydintasbas, a visiting fellow of the Brookings Institution, a Washington research group, says she is worried the region is moving closer to war. "We are used to occasional flare-ups in this relationship, but I think right now, the global environment is very uncertain, chaotic, and almost conducive to a military confrontation between Turkey and Greece," said Aydintasbas. "The dynamics have changed," she added. "Turkey no longer feels a strong and firm member of the western camp or NATO alliance. It is still NATO, but obviously also interested in having alternatives. And Turkey is also a whole lot more self-confident than it used to be. Meanwhile, Greece feels that there's been a big change in Greece as well," said Aydintasbas. For now, neither Athens nor Ankara appears ready to step back. Cavusoglu said last month that Turkey was prepared to resolve tensions diplomatically but warned the country wouldn't hesitate to use hard power if diplomacy failed and Turkish interests were threatened.

France pushes Turkey to support sanctions, stand up to Russian aggression

With Turkish Russian trade booming since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna's visit to Turkey this week focused on efforts to further isolate Moscow. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu welcomed Colonna. But behind the diplomatic pleasantries, there are growing concerns in the EU over Ankara's refusal to enforce western sanctions against Moscow. At a joint press conference with Cavusoglu, Colonna stressed the importance of unity in standing up to Russian aggression. "The European Union and other partner and allied countries have the same objective: to limit the renewal of the Russian war effort and to make Russia understand that it has chosen a dead end," said Colonna. "In this context, it is important that as many countries as possible send the same message." Deep financial ties Russian-Turkish trade has surged to record levels since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict. Bilateral trade with European countries, which had strong trading ties with Russia, has spiked fuelling suspicions that Turkey is becoming a backdoor to circumvent sanctions. Turkish-Russian financial ties deepened further, with Moscow depositing five billion dollars in Turkey, ostensibly to aid a Russian company's construction of a nuclear power station in Turkey. A further 10 billion dollars is reportedly expected in the next few weeks. The infusion of hard currency is a welcome boost for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose 2023 campaign for reelection is dogged by a plunging lira and inflation running at nearly 80 percent. "By helping Russia get around sanctions, Turkey can earn key balance of payments receipts, and that will help support the lira, write down inflation and help Erdogan win the elections," explained Timothy Ash, a senior strategist with Bluebay Asset Management. 'Black knight' To safeguard his close ties with Vladimir Putin, Erdogan has resisted calls from his western allies to enforce sanctions against Russia. Last month at the Black Sea resort of Sochi, the two leaders discussed further developing trade ties. Turkey has doubled Russian oil imports since this year's assault on Ukraine. Russian oligarchs continue to moor their yachts in Turkish marinas, knowing that Turkish authorities won't attempt to seize them. "Turkey has de facto become a black knight. In academic literature, that means a state that is willing to help a sanctioned country, at least to mitigate sanctions," said Maria Shagina, a specialist on international sanctions at the Institute for Strategic Studies. "And this is where Russia sees Turkey in that light, that it can come in handy in terms of developing its economic ties against the background of Western companies fleeing the country," added Shagina. Grain deal Turkey and the United Nations have brokered a deal to export Ukrainian grain to world markets, and those export operations are based in Istanbul. Erdogan claims credit for the agreement, saying it was possible only because of his close ties with Putin, relations which analysts suggest are set to deepen. Turkey's Erdogan due in Russia to 'sound out' Putin on Ukraine and Syria "The current Turkish Russian relations have definite bonds with the current war in Ukraine. Ukraine wheat exports is a new chapter for the region, and Turkey plays a quite significant role as an intermediary," said Russia Turkey expert Zaur Gasimov of Bonn University. "And also close military cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey and the aspect of Turkey not joining the anti-Russian sanctions, all that results in dynamics of importance for Moscow and for Ankara," said Gasimov. Ukraine drone sales Erdogan routinely points out that along with close ties with Putin, Turkish firms continue to sell military drones to Ukraine, weapons which are proving effective against Russian forces. But this balancing act between Ukraine and Russia raises questions about where the Turkish leader's loyalties lie. In a move interpreted as further stoking questions over Erdogan's loyalties, Putin invited the Turkish leader to this month's meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a Chinese-Russian-led, Eurasian security grouping. Turkey lays the ground for a smoothing of relations with Syria Galip Dalay, a Russia Turkey expert at the London-based Chatham House, says Putin's invitation and regular meetings with Erdogan are part of a broader Russian strategy. "Putin's telling the international community, 'actually I am not as isolated as the West wants or portrays me to be'," said Dalay. "So, the symbolism of these meetings, including Erdogan potentially joining the Shanghai Cooperation meeting in Uzbekistan, the symbolism is more important than the substance." High technology Analysts warn that Putin may seek to further leverage Erdogan's relationship and growing financial dependency on Russia to circumvent Western technology sanctions, putting Ankara on a collision course with its allies. "To me, the game-breaker is high technology," warned Atilla Yesilada of Global Source Partners, "If I understand it correctly, both in a civilian area and in a military area, Russia is denied high technology that is really hitting their supply lines. "If Turkish companies are used to import proscribed items to reexport to Russia, that will blow the game open, and Turkey will be sanctioned," added Yesilada. In a sign that Turkey's western allies are losing patience, the US Treasury sent a letter to Turkey this month bluntly warning Turkish businesses of the financial dangers of trading with sanctioned Russian companies. With Turkey's economy in a weak state, sanctions could trigger a devastating economic crisis. At the same time, analysts say Erdogan is placing his bets on Russia in the hope that Russian trade and support will revitalise his nation's economy ahead of next year's elections.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a strong opponent of the Syrian regime, says his country could be ready for dialogue with Damascus. It's a prospect that's causing alarm in the ranks of the Syrian opposition that relies heavily on Turkish support. Since the onset of the Syrian civil war, Erdogan routinely targeted his Syrian counterpart Bashar Al Assad as a tyrant, devil, and butcher, pledging that he would pay for what he calls his atrocities against his people. But this month, Erdogan is singing a different tune. Referring to his nation's relations with the Syrian regime, the Turkish leader told reporters: "Political dialogue and diplomacy cannot be cut off between states." Ankara severed its diplomatic ties with the Assad government at the start of the civil war. Erdogan has played a leading role in backing the opposition in its bid to oust Assad from power. But Turkey is now looking to return millions of Syrian refugees. Talk of 'peace' Earlier this month, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu revealed he had recently held talks with his Syrian counterpart. "I had a brief chat with the Syrian foreign minister on the sidelines of a meeting, telling him that Turkey believes there will be peace between the Assad regime and the opposition and that Turkey is ready to help in such circumstances," Cavusoglu said. Syrian rebels angrily protested, burning Turkish flags as they got news of the discussion between the Turkish and Syrian foreign ministers. "It's terrible news for the Syrian opposition," said Galip Dalay, a Turkey analyst at Chatham House. "Because of the trouble they were facing, they were already more and more turning into Turkey's proxies, and now that will be basically the nail in the coffin of the Syrian opposition. "But some of the groups there might also be decoupling between Turkey and some of the Syrian opposition groups." Syrian Kurds Analysts say Erdogan could be looking for rapprochement with Damascus to get rid of Syrian Kurdish forces of the YPG from its border. Ankara accuses the YPG of having links to an insurgency inside Turkey. "From our perspective, we need to feel secure definitely," said Omer Onhon, Turkey's last ambassador to Syria. Erdogan is also facing mounting public pressure over the millions of Syrian refugees who fled to Turkey. But Onhon says Ankara needs to be cautious in its dealings with Damascus. Kurdish PKK fighters may retreat to Iran as Turkish military closes in "We need to see that Syria is secure for the return of Syrians in Turkey and in other countries. So, the regime has to prove that they are sincere in seeking a real political solution. But up to now, this is not the case," said Onhon. But time may not be on Erdogan's side. He faces reelection next year and is languishing in the polls, with many voters citing the presence of Syrian refugees as one of his most significant election liabilities. Moscow a player The hand of Moscow, which has long backed the Assad regime, could also be a factor in Erdogan's deliberations, says analyst Dalay. "This is precisely in line with the Russian vision of Syria," said Dalay. "The core of it is that Turkey needs to engage Damascus. That the road to Turkey's concerns in Syria goes through Damascus, so that's the message that Putin and Russia have been sending to Turkey. "How Turkey will follow through is a big question because Turkey has a significant military presence there (Syria). How Turkish voters are beating internet press clampdown before polls "So, Syria would insist on the withdrawal of the Turkish presence from Syria. And this is a very difficult position in terms of foreign and domestic policy. " Assad has repeatedly called for the unconditional withdrawal of Turkish forces from Syrian territory — Ankara controls a large swathe of Syrian territory along the Turkish border, seized in its fight against the Kurdish YPG group. It's a demand the Syrian president could make face-to-face with Erdogan in September when both leaders are invited to attend a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

A news conference between Türkiye and Germany's top diplomats started off cordial but soon turned heated. Their meeting in Istanbul came as tensions have risen in the eastern Mediterranean between Türkiye and Greece. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu criticised Germany for abandoning its once neutral stance, calling on Berlin to return to its role as a mediator between Ankara and Athens. His German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock said problems in the eastern Mediterranean could not be solved by escalating tensions. Cavusoglu also pointed out that Germany was in no position to tell Türkiye to follow the court's rulings as well.

Ankara claims progress on talks over release of trapped Ukrainian grain onto world markets

Ankara is claiming a breakthrough in efforts to release trapped Ukrainian grain to world markets as global food prices soar. The breakthrough came after Wednesday's four-way talks between Russian, Ukrainian, United Nations, and Turkish officials in Istanbul. Turkish defense minister Hulusi Akar said that Wednesday's talks opened the door to a deal that will release millions of tonnes of trapped Ukrainian grain in a statement. Agreement this month? Akar said an agreement could be concluded as early as later this month, saying Turkey would play a pivotal role in the proposed agreement for joint controls for checking shipments in harbors and guaranteeing the safety of Black Sea export routes. The Turkish defense minister said a coordination center with Ukraine, Russia, and United Nations for exporting grain would also be set up in Turkey. United Nations Secretary-General Guterres cautiously welcomed the breakthrough. "More technical work will now be needed to materialize today's progress. But the momentum is clear," said Guterres. Trust is the main stumbling block to months of diplomatic efforts to reach a deal. Kyiv fears if it de mines its ports to allow cargo ships to export grain, Russian forces would take advantage and attack. "This food corridor would require the Ukrainians to remove mines from seaports. They were put there for a reason to keep Russians from invading their country, "said Aaron Stein of Philadelphia-based Foreign Policy Research Institute. Russia and Turkey discuss grain blocked in black sea ports Grain shortfall from Ukraine war exacerbates food insecurity in Africa Poor countries to be hit hardest as Ukraine war threatens global food crisis France urges food security crisis plan to avoid famine stoked by Ukraine war International sanctions Stein also warned international sanctions on Russia are also an obstacle to any deal. "there is no appetite whatsoever to lift sanctions, and that is the Russian demand, and that is not going to happen," said Stein. But following Wednesday's talks, Washington announced its sanctions would not target any Russian grain exports that were part of a deal to get grain exported from the Black Sea. Moscow welcomed what it called the "goodwill gesture." The UN is warning unless tens of millions of grain trapped in Ukrainian ports is not released, world food prices will continue to soar, threatening famines across the globe. Ukraine is the world's leading grain supplier, with Africa especially heavily dependent. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyir said they're determined to reach a deal, "We are indeed putting a significant effort into resuming the supply of food to the world market. And I am grateful to the United Nations and Turkey for their respective efforts." The progress at the Istanbul talks has underlined Turkey's position as a critical facilitator in negotiations between the warring parties. "President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been careful to highlight that Turkey wants to maintain relations with both sides," said Sinan Ulgen of the Center for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies, a research organization in Istanbul. "So, as a result of this balanced policy, Turkey has been trying to carve out a space for diplomatic influence as a facilitator or potentially as a mediator," added Ulgen. Ankara's diplomatic success Ankara's apparent diplomatic success comes at a good time, facing mounting criticism over its refusal to enforce international sanctions on Russia. In June, Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey, Vasyl Bodnar, accused Turkish companies of buying stolen Ukraine grain. Kyiv was further angered when Turkish authorities released a Russian-flagged ship that Ukraine claimed was carrying stolen grain. However, international media continue to report grain from Russian-occupied Ukraine is being imported by Turkey. Ankara vehemently denies the accusations, with Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu saying any charge is taken seriously. "We are taking all claims seriously and investigating them in a very serious way. And share the outcome with the Ukrainian side all the time," said Cavusoglu. But to facilitate Russian tourists, which Turkey relies heavily upon, Turkish banks joined Russia's Mir payment system, which Moscow is using to circumvent a ban on international credit cards. Such moves are adding to broader concerns over Turkey's role in financial sanction busting. Timothy Ash is with Bluebay Asset Management and says Ankara sees a financial opportunity. "The Turks kind of think, well, we can't afford to join the sanctions regime, and I have heard from the various (Turkish) government officials that they potentially see this as an opportunity to make money, actually," said Ash. "They argue like the Iran sanctions, brokering sanctions can see Turkey win important foreign exchange earnings. So I think there is nervous about that in the west," he added. Secondary sanctions In June, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo visited Ankara to discuss enforcing Russian sanctions. Analysts warn Turkey could be vulnerable to secondary sanctions by Washington. But Ankara insists enforcing sanctions would jeopardize its mediation efforts between Kyiv and Moscow. Asli Aydintasbas, a senior fellow of the European Council on Foreign Relations, says, for now, Turkey's western allies appear ready to give Ankara the benefit of the doubt. "There is an acceptance among western allies that Turkey is involved in this balancing act that it's not going to cut off relations with Russia. That it is going to do this strategic balancing between Russia and the west," said Aydintasbas, "And because Turkey is so geopolitically important at the Black Sea, with the Turkish straits, there is tolerance." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has close ties with his Ukrainian and Russian counterparts. Before Wednesday Istanbul talks on Ukrainian grain, Erdogan spoke with Zelenskiy. While Tuesday (July 19), the Turkish president, is scheduled to meet face to face with Vladimir Putin in Tehran. A meeting that could prove key to finalizing any deal to get Ukrainian grain back onto world markets.

Lavrov also said Moscow would not use the situation surrounding grain shipments in and around the Black Sea to advance its military operation in Ukraine. He was addressing a joint news conference with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara.

Their defence came at a debate held under new rules requiring the UN General Assembly to examine any veto wielded in the Security Council by one of its five permanent members. *) Algeria suspends 2002 friendship pact with Spain, bans imports Algeria has announced it will suspend a two-decade-old friendship treaty with Spain and ban all imports from the European country.

Exportations de céréales : pas d'avancées à Ankara malgré les risques de famine

Moscou se dit «prêt à garantir la sécurité des navires qui quittent les ports ukrainiens», mais sans annoncer de mécanisme concret. Moscou s'est dit «prêt» à sécuriser les exportations de céréales ukrainiennes mercredi à Ankara, sans annoncer de mécanisme concret propre à rassurer Kiev, malgré les alertes des pays méditerranéens sur le risque de famine mortelle pour des «millions» de personnes. Le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Sergueï Lavrov a été reçu par son homologue turc Mevlüt Cavusoglu pour discuter de l'instauration de corridors sécurisés en mer Noire, afin de faciliter le commerce des récoltes bloquées dans les ports ukrainiens et par les mines au large. À l'issue de cette rencontre, Sergueï Lavrov a assuré que Moscou est «prêt à garantir la sécurité des navires qui quittent les ports ukrainiens», en coopération avec Ankara. «Si, comme nos amis turcs nous le disent, la partie ukrainienne est prête à sécuriser un passage entre les mines, alors cette question peut être résolue», a-t-il déclaré, assurant que la Russie est prête pour sa part à «garantir» qu'elle ne profitera pas du retrait des mines pour attaquer l'Ukraine par la mer. À la demande des Nations unies, la Turquie a proposé son aide pour escorter ces convois, malgré la présence de mines dont certaines ont été détectées à proximité des côtes turques, dans le contexte de l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine. Pour Mevlüt Cavusoglu, «le plan de l'ONU est raisonnable et réalisable. L'Ukraine et la Russie devraient l'accepter». «Semaines cruciales» «Nous avons préparé un plan pour des couloirs alimentaires [sécurisés]. Nous l'avons soumis à la Russie mais [Moscou] renvoie la balle à l'Ukraine», a confié, sous couvert d'anonymat, une source diplomatique turque à l'issue de la conférence de presse commune des ministres turc et russe. L'Ukraine n'était pas représentée lors de cette rencontre. Quatrième exportateur mondial de maïs, l'Ukraine était en passe de devenir le troisième exportateur mondial de blé avant la guerre. Le conflit en cours depuis le 24 février fait flamber les prix et peser un grave risque de famine dans les pays qui en dépendent, en particulier en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Moscou et Kiev s'accusent mutuellement de détruire des stocks de céréales. «Les prochaines semaines seront cruciales (...). Nous attendons de la Russie des signaux clairs et concrets car bloquer les exportations de blé signifie tenir en otages et condamner à mort des millions d'enfants, de femmes et d'hommes», a prévenu mercredi le ministre italien des Affaires étrangères Luigi Di Maio. Le chef de la diplomatie italienne s'exprimait à l'issue d'une conférence ministérielle sur la sécurité alimentaire en Méditerranée, avec la participation de l'organisation de l'ONU pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) et de l'Allemagne, présidente en exercice du G7. «Lever les obstacles» «Les parties concernées (...) doivent faire l'objet de pressions pour permettre l'exportation sûre de céréales et d'autres produits de base sans aucun délai», a plaidé le ministre libanais des Affaires étrangères, Abdallah Bou Habib pour qui «le monde ne peut pas continuer à être à la merci de crises militaires en Europe ou dans d'autres régions du monde». À Ankara, le chef de la diplomatie turque a également jugé «légitime» de lever les sanctions visant les exportations agricoles russes. Mevlüt Cavusoglu a spécifiquement mentionné les «céréales et les engrais» qui ne sont pas concernés par les sanctions occidentales à l'encontre de Moscou mais dont les exportations sont, de fait, empêchées par la suspension des échanges bancaires et financiers. Juste avant la guerre, Kiev exportait chaque mois 12% du blé mondial, 15% du maïs et 50% de l'huile de tournesol. Lundi, le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a alerté sur la quantité de céréales ukrainiennes bloquées en raison de la guerre. «En ce moment nous avons 20 à 25 tonnes bloquées.

While some analysts suggest they could be a "game-changer", others say they should not be expected to suddenly turn the tables for Ukrainian forces facing heavy Russian fire in the east. *) Cavusoglu: Lavrov to visit Türkiye for talks on Ukraine exports Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will visit Türkiye for talks on unblocking grain exports from Ukraine, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said.

Thumbnail: World's Bread Basket Cut Off Description: UN chief Antonio Gutterres gave a dire warning at a recent food security summit in New York. That Russia's attack on Ukraine could lead to a global hunger crisis, lasting years. Before the conflict broke out in late February, both countries accounted for a third of global wheat exports. But today, the world's bread basket has been cut off. Nearly all of Ukraine's ports are under Russian control. The port of Mariupol, mostly destroyed but now in Russian hands, has been offline since the early days of the attack. Odessa, in Ukraine's southwest, although still under Kiev's control, is being blockaded by Russian warships, denying any commercial vessels a way in or out. That's translating into skyrocketing food prices across the world, where countries dependentant on imports panic over future supplies.

Uruguay y Turquía vienen estrechando sus relaciones comerciales y diplomáticas. El sábado pasado, con la presencia del canciller Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, se dio inicio formal, aquí en Montevideo, a las negociaciones para la firma de un Tratado de Libre Comercio, una iniciativa planteada el año pasado por el gobierno de Recep Tayip Erdogán. Además, el mismo sábado Turquía inauguró su embajada en Montevideo, ubicada frente a la Plaza Matríz. Mientras tanto, el gobierno del presidente Luis Lacalle Pou tiene previsto enviar al Parlamento el pedido de venia para designar al nuevo embajador uruguayo en Ankara. La visita del canciller turco no estuvo exento de polémica. Cavusoglu, detrás de la ventanilla del vehículo en que se desplazaba y dirigiéndose a un grupo de manifestantes armenios que protestaban por su presencia, hizo el símbolo de los Lobos Grises, una organización paramilitar pro-turca que ha llevado a cabo ataques a armenios en Europa. Luego del episodio, el canciller Francisco Bustillo convocó a una reunión al embajador de Turquía, Hüseyin Müftüoğlu, para trasmitirle el malestar del Poder Ejecutivo con la actitud de Çavuşoğlu. Pero más allá de este incidente, ¿qué interés tiene Turquía en firmar un TLC con Uruguay? ¿Cuál es la política exterior impulsada por su presidente Recep Tayyip Erdogan? ¿Qué rol juega en Medio Oriente y en Europa?

*) Türkiye sees ‘most meaningful progress' in Russia-Ukraine talks The first stage of the Istanbul talks between Kiev and Moscow has seen the "most meaningful progress since the start of negotiations", Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said. Cavusoglu said he was pleased to see increasing "rapprochement" at "every stage". Negotiators from both sides said enough progress had been made at the fresh round of talks on Tuesday.

Russia has also lost 300 artillery systems, 127 planes and 129 helicopters, almost 100 rocket launcher systems, 54 air defence systems and seven ships, he added. That is “an unprecedented blow to Moscow, where the numbers of Soviet losses in Afghanistan pale in comparison”, Kyslytsya said. *) Saudi-led coalition declares Ramadan ceasefire in Yemen The Saudi-led coalition backing the Yemeni government against Houthi rebels has announced a ceasefire from Wednesday morning.

International report - Turkey looks to play pivotal role in Taliban's new Afghanistan

Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, Turkey has been holding talks with the group's leadership. Ankara is looking to play a pivotal role in the new Taliban Afghanistan, but voices caution Turkey risks overplaying its hand. As the Taliban celebrated with gunfire, as the final refuge of NATO's twenty-year Afghan presence ended with the last American plane flying out of Kabul international airport, its leadership was already reaching out to Ankara. Taliban looks to Ankara Despite Turkey being a part of NATO's Afghan military presence, the Taliban is looking to Ankara to help reopen and run Kabul's international airport, severely damaged in NATO's rush to exit the country. As a result, Ankara believes it occupies a unique position in dealing with the group. "Well, certainly, it considers itself as a Muslim country and the only Muslim country in NATO. It has an advantage when talking to the Taliban," said retired Turkish ambassador Selim Kuneralp. "But the Taliban don't seem to see it in the same way," Kuneralp added. "They have said yes, Turkey is a valuable partner as a Muslim country, and so on. But they are still not ready to see a renewed military presence." Ankara says it talks with the Taliban remain deadlocked over its demand that the Turkish military should secure the airport rather than the Islamist hardliners. Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusolgu said earlier this month; security is key to Kabul's international airport reopening. "In my view, the Taliban or Afghan forces could ensure security outside the airport," said Cavusoglu. "But inside, there should be a security company trusted by the international community or all other companies. Even if airlines, including Turkish Airlines, are keen to fly there, insurance companies would not allow it," the Turkish foreign minister added. But Cavusoglu, acknowledging the importance of reopening the airport, said talks would continue with the Taliban. Kabul airport is seen as key to European countries and the United States evacuating citizens still trapped in Afghanistan and Afghans who worked for NATO, western embassies, and NGOs. Last month, German foreign minister Heiko Maas underlined the importance of Turkey reopening the airport. During August talks with his Turkish counterpart, Maas even offered to share the airport's cost with Ankara. Turkey - Taliban deal Turkey could yet come to a deal with the Taliban, with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan eyeing a diplomatic opportunity. "Erdogan is hoping that the situation in Afghanistan and the need to have some type of engagement with the Taliban will provide some type of political leverage, benefit to Turkey," predicted Asli Aydintasbas, a Senior Fellow at the European Council. "He wants to be the conduit of dialogue, NATO and western dialogue with the Taliban." Turkey's large construction industry - already operating in Afghanistan - could also benefit under the Taliban. In a recent interview with a Turkish newspaper, a Taliban official said Turkey could play a key role in rebuilding the country, which could be bankrolled by Turkey's close ally, energy-rich Qatar. But could Ankara be overplaying its hand with its growing aspirations in Afghanistan? "The neighbors of Afghanistan - that is Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and Iran - all of the big countries, activist countries have very influential with inroads into Afghanistan," explains Soli Ozel teaches international relations at Istanbul's Kadir Has University. "Can Turkey, by itself because it has historical relations with Afghanistan, be a broker or manager of the developments? I really have doubts about that," Ozel added. But Erdogan has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. And the two countries are cooperating in other regional hotspots, including Syria and the Caucasus. Zaur Gasimov, an expert on Russian Turkish affairs at Bonn University, argues Afghanistan could be another point of cooperation. "That would forge and activate a dialogue between Ankara and Moscow with regard to security, bringing the two countries closer to each other. Afghanistan would become a new chapter in a book that already consists of several chapters like Syria, Karabakh, and so on," said Gasimov. Erdogan is due to visit Moscow soon. NATO has already voiced concern over Turkey's deepening ties with Russia. But analysts say Erdogan could be calculating that he has room to maneuver and create a role for his country as Afghanistan's new rulers forge a relationship with the rest of the world.

International report - Memories of Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood mire Egypt-Turkey diplomatic efforts

Play Episode Listen Later May 6, 2021 3:53

Turkey and Egypt have started diplomatic talks to restore ties frozen since the 2013 military coup that ousted President Mohamed Morsi. Analysts predict such a rapprochement could have repercussions across the north African region, but Morsi's supporters could end up paying the heaviest price. Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced that Egypt had agreed to high-level diplomatic talks in Cairo due to start in early May. The bilateral discussions are the first since the 2013 ousting of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, a close ally of Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Huseyin Bagci, head of Turkey's Foreign Policy Institute, says Ankara's initiative is an attempt to counter growing isolation. "There is an increasing bloc, increasing antipathy towards Turkey, Turkey cannot go on like this, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates it is too much," warned Bagci. "It's not what Turkey intended to actually achieve; Turkey intended to become the leader, the regional player. Now only Qatar is supporting Turkey, and Qatar is not enough," he added. Soft words, hard feelings Last year, Cairo further turned up the pressure on Ankara, signing a deal with Athens to explore potential energy sources in Mediterranean waters contested by Greece and Turkey. But conciliatory Turkish words towards Cairo will not be enough to ensure a diplomatic breakthrough. "Ultimately whether this new turn is going to be effective and deliver results does hinge on what Turkey does," said Sinan Ulgen, head of the Istanbul-based Edam Research Institute. Ankara's support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt or, as it's called in Arabic, Ikhwan, which was ousted from power in 2013 by the current President Fattah el-Sisi, remains a crucial point of tension between the countries. "Egypt right now is acting against Turkey just because of the Turkish government's policy based on the theological background," said regional analyst Cem Gurdeniz. "When Turkey leaves the religious policy, I am sure Turkey-Egypt relations will be better." Erdogan, who has Islamist roots, strongly backed Morsi and publicly wept over the Sisi-led crackdown on Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood supporters. The Turkish president, to this day, continues to use the finger "Rabbia" symbol used by the Muslim Brotherhood and Sisi opponents at public rallies. Egyptian opposition established in Turkey Istanbul has become a center for Egyptian opposition television, broadcasting by satellite into Egypt. The Turkish city is also a base for many leading Muslim Brotherhood members. But, in a sign of Turkey's rapprochement with Egypt, there are increasing reports Ankara is starting to impose restrictions on opposition tv broadcasts. Speaking to reporters, Turkish foreign minister Cavusoglu appeared to confirm those reports. "There are some opponents to whom we addressed the necessary warnings, especially those who exaggerate the extremist rhetoric against Egypt," declared Cavusolgu in April. Analysts predict the price of Egyptian rapprochement will mean Erdogan will have to make painful concessions. "Egypt is getting stronger with all the support it receives from all over the world, and Turkey is getting more and more lonely, and this is the problem of the Turkish government, I would say," said Bagci. "Tayyip Erdogan and Sisi probably will not shake hands as presidents in the foreseeable future, but Turkey will not be supporting the Muslim Brotherhood as before," he added. With Egypt and Turkey backing rival sides in the recent Libyan civil war and competing for influence in Sudan, analysts suggest a Turkish-Egyptian rapprochement could ease regional tensions. But difficult diplomatic talks are being predicted to lie ahead, given the recent animosity and distrust between the two sides.

Le 26 décembre dernier, la Chine ratifiait un traité d’extradition signé en 2017 avec la Turquie. L’accord oblige les autorités d’Ankara à renvoyer en Chine les ressortissants soupçonnés de « terrorisme ». Il vise, au premier chef, les Ouïghours réfugiés en Turquie, une minorité victime en Chine d’un système de détention arbitraire de masse. Les Ouïghours, qui appellent le Parlement turc à ne pas ratifier l’accord, saisissent l’occasion pour exprimer leur déception à l’égard des autorités turques. Après avoir été leur porte-voix sur la scène internationale, le président Erdogan est soupçonné de céder aux pressions de Pékin. C’est un petit appartement, trois pièces au rez-de-chaussée d’un immeuble de Fatih, l’un des plus vieux arrondissements d’Istanbul. Depuis six mois, ses murs accueillent le siège de l’Association des droits de l’homme au Turkestan oriental. Les Ouïghours nomment ainsi le Xinjiang, région du nord-ouest de la Chine où sont internés dans des camps des centaines de milliers de membres de cette minorité turcophone, majoritairement musulmane. Nureddin Izbasar, 34 ans, préside l’association, fondée il y a deux ans pour enquêter et alerter sur ces abus. Selon les chiffres dont il dispose, la Turquie abriterait quelque 50 000 Ouïghours, principalement à Istanbul. « Les arrivées ont commencé dans les années 1950, au moment où la Chine venait de fermer les frontières du Turkestan oriental, raconte-t-il. À partir des années 2000, de nombreux étudiants ouïghours sont venus en Turquie, car la Chine leur délivrait des passeports. Mais à partir de 2008, profitant des Jeux olympiques, la Chine a commencé à accentuer sa répression au Turkestan oriental. Cela a provoqué la fuite de 12 à 13 000 personnes. La plupart sont venues en Turquie. » ►À lire aussi : En Turquie, des Ouïghours expriment leur crainte d’être envoyés en Chine Plus d’un tiers des Ouïghours de Turquie ont acquis la nationalité du pays. Beaucoup d’autres bénéficient d’un permis de séjour, mais environ 10 000 d’entre eux y vivraient clandestinement. Ce sont eux les plus menacés par le traité d’extradition signé en 2017. La Chine l’a ratifié mais Ali, 26 ans, sans nouvelles de sa mère internée dans un camp, veut croire que la Turquie n’ira pas jusque là : « ce serait une honte pour la Turquie. Nous nous sommes réfugiés ici car nous considérons les Turcs comme un peuple frère. Nous avons donc beaucoup d’attentes à l’égard de la Turquie... Si cet accord est ratifié, les Ouïghours se sentiront trahis. » Nureddin Izbasar est du même avis. Chez lui, comme chez de nombreux Ouïghours, cet accord suscite l’inquiétude, mais surtout la déception, voire la colère, à l’égard du gouvernement turc. Alors qu’en 2009, Recep Tayyip Erdogan accusait Pékin de « génocide », l’actuel président est devenu presque silencieux sur le sort des Ouïghours. ►À lire aussi : Erdogan en Chine: le sort des Ouïghours, le sujet qui fâche « La Turquie tente de compenser ses problèmes avec l’Occident en se tournant vers l’est, vers la Russie et la Chine, estime Nurredin Izbasar. Sous pression économique chinoise, elle a fait ce qu’elle n’aurait jamais fait en temps normal : signer cet accord d’extradition en sachant que l’opinion publique turque, sensible à notre sort, s’y oppose. Je pense que si le traité est ratifié, le gouvernement affrontera une forte réaction de l’opinion. » Pour l’instant, la Turquie se défend de vouloir « livrer les Ouïghours à la Chine », pour citer son ministre des Affaires étrangères. Mevlüt Cavusoglu a assuré que son pays n’avait jusqu’ici jamais donné suite aux demandes d’extradition de Ouïghours formulées par Pékin.

International report - Will Erdogan's Turkey turn into Biden's foreign policy nightmare?

Turkey is set to be one of the thorniest issues facing US president-elect Joseph Biden. Biden has pledged to restore international alliances and traditional ties with America's friends in Europe. But Nato member Turkey's deepening relations with Moscow are casting doubt over its loyalties to Washington. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan belatedly sent Joe Biden a brief note on his success, while sending a warm message to Donald Trump thanking the out-going US leader. Under Trump, Erdogan had a free hand to confront fellow Nato members and, at the same time, cozy up to Moscow, while the US president blocked Congress calls for sanctions against Turkey. But a Biden victory is seen as ending the party for Ankara. "The message will be to Turkey, do behave like an ally," warns international relations expert Soli Ozel of Istanbul's Kadir Has University. "A lot will depend on Turkey, how Ankara actually decides to move," adds Ozel. "A Biden presidency gives you the opportunity to actually change tracks, not necessarily giving up on your interests but changing your style. But if Turkey insists on defying everyone, I don't think we can get anywhere, and the key to that is the S-400." From Russia with love The S-400 is an advanced missile system that Turkey has bought from Russia in the face of warnings from Washington, which claim it compromises Nato defense systems. In defiance of Washington, Ankara last month test-fired the system, despite the US Congress warning such a move would trigger sanctions. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu further ratcheted up tensions, belligerently listing what Ankara expected from Biden, including dropping objections to the S-400. Cavusoglu also underlined that Turkey's strategic alignment with the United States should not be taken for granted. In the first months after assuming office Biden is likely to face calls for sanctions against Turkey, for violating US Iranian sanctions, as well as Ankara's purchase of Russia's S-400 missiles. Delicate balance between friendship and feuding But a hardline stance by Biden toward Turkey could prove counterproductive. "These hostile actions against Turkey will eventually align Turkey with the Eurasian and Asian powers like Russia and China," warns retired Turkish admiral Cem Gurdeniz. "This is going to be inevitable because they are threatening the very existence of Turkey." The legacy of the 2016 failed coup by disaffected Turkish military officers could complicate Biden's relationship with Turkey. In Ankara, suspicions linger that the Barrack Obama administration, in which Biden served, was involved in the botched military takeover, a charge strenuously denied by Washington at the time. But Biden has experience working with Erdogan, "Biden himself emerged as an Erdogan whisperer," says Asli Aydintasbas, a senior fellow of the European Council on Foreign Relations. "It was Biden who was dispatched to Turkey after the failed coup attempt in 2016 to repair the relationship...So the one-on-one relationship between the two may not be so bad." Negotiating tactic or political option? Ankara's uncompromising stance towards Washington could be a negotiating tactic, suggests Aydintasbas. She says Erdogan is aware that Biden's presidency's likely key goal is to confront Moscow and that Ankara can play a critical role, for a price. "No doubt, there is a lot of anger (in Washington) directed at Turkey, at president Erdogan himself. But there is also the larger geopolitical issues of very uncertain rivalry going on. There will also be a tendency to see if the US can peel Turkey back from its reliance on Russia, from the larger geopolitical rivalry with Russia. And I think Erdogan knows how to play this game; he knows how to play the US against Russia and vice versa, and that will be an interesting dance to watch," says Aydintasbas.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Donnerstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Russen stimmen mit Zweidrittelmehrheit für Putins Machterhalt Bei einer von Manipulationsvorwürfen überschatteten Abstimmung haben die Bürger in Russland die neue Verfassung angenommen. Nach Angaben der Wahlkommission stimmten nach Auszählung von 90 Prozent der Stimmzettel 78 Prozent für das neue Grundgesetz, mit dem der 67-jährige Präsident Wladimir Putin bis 2036 an der Macht bleiben könnte. 21,2 Prozent lehnten die Vorlage ab. Erste Ergebnisse wurden bereits veröffentlicht, als die Abstimmung noch nicht überall beendet war. Die Beteiligung lag bei rund 65 Prozent. Der Kremlkritiker Alexej Nawalny nannte die Ergebnisse eine "riesige Lüge". Bundesregierung: Deutschland hat "genug Reserven" an Remdesivir Das als mögliche Corona-Medizin gehandelte Medikament Remdesivir ist nach Angaben der Bundesregierung in Deutschland in ausreichendem Maße verfügbar - obwohl die USA das Mittel in großem Stil aufkaufen. Der Bund habe sich frühzeitig Remdesivir "gesichert", sagte ein Sprecher des Gesundheitsministeriums. Derzeit gebe es "genug Reserven". Das Medikament wird vom US-Konzern Gilead hergestellt und wurde ursprünglich zur Behandlung von Ebola entwickelt. In den USA und auch in Japan ist es bereits für die Behandlung von Infektionen mit dem neuartigen Coronavirus zugelassen. Türkische Minister auf Werbetour in Berlin Die Corona-Reisewarnung der Bundesregierung für die Türkei trifft besonders den Tourismus dort. Der türkische Außenminister Mevlüt Cavusoglu und Tourismusminister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy kommen deshalb an diesem Donnerstag nach Deutschland, um darüber zu sprechen. Die Reisewarnung gilt derzeit bis Ende August, die Bundesregierung hat die Türkei als Corona-Risikogebiet eingestuft. Ankara wirbt schon seit einiger Zeit um deutsche Touristen, bei denen vor allem der Ort Antalya beliebt ist. Nach Spanien und Italien lag die Türkei bislang auf Platz drei der Favoritenliste deutscher Urlauber. Erdogan will härter gegen Online-Netzwerke vorgehen Der türkische Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan hat Maßnahmen angekündigt, um Online-Netzwerke im Land stärker zu kontrollieren. In einer Videoschalte mit Vertretern seiner AKP-Partei bekundete er die Absicht, die "Unmoral" in Medien wie YouTube, Twitter und Netflix zu beseitigen. Seine Familie sei in den sozialen Medien beleidigt worden. Finanzminister Berat Albayrak, der auch Erdogans Schwiegersohn ist, hatte am Dienstag gewittert, dass seine Frau Esra ihr viertes Kind geboren habe. Die Polizei nahm später elf Verdächtige wegen "beleidigender Äußerungen" gegen Albayrak und seine Familie fest. Raab rügt China wegen des umstrittenen Sicherheitsgesetzes Der britische Außenminister Dominic Raab hat China wegen des umstrittenen Sicherheitsgesetzes für Hongkong scharf kritisiert. Er warf der regierenden Kommunistischen Partei eine "Strangulation" der Freiheiten Hongkongs vor. Das sei ein "zutiefst beunruhigender Schritt", sagte Raab im Parlament. Der chinesische Botschafter Liu Xiaoming wurde ins Außenministerium einbestellt. Liu warf Großbritannien Einmischung in die inneren Angelegenheiten Chinas vor. Tausende Hongkonger hatten am Mittwoch, dem 23. Jahrestag der Rückgabe der britischen Kronkolonie an China, gegen das Gesetz protestiert. Ukrainischer Zentralbankchef Smoli tritt überraschend zurück In der Ukraine hat der Chef der Zentralbank, Jakow Smoli, seinen Rücktritt wegen "systematischen politischen Drucks" eingereicht. Dadurch könne er seinen Pflichten nicht mehr nachkommen, schrieb der 59-Jährige. Er leitet die unabhängige Institution seit März 2018. Das Parlament und Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj müssen noch zustimmen. Der Rücktritt könnte nach Ansicht von Analysten die Eigenständigkeit der Bank und damit die Zusammenarbeit mit internationalen Geldgebern gefährden. Der Internationale Währungsfonds hatte Kiew erst im Juni einen Kredit über 2,1 Milliarden US-Dollar gewährt.

TRT World’s Daily News Brief for Friday, April 5th. *)Libya’s Haftar orders forces to march on Tripoli Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar ordered his forces to march on the UN-backed capital Tripoli. The order was given while the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was there, risking the upcoming peace talks between the rivals brokered by the UN. There has been fighting in Libya between the Tripoli government forces and Haftar-led Libyan National Army. Libya has been divided since the fall of the Gaddafi regime eight years ago. *)Court orders psych test for NZ attacker A New Zealand judge ordered the terrorist from the Christchurch mosque massacre to undergo a mental health assessment. In the attack broadcast live on Facebook, he killed 50 Muslims worshippers at two mosques with semi-automatic weapons. The self-confessed white supremacist faces 50 counts of murder and 39 for attempted murder, but the court wanted a determination on whether he’s insane, or fit to stand trial. *)Turkish FM refutes Pompeo’s readout of meeting Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement released after the two officials met did not reflect the actual language used in the gathering. Pompeo said he warned Cavusoglu about “the potential devastating consequences of unilateral Turkish military action” in northern Syria. Cavusoglu told reporters in Washington that such conversation did not take place during their meeting. *)Congress invokes powers to challenge Trump on war in Yemen The US House of Representatives approved a resolution that would end all US involvement with the Saudi-led coalition in the war in Yemen. The lawmakers voted 247 to 175 to approve the resolution, taking a historic step of curtailing a president’s war-making powers. The text cleared the Senate last month and now heads to President Donald Trump, who is expected to veto it. The White House called the measure “flawed”, warning it would harm bilateral relations in the region, including with Saudi Arabia. And finally, *)South Korea sets the pace for superfast internet connection South Korea has launched the world’s first fully-fledged 5G mobile network. A few lucky people got their hands on some of the first phones featuring super-fast 5G mobile internet in Seoul. The launch took place ahead of the planned date due to speculation that its US rival may launch earlier than expected. For now, 5G service is only available in Seoul and a couple of major cities in South Korea.
