On May 21st a Turkish court took the unprecedented step of removing the CHP's elected leadership, led by Ozgur Ozel, the latest sign of Turkish President Erdogan's tightening grip on the country. It's also a sign that Erdogan intends to run for another term as president, and with Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in prison, this move can only mean one thing: Erdogan does not intend to leave the result of a future election up to chance. The opposition has vowed it will fight back, but the broader question is whether this is the last nail in the coffin for Turkey's democracy. Can it recover, and if so, is this a fight it will have to undertake on its own? President Donald Trump's praise of Erdogan as a “tough guy” who has “done a very good job”, and the EU's wider focus on the transatlantic relationship and Ukraine, have many doubting if the West will bring any pressure down on Ankara. At the same time, another story is brewing in north Africa, where Turkey is looking to expand its influence in Libya. Recent reports are indicating a new Turkish push to engage with Benghazi, while we've also seen headlines hinting at US-Turkish coordination in Libya and a potential US effort to unify Libya. Greece is undoubtedly watching these developments closely, especially considering Turkey is likely to press Benghazi to support its illegal 2019 maritime agreement with Tripoli. Ayla Jean Yackley, Henri Barkey, Ambassador Marc Pierini, and Aya Burweila join Thanos Davelis as we break down the latest crackdown on Turkey's opposition and its wider ramifications, while looking into what Turkey is up to in Libya. A little more info on our guests: Ayla Jean Yackley is an Istanbul-based journalist covering Turkey with stories in The Financial Times, Politico, and other major outlets. Henri Barkey is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University (Emeritus).

As tensions continue to rise during the Iran War ceasefire, is true peace possible? In this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones examine the ongoing conflict with Iran and address this critical question shaping the future of the Middle East. Together, they discuss the latest developments surrounding Iran, Israel's security concerns, shifting alliances in the Middle East, and the growing international pressure for peace. Could the current conflict pave the way for greater instability—or set the stage for a temporary peace foretold in the Bible? What should Christians understand about these unfolding events, and how can believers stand with Israel during such a pivotal time?Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

durée : 00:05:22 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - En Turquie, cela fait des années que le président Recep Tayyip Erdogan incite la population à avoir au moins trois enfants, mais les couples ne suivent pas ses préconisations, dans un pays touché par par une hyper inflation.

Turkey's role in Somalia is under growing scrutiny, with the East African country embroiled in controversy over elections and Israel stepping up efforts to challenge Turkey in the region. Over the last two years Turkey has ramped up its economic and military presence in Somalia, building on decades of development. The East African country is home to Turkey's largest overseas military base and this year it bolstered its military presence, deploying F16 fighter jets and tanks. Turkey is also constructing a space port for its rapidly advancing missile programme, and the two countries have signed agreements to exploit potentially vast energy reserves. But the deepening partnership is proving increasingly controversial, says Omar Mahmood of the International Crisis Group. While five or 10 years ago there would have been "quite high praise" for Turkey's role, that's changed over the last two years. "Some of these [Turkish] contracts and projects have tipped into [a much] greater scale and that has raised questions" he noted. Turkey boosts Mali defence ties after separatist and jihadist attacks Election dispute A looming constitutional crisis is adding to the scrutiny of Turkey's role in Somalia. The Somali government is insisting it has one year left of its electoral mandate, while the opposition claims elections should be held in May. "The core issue is that the political elite are infighting about the system,” explains Mahmood. “So anytime that happens, those who are against the government wind up complaining and then also looking at who is supporting the Somali government." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's authorisation of $30 million in cash aid to the Somali government, which coincided with an April visit to Istanbul by his Somali counterpart, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, drew criticism from both the Somali and Turkish opposition. Famine looms in Somalia amid drought, dwindling aid and Middle East war “Turkey providing cash aid to the Somali government sparked the debate,” said African studies professor Elem Eyrice Tepeciklioglu, of the Social Sciences University of Ankara. “It seems some people think Turkey supports the ruling government, and provides support to the ruling government because they benefit from the relationship.” Ankara has strongly refuted accusations of interference in Somali politics. However, it could be paying the price for being too focused on Mogadishu in the past, given the diverse nature of Somalia's regions. “Turkey has started to learn from its mistakes,” said Tepeciklioglu. “They have started to increase their involvement with different states, with different regions, and have started to increase their engagement with local people as well.” Rivalry in the region Turkey is also facing a growing challenge in the region from Israel, which in April appointed an ambassador to Somaliland – becoming the first country to recognise the breakaway republic, which seceded from Somalia in 1991. “It's been useful probably for [Israel] to assert themselves against Turkey in an area where Turkey has firmly planted its flag,” said Norman Ricklefs of geopolitical consultancy, the NAMEA Group. Israeli-Turkish relations remain strained over Ankara's support of Hamas and Israel's war against Gaza and Lebanon. The Israeli government has indicated it is considering a military presence in Somaliland, to counter the threat posed by the Houthis in Yemen.  “I don't think we're at that stage yet,” said Ricklefs. "But any Israeli military presence in Somaliland is going to raise angst amongst the neighbours – Somalia, Egypt, Turkey and potentially Saudi Arabia. Obviously, it's going to be destabilising.” The risky calculations behind Israel's recognition of Somaliland The Horn of Africa could be a potential new flashpoint if Israel deploys military assets in Somaliland, agrees international relations professor Serhat Guvenc of Istanbul's Kadir Has University. "The potential for conflict between Israel and Turkey is really high, because they're pursuing diametrically opposed objectives. If relations further deteriorate, then we may see tensions running high between the two countries because they would be in almost physical contact. Their military assets may run the risk of having dangerous encounters with each other." Israeli-Turkish rivalry in the region threatens to exacerbate existing tensions in an already volatile area. For Turkey, which has invested more than €1 billion in development in Somalia over the past decade, and is also eyeing major financial returns from its energy exploration in Somalian waters, the stakes are high.

Tommy and Ben survey the wreckage of another week in global politics. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer clings to power after Labour was crushed in local elections. Tommy and Ben debate whether Starmer should step aside or stay and fight. Then they run through the latest with Iran, from the short-lived “Project Freedom” to why Trump says the ceasefire is on “life support.” They recap Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's softball interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, including Netanyahu's claim that Israel is ready to wean itself off US military support and that social media is to blame for Israel's tattered image. They preview Trump's visit to Beijing for his long-delayed summit with Xi Jinping, mock some recent fawning coverage of Marco Rubio, and recap FBI Director Kash Patel's grilling about his drinking habits by the US Senate. Finally, Ben talks with journalist Suzy Hansen about her new book, From Life Itself: Turkey, Istanbul, and a Neighborhood in the Age of Erdogan.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Several heads of state, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, are gathering in Bucharest this Wednesday for the B9 summit, which brings together NATO's eastern flank countries amid growing tensions linked to the war in Ukraine. Even in Romania, the conflict feels increasingly present. In recent months, Russian attacks have intensified against Ukrainian Danube ports located just a few hundred metres from the Romanian border. 

President Donald Trump's recent announcement that the US would pull five thousand troops from Germany took allies by surprise. The latest comments, which came in the wake of European criticism of the Iran war, were followed by a threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on automobiles and auto parts from Europe, as the US President claimed on social media that Europe was not living up to its end of a trade agreement struck last summer.  The two moves have experts and analysts wondering if this will further weaken the credibility of US deterrence in Europe, while at the same time bracing for the prospect of a renewed transatlantic trade war. Keeping one eye on the simmering tensions between the White House and the EU, we're also turning our attention this week to a report that has gone viral recently. For those following international politics on platforms like X - formerly Twitter - they're sure to have come across a page called “Clash Report”, which was also quick to post about the latest developments in the transatlantic relationship. What most people don't know, however, is that Clash Report is the English-language arm of a Turkish media operation with close ties to the Erdogan family. These connections were unmasked this past weekend. Thanos Davelis dig into all of these developments with Max Bergmann, Maria Demertzis, and Eitan Fischberger as we break down what message the withdrawal of US troops from Europe sends, whether we should prepare for another US-EU trade war, and look at who is behind Clash Report and why it matters.  Moving to our I am HALC segment, we're putting the spotlight on one of HALC's earliest members, Stathis Theodoropoulos. Stathis is a successful entrepreneur and owner of Firefly Lighting, but beyond this entrepreneurial side, Stathis is also a dedicated advocate for his local community. Aside from his commitment to Hellenic causes, he serves as a councilman in Kearny, New Jersey, where he's at the frontlines of making sure local government works for the communities it's designed to serve.  A little more info on our guests: Max Bergmann is the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Maria Demertzis, a Professor of Economic Policy at the European University Institute. Eitan Fischberger is a journalist and Open Source Intelligence Investigator.

Kate Wolf speaks to the Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Suzy Hansen about her new book, From Life Itself: Turkey, Istanbul, and a Neighborhood in the Age of Erdogan. It centers on Istanbul's neighborhood of Karagümrük, which Hansen first began reporting on in 2015. She writes about the influx of Syrian immigrants, the constant new construction, the conflicts between residents, and local muhtar's role in resolving them. Both a record of place and refraction of the global forces shaping Turkey today—not least the consolidation of power by president Erdogan—From Life Itself explores the ways that small lives become intruded on by the larger world. Hansen discusses her work as a foreign correspondent, Turkey's history, and its outsized role in current international conflicts from the war in Ukraine to Gaza and Iran.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Understanding Islam does not necessarily lead to an understanding of all Muslims. The Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Erdogan, who, unlike the leaders of most Muslim-controlled countries, wears a coat and tie. He says it best, "The term moderate Islam is ugly and defensive. There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam!"

Over the past weeks those watching the Eastern Mediterranean can't help but notice that tensions are heating up between Turkey and Israel as Erdogan's escalatory posture has some wondering what the wider risks are should this current war of words take on new dimensions. Questions range from what this will mean for US efforts to manage an already tense Middle East, to how this will impact Greece, which has developed close ties with Israel over the past decade and a half? Deciding that he needed to chime in, we heard some headscratching remarks from US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, where he dismissed these tensions as “rhetoric”, and added that “Turkey is not a country to be messed with.” These comments drew the criticism of many, including The Wall Street Journal, which accused Ambassador Barrack of undermining US policy and interests. Sinan Ciddi, Henri Barkey, and Vassilis Nedos join Thanos Davelis as we look into this escalating war of words in the Eastern Mediterranean between Turkey and Israel, break down how US Ambassador Tom Barrack is effectively pursuing his own Middle East policy that's undermining US interests, and discuss the wider impact of these developments for Greece.  This week we're also putting the spotlight on a founding member of HALC, Bill Matsikoudis, in our latest “I am HALC” segment. A successful attorney and founding partner of Matsikoudis & Fanciullo, Bill's career has also seen him work in the Administration of New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey, for Jersey City where he made headlines suing Fortune 500 companies guilty of polluting, and on Governor Mikie Sherrill's transition team for housing.

Europe is turning to Turkey to fill the security vacuum left by an increasingly unreliable United States. But as Nato's secretary-general was praising Ankara's growing military role this week, the European Commission president was placing Turkey in the same bracket as China and Russia. The contradiction points to a dilemma that is only going to deepen. Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte visited Aselsan, one of Turkey's fast-expanding defence companies and a growing arms supplier to Europe, during a trip to Ankara on Tuesday and Wednesday, using the occasion to underline the scale of threats facing the alliance.  NATO's southern anchor "Russia's war against Ukraine rages on, China's military modernisation and nuclear expansion continue, and Iran spreads terror and chaos, and you feel this here in Turkey," he said. The visit came days after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered a different message, placing Turkey alongside China and Russia as a competitor rather than an ally or membership applicant. It was a rare public signal of how deep European reservations about Ankara run, even as reliance on Turkish military capacity grows. Europe's uneasy dependency Huseyin Bagci, professor of international relations at Ankara's Middle East Technical University, says the contrast between Rutte and von der Leyen exposes a fundamental contradiction at the heart of Europe's relationship with Ankara. "What Rutte said and what von der Leyen said are two contradictory statements," he said. "Turkey is becoming less democratic. But the more America separates itself from European security, the more important Turkey will become." That dynamic is already reshaping Nato's architecture. Adana is set to host a new corps headquarters, designated MNC-TUR, under Turkish command, while Istanbul is to become the base of a new maritime command, focused on Black Sea security as part of post-war planning for Ukraine. Serhat Guvenc, a military expert at Istanbul's Kadir Has University, says Turkey's expanding capabilities and operational record make the enlarged role a natural fit. Will Turkey ditch Russian missiles for US military jets? *"Turkey's future contribution may take shape around these existing initiatives," he said, pointing to the wartime grain corridor and the Black Sea Mine Countermeasures task group as foundations to build on. Turkey has also launched an ambitious naval building programme, with modern submarines well suited to Black Sea operations. Yet the question of how far Europe can trust Ankara remains unresolved. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has maintained close ties with Vladimir Putin throughout the Ukraine war. Federico Donelli, a political scientist at the University of Trieste, says the EU is still searching for clarity on where Turkey actually stands. "Turkey has on many occasions adopted a more ambiguous stance, even in relation to the war in Ukraine," he said. "The EU would like to know whether Turkey could be a reliable partner." If Putin wins Ankara argues that its relationship with Moscow is a diplomatic asset, allowing it to serve as a potential mediator between Russia and Ukraine. Turkey has hosted peace talks between the two sides on several occasions. But Guvenc warns that calculus could shift sharply if Russia emerges victorious. "If peace comes on Putin's terms, the potential Russian threat to Turkey's interests will increase several-fold," he said. "Russia emerging from the conflict with substantial gains will be a very different story." Erdogan weighs benefits of friendlier ties with Turkey's Western allies The tension between Turkey's military indispensability and its political unpredictability is set to take centre stage at the Nato summit on 7-8 July in Ankara. With Washington's commitment to European defence still in question, European leaders may find themselves with little choice but to deepen ties with a partner many of them do not fully trust.

Entre 2016 et 2018, la Turquie a vécu sous état d'urgence dans la foulée de la tentative de coup d'État du 15 juillet 2016. Pendant cette période, des milliers de professeurs, enseignants et syndicalistes turcs opposés au régime du président Recep Tayyip Erdogan ont été limogés. Accusés d'avoir des liens avec des organisations terroristes, ils avaient été mis au ban de la société. Récompensé de l'Ours d'or du Meilleur film de la Berlinale 2026, Yellow Letters, le long-métrage d'İlker Çatak, se penche sur leur sort et réveille de douloureux souvenirs chez ces anciens membres du corps enseignant. De notre correspondante à Ankara, Can Irmak Özinanir, 44 ans, cligne des yeux à la sortie du cinéma. Il vient de voir le film Yellow Letters dont il entend parler depuis plusieurs jours. Cet ancien universitaire a été limogé par décret-loi en 2017 en Turquie. Ce film raconte en partie son histoire, ces années de flou, dans l'attente d'une décision de justice favorable. « L'incertitude, c'est le sentiment dominant ces dernières années. Ne jamais savoir ce qu'il va se passer. Et c'est une période d'incertitude qui s'installe dans le temps long. Il y a des périodes où j'avais une grande confiance en moi car nous avons bénéficié d'une grande solidarité. Mais il y a aussi des périodes où je me suis senti très seul et où cela s'est traduit par de la colère envers mon entourage », raconte Can Irmak Özinanir.

Mustafa Kemal Çoşkun, 56 ans, fait partie des universitaires limogés par décret-loi. Il a fini par être réintégré il y a trois ans, après plusieurs années de petits boulots. « Quand on est communiste, on apprend vite. J'ai appris beaucoup de choses. Par exemple, après avoir été limogé, j'ai monté un cabinet d'études. Après, j'ai repassé les concours d'entrée à l'université d'Ankara et j'ai intégré la faculté d'informatique. J'ai appris la programmation. J'ai aussi appris un programme Da Vinci Resolve. Je me suis mis à mon bureau et j'ai appris. On a pas besoin de l'État pour vivre, pour survivre », confie-t-il.

Comme de nombreux fonctionnaires, il a perdu son travail pendant l'état d'urgence. Alors, quand Yellow Letters est sorti, il a tenu à emmener sa fille de 15 ans voir le film : « J'ai emmené ma fille voir le film car elle a aujourd'hui le même âge que le personnage d'Ezgi dans le film, et qu'elle a vécu des périodes très similaires. Je voulais qu'elle comprenne ce que son père et sa mère avaient traversé. » Comme d'autres limogés, Veli Sacilik accuse la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme de les avoir abandonnés à leur sort. La Cour avait en effet stipulé que toutes les voies internes de justice devaient être épuisées avant d'examiner leurs dossiers. Pour l'heure, les réintégrations se font au compte-gouttes. Certains ont repris les chemins de l'université, d'autres attendent encore une décision du Conseil d'État. Mais ils l'assurent : aucune décision de justice ne leur rendra ces dix années d'errance.

Turkey's foreign minister has warned it could be Israel's "next enemy" as the war with Iran appears headed for closure, and called for a Middle East security pact amid rising tensions between the two countries.  "After Iran, Israel cannot live without an enemy – it has to develop a rhetoric to shape public opinion," declared Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in a television interview on Monday. "We see that not only Netanyahu's administration, but also some figures in the opposition – though not all – are seeking to declare Turkey the new enemy." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become one of the region's most vocal critics of Israel's military campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, fuelling a surge in bilateral tensions. In response, Israel accuses Erdogan of backing terrorist organisations, including Hamas, whom Erdogan has called “liberation fighters". Diplomatic ties have withered, leaving only a skeleton crew in each respective embassy. Iraq turns to Turkey for oil exports as Middle East war reshapes routes Turkish-Israeli relations have a history of highs and lows, but current tensions are unprecedented, argues Turkish security analyst Arda Mevlutoglu. "Turkey is considering Israel a security threat because of the unpredictability factor of the Israeli government,” he said, noting that Israel's unpredictability, combined with a breakdown in mutual understanding, is causing deep unease within Ankara's corridors of power. “Mutual understanding is especially critical when it comes to establishing at least a minimum amount of security environment, and the lack of such ability forces Turkey to take precautionary measures in both diplomatic, strategic and military domains as well,” he said. Baku's 'silent diplomacy' Fidan on Monday also called for the formation of a Middle East security pact – following follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent warning of an emerging radical Sunni alliance in the region, which he said is threatening Israel. Alarmed by the escalating tensions, Azerbaijan – one of the few countries with strong ties to both Turkey and Israel – has quietly entered the fray. “We are behind the scenes through the silent diplomacy, effectively contributing to de-conflict certain elements of the misunderstandings and also building a certain trust and channels of communication between the two parties,” said Hikmet Haciyev, assistant to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and head of the country's Department of Foreign Affairs. Turkey-Azerbaijan alliance strained by opposing stances on Israel With Turkey and Israel both having a military hold in Syria, the country is a potential flashpoint. The Baku talks saw the creation of a hotline between Turkish and Israeli militaries to avoid any accidental clashes between their air forces, which routinely fly over Syria. But with two Israeli ministers last year calling for the assassination of the Syrian President Ahmed al-Assad, a key ally of Erdogan, Syria remains a hotspot, and Fidan warned on Monday that Israel could target Syria after the Iran conflict. Washington's role Turkey expert Gallia Lindenstrauss of Tel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies, while acknowledging Baku's role, says more needs to be done. “I would say tensions between Turkey and Israel are high enough that the United States also has to be involved. And I think there's a wider understanding in Washington that they should play this role." Asli Aydintasbas, head of the Turkey Project at the Washington-based Brookings Institution think tank, agrees. Turkey pushes for European missile defence deal amid Iran tensions "Washington certainly has to step in and do more in order to mediate between Turkey and Israel. This is a very, very dangerous rivalry and it has the hallmarks of emerging into a long-term enmity,” she warned. However, Aydintasbas questions Washington's readiness and ability. “Traditionally, it's been the US role, actually, to mediate between Turkey and Israel. The Trump administration, though, is not very focused on it. This is not the kind of stuff the Trump administration excels in – the painstaking, cumbersome work of diplomacy, of roadmaps, confidence-building measures and so on," she said. The formidable strength of both the Israeli and Turkish militaries serves as a strong deterrent against open conflict. Yet, as both nations vie for influence across overlapping arenas – from the Gulf States to the Horn of Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean – the risk of escalation and regional destabilisation continues to cast a long shadow.

Ghost breaks down what may be one of the most significant geopolitical shifts in years: a US/Iran peace deal that has the Strait of Hormuz reopening, oil prices dropping, and Trump publicly putting Netanyahu on notice. Ghost walks through Trump's Truth Social blitz, Steve Bannon's signal-setting role, and the "Venezuela model" now playing out with Iran. From the Strait of Malacca to an Iraq/Saudi pipeline revival, a US troop exit from Syria, and Erdogan emerging as a key player, this episode covers the full board. Africa gets its moment too, with DRC rare earth tensions and Russia deepening Congo ties. If you thought the Middle East narrative was winding down, think again: Ghost argues it is just reorganizing.

Een gesprek met Zelensky De Oekraïense president brengt een tour langs Europese steden. Journalist en presentator Maaike Schoon interviewde hem voor VPRO's Buitenhof en sprak onder meer over de Oekraïense stad Boetsja, vier jaar na de gruwelijkheden daar. Volgens Zelensky een omkeerpunt in de oorlog, dat hem voorgoed heeft veranderd.    04:40: Hongaarse inspiratie voor Turkije Het Hongaarse verkiezingsresultaat leidt tot vreugde onder de Turkse oppositie, die al decennia vecht tegen het autocratisch bewind van Erdogan. Welke lessen trekken zij uit het Hongaars voorbeeld? We vragen het Suzan Yücel, NRC-correspondent in Turkije.   13:59: Venezolaanse oppositieleider wil snel verkiezingen Volgens de Venezolaanse oppositieleider en winnaar van de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede María Corina Machado kan binnen negen maanden verkiezingen worden gehouden in Venezuela.

Drink from this well and you will never be thirsty. Hearing the truth refreshes us. Infiltrate the universities and you will soon control the government. Qatar is suing to hide Texas funding records. Our oil refineries are in danger. Shaping what's considered normal. Turkey and the Islamic Brotherhood are tied. Remember that Turkey is a NATO member. An attack on one member is an attack on all. The S-400 moment. Erdogan is not confused. He has a vision. The playbook was perfected in Syria. Nobody is connecting the Iraq part of the story. Iraq is all about oil and has only two ways to export it. Why Northern Iraq was eliminated. Kurdish revenues have been hurt too. Controls are now placed on choke points. Steal it or pump it because the oil has to move. The PKK enters the picture. Desalination plants are under threat. Every dependency is a lever. What's happening in Iraq is extortion. Some want to be in the background and not the main story. Why would Russia turn off Turkey's gas? LNG carrier rates suffer big shocks. Qatar too. There will be explosions in our country. Let's apply the Brotherhood designations consistently. We're in the long game stage now. Hold on tight and may God bless America.

En premier reportage, direction la Turquie, un an après l'emprisonnement du maire d'Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu. C'est précisément le 19 mars 2025 après plusieurs mois d'une saga judiciaire qu'il est arrêté, lui qui dans la foulée sera désigné candidat de son parti pour la présidentielle de 2028... Le second reportage aura un goût de vacances, direction la Norvège et les fabuleux paysages des Lofoten, mais les habitants, les infrastructures, et la nature ploient sous le flot de touristes. Turquie : une année amère pour l'opposition En Turquie, le 19 mars 2025, après plusieurs mois d'une tension judiciaire grandissante, Ekrem Imamoglu est arrêté. Il est le maire d'Istanbul. La grande métropole turque est sous les projecteurs. Dans une vidéo, il s'adresse à la nation alors que la police est à sa porte. Quelques jours plus tard, alors que le Parti républicain du peuple (CHP) le désigne comme candidat à l'élection présidentielle, il est placé en détention, pour des accusations de corruption.  Alors qu'il est considéré comme le principal opposant au président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan, son arrestation provoque à Istanbul et dans les autres principales villes du pays une vague de contestation jamais connue depuis les manifestations de Gezi en 2013. Depuis, les opposants n'ont pas lâché prise. Un Grand reportage de Mathilde Warda qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.   Surtourisme aux Lofoten : mémoire et culture en résistance En Norvège, les îles Lofoten ont acquis avec l'essor d'Instagram et de Tiktok une notoriété inattendue. Chaque année, un flot de plus d'un million de touristes vient cohabiter avec une petite population locale de 25 000 personnes. Conséquences : dégradation des espaces naturels, excréments humains dans les jardins et les cimetières, mais aussi la perte d'identité. Le rorbur, la petite maison rouge typique des pêcheurs, est devenu le symbole par excellence d'Airbnb, effaçant peu à peu la grande tradition séculaire de la pêche. Un Grand reportage de Danae Rivadeneyra qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Preview for later. Sinan Ciddi discusses Turkey's strategic hedging in the Iran war. Erdogan prefers the Iranian regime's survival to prevent regional instability, mass migration, and domestic democratic pressure while continuing support for Hamasproxies. (2)1935 ANKARA

It's truly all about the close calls in life, and not the wealth or status. Strangers appear to save us, and then vanish. How about that money that finances empires. The war is for global currency dominance. Iran is always a week from having nukes. Canada parts become USA? It's a decades old story. Russia is securing naval bases on the Red Sea. Targeting data on ships passing is made easy. To blunt an oil price spike, the Trump admin eased sanctions on Russia. Is Putin working with us? They all have hands up their butts controlling what they say. Everyone underestimates Turkey. Erdogan is riding a pole.The Nephalim had six fingers. Iran is being militarily and economically degraded. In Syria, some real bad things happened, and we're still bombing. China is on rotation for blue helmet duty at the UN. Our President tells us so many things without actually telling us. We've already won, you just don't know it yet. In the age of information, ignorance is a choice. There are those who want this to be a biblical level bad ending. The plan we are watching was actually formed two decades ago. They get old faster than phones. Methods change. Dinosaurs get left behind. Corrupt judges continue to persecute Tina Peters. Justice and humanity demand her release.

This week kicked off with Turkey announcing the deployment of a number of fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, a move that not only represents a significant escalation in the militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean, where Cyprus has already been targeted by Iranian-made drones, but that may also violate US law. This isn't the only thing putting Cyprus in the headlines this week. Axios and the Financial Times reported Cyprus could potentially mediate talks between Israel and Lebanon after violence broke out between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group. Turkey's moves in the Eastern Mediterranean aren't the only thing worrying analysts and observers. Developments on the domestic front are also keeping those watching the region on alert, as the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu, the imprisoned mayor of Istanbul, kicked off this week. Imamoglu's trial is largely seen as politically motivated and an effort to prevent him from challenging President Erdogan. Sinan Ciddi, Elisa Ewers, Lisel Hintz, and Henri Barkey join Thanos Davelis this week as we take a closer look at Turkey's decision to deploy fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, Israel's escalating offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're spotlighting Eleni Delimpaltadaki Janis, a founding member of HALC with a career that spans across government and the private sector. This includes serving as Vice President at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and working to transform and solve some of the world's most persistent socio-economic problems as a founder of Equivico. Stay tuned as we dig into her story. A little more info on our guests: Sinan Ciddi is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and director of its Turkey program. Elisa Ewers is a senior fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Lisel Hintz is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. Henri Barkey is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bernard L. and Bertha F. Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University (Emeritus). You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

Tuesday's episode of The A.M. Update with Aaron McIntire tracks the fluid status of the Iran conflict, where President Trump touts over 5,000 targets struck, massive declines in Iranian missile and drone capabilities, and a potential short-term operation while holding back on devastating infrastructure hits. Conflicting signals emerge on the war's timeline, alongside reports of a new Supreme Leader named amid questions about his status and a regime using a cardboard cutout in ceremonies. Tensions rise with missile incidents near Turkey drawing sharp warnings from Erdogan, potential activation of Iranian sleeper cells abroad, and a dramatic single-day oil price drop from $116 to under $90 per barrel due to safer Strait of Hormuz transit and G7 reserve discussions. Domestic news covers a foiled IED plot by self-radicalized teens in New York linked to terrorism charges, renewed scrutiny on James Talarico with more unearthed comments, an NBC poll showing low favorability for AI and various political figures, a DOJ-Ticketmaster antitrust deal with divestitures and fines, and Qatar's foreign minister publicly expressing deep betrayal over Iran's attacks on Gulf neighbors, prompting analysis of the small nation's long-term triangulation strategy for survival.   A.M.

Here's some real news that will shock the normal people. Scripted world events are happening that the MSM won't touch. Subscribing to rigid ideologies generates worldwide problems. Russia's balancing act on energy is looking shaky. They lose, we don't. Eurasian struggles occur over power issues. Control the tap and call the shots. The huge geopolitical lessons of the day. Real wars occur that aren't on TV. The geographic chessboard is real. Let's start with the recent history of Yugoslavia. It got help in falling apart. Regional power struggles in action. Find fault lines and wire them to explode. History's extraordinary ironies are showing. The Ottoman Empire represented the beating heart of Islam. Turkey created Sharia law. Yes, our intel people were involved. No American citizens are dying for Israel. Geography provides unreal dynamics, and genocide. Cyprus was always screwed. The world's throat is the Bosporus Straight. Who are the new Ottomans? Erdogan is playing big cards. China's Belt and Road project produces political pressures. We needed Turkey, so that changed NATO's game. Don't forget the Saudi Turkey shadow war to control Sunni Islam. For those understanding the puzzle, the pieces are fitting together in an alarming way.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the situation in Iran is dire for the Iranian people. There's a holocaust taking place in Iran where the regime is brutally suppressing protests. The victims are primarily young people who simply want basic freedoms. Thousands are imprisoned, tortured, raped, summarily executed, or already dead with communications cut off. America needs to act decisively against this seventh century barbarian regime. Meanwhile, Tukey's Erdogan is trying to wipe out the Kurds. As time goes on, the urgency and immediacy for helping the Iranian people lessens in the public mind and among the decision-makers. Already, the media are losing interest. This is very worrisome. Later, the Wall Street Journal's accidental admission reveals that tariffs are not merely taxes but tools of foreign policy and diplomacy. The Constitution assigns Congress the power of the purse while granting the President plenary power over foreign policy and national security. Tariffs often intertwine these areas, making judicial intervention impractical and unwise, as courts would end up deciding case-by-case whether a tariff is more about national security or taxation, leading to endless litigation. Furthermore, the Islamo Nazi Iranian regime's leader Khamenei is executing protesters, even non-protesters on the streets. The media and politicians are growing bored of this and moving on from the issue despite the continuing atrocities. Economic pressure is insufficient, as Iran's economy is already nearly collapsed - Khamenei must be eliminated and sent to hell. Meanwhile, the Syrian leader is a mass murdering terrorist, not a reformer – he's horrifically slaughtering the Kurds while ISIS roams free in Syria due to actions by Erdogan and others. Finally, a candidate has every right to challenge election results, as President Trump did in 2020. Any candidate may legally question an election, claim it was stolen, or pursue alternate slates of electors - none of these actions are criminal. Jack Smith's criminal prosecution of Trump was a major assault on the Constitution and the Republic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Meanwhile, the Syrian leader is a mass murdering terrorist, not a reformer – he's horrifically slaughtering the Kurds while ISIS roams free in Syria due to actions by Erdogan and others. Also, NATO issued a statement following President Donald Trump's announcement of a framework deal on Greenland with NATO Secretary General Mark Root, which could involve the US gaining sovereignty over small pockets of land there for military bases. Trump aggressively moved the needle through his bold statements and negotiation tactics, sparking serious discussions that didn't exist. Later, Sen Bill Hagerty calls in and explains that Trump is keeping military action against Iran as a viable option by deploying two carrier strike groups to the region, demonstrating an impressive and unique show of American force. This is a powerful message to a regime that only respects strength. He also explains that the protests against ICE are highly contrived and coordinated. They are attempting to destabilize the country by repeating the George Floyd playbook ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the situation in Iran is dire for the Iranian people. Theres a holocaust taking place in Iran where the regime is brutally suppressing protests. The victims are primarily young people who simply want basic freedoms. Thousands are imprisoned, tortured, raped, summarily executed, or already dead with communications cut off.  America needs to act decisively against this seventh century barbarian regime. Meanwhile, Turkey's Erdogan is trying to wipe out the Kurds. Also, Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan have been invited as Board of Peace members without Israel's prior knowledge. Benjamin Netanyahu firmly rejects allowing any of Qatar or Turkey's soldiers into Gaza. We ought to listen to the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel, which has repeatedly warned against trusting figures like Ambassador Tom Barrack and Erdogan. Rather than pressuring Netanyahu, the U.S. should heed Israel's cautions based on its long regional experience. Later, the unrest in cities like Minneapolis is not driven by ordinary Americans with grievances, but by Marxists, Islamists, illegal aliens, shadowy billionaires funding and organizing it, and foreign entities such as Qatar, Iran, and Communist China providing financial support while using bots and propagandists on social media. This is the enemy within already present in the country. Afterward, Richard Goldberg, Senior Adviser Foundation for Defense of Democracies, calls in and describes the ongoing brutal repression in Iran, including nightly protests clashing with regime forces, mass arrests, secret nighttime executions, torture, forced televised confessions, and families left searching for disappeared loved ones, while the members of uprising remain alive. He is convinced President Trump will act decisively against the regime, viewing him as the first U.S. president since 1979 to fully grasp and confront Iran's decades-long war on America. Finally, Mark Goldfeder, CEO of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, criticizes New York Mayor Mamdani's early decision to reverse an executive order adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which recognizes that certain forms of anti-Zionism can cross into antisemitism.  This rollback is disturbing and signals a deliberate reduction in protections for Jewish people and reflecting Mamdani's worldview.
