Israel's controversial strike on an airbase in northern Syria close to Turkey was "first and foremost a message to the United States" that Turkish military penetration deeper into Syrian territory "can be turned into a real and total war," and any U.S. policy that tolerates it is "not sustainable," according to Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. The attack has been criticized as an election ploy by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While Yanarocak said such considerations may have played a role in its timing, he stressed that Turkey's ambitions in post-Assad Syria are a legitimate source of deep concern for Israel. Israel's military establishment sees them as a substantial threat and pushed for the attack after Turkey ignored warnings. The past three years of war have shifted the balance of power in Turkey's favor with the weakening of both Iran and the Gulf states, he explained in a conversation with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer. He discussed the bold ambitions of the country led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the key role Syria plays in them. "The public discourse in Turkey is neo-Ottomanism," Yanarocak said. "Putting it more familiar to the American ears: 'Make Turkey Great Again' … Turkey is thinking very big."

Purges: How Dictators Fight to Survive (Cornell University Press, 2026) by Dr. Edward Goldring delves into one of the key tactics that autocrats deploy to maintain power: the removal of individuals from within the regime. From Kim Jong Un's execution of his uncle to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's removal of over a hundred Turkish generals, purges bear significant consequences for the survival and endurance of autocrats. Yet much remains unknown about why dictators use purges and whether they achieve their intended effects. Drawing on an original global dataset on civilian and military elite purges in dictatorships in addition to case studies spanning North and South Korea as well as Turkey, Dr. Goldring examines the logic behind purges and their consequences. He shows that dictators purge to consolidate power, punish disloyalty, and scapegoat elites to alleviate popular threats. But even as purges help dictators consolidate power early in their tenure, purges actually weaken their position when they have been in power for a long time, prompting pushback. In the face of an increasing global shift toward authoritarian norms, Purges offers critical insight into how autocrats maintain—and sometimes lose—power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Özgür Özel'in abdest alırken çekilen görüntüleri ve ardından yaptığı “Cuma namazını kaçırmam” açıklaması gündem olmuşken, yıllar önce yaptığım bir haber geldi aklıma. Yıl 2010'du. Bir okurumuz, dönemin Başbakanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın Kur'an-ı Kerim okurken kaydedilen görüntülerini göndermişti. Başbakan, Rize'de vefat eden bir komşusunun taziyesine gitmiş, burada Bakara Suresi'nin bir bölümünü okurken cep telefonuyla kayda alınmıştı.
Vor zehn Jahren scheiterte der Putschversuch gegen den türkischen Präsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Es folgten Massenentlassungen und Repressionen. Wie prägt das die Türkei heute? Eine Reportage von Benjamin Weber.
From Suzy Hansen, whose previous book, Notes on a Foreign Country, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, From Life Itself: Turkey, Istanbul, and a Neighborhood in the Age of Erdoğan (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2026) is a story for a world out of joint. An absorbing account of one neighborhood in Istanbul that has seen profound change, it offers lessons for all of us who feel the pressure of the disorienting global forces remaking our lives. Karagümrük, a neighborhood once dominated by Ottoman-era homes, is now known for petty thieves, cheap apartment blocks, and an influx of Syrian refugees. It's here that Hansen went looking for the truth behind the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's authoritarian turn, a catastrophic regional war, and an accelerating geopolitical crisis. She asks: Was Turkey a harbinger of what would soon arise in other countries, the resurgence of authoritarianism? Or do the lives in this neighborhood, and the transformations of Erdoğan's Turkey, reveal a more complex story? During a decade spent reporting from Karagümrük, Hansen discovered the neighborhood's secrets and got to know some of its people: Ismail, the longtime muhtar, or neighborhood councilman; Huseyin, a loyalist in Erdoğan's Islamic nationalist AK Party; and Ebru, a real estate agent and mother with ambitions to unseat Ismail. Through these local perspectives, Hansen connects the events unfolding in Karagümrük to the forces roiling Turkey, the Middle East, and the world, capturing the sweep of the last ten years in microcosm.

Rob also argues that America's foreign policy has unintentionally strengthened Erdoğan's position, while examining the growing relationship between Donald Trump and Turkey.Is Turkey now beyond the point of democratic recovery? What happens when Erdoğan eventually leaves power? And what lessons should Europe and the United States take from Turkey's political trajectory?Join Rob Morris and Ruairi for an in-depth discussion on one of the world's most important—and often misunderstood, countries.Topics covered:Erdoğan's consolidation of power, Turkish politics and democracy, Turkey and NATO, Syria and the Middle East, The Russia–Ukraine war, Donald Trump and Turkey, Turkish economy and inflation, The future of Turkish democracy, Geopolitics and international relations#Turkey #Erdogan #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #NATO #Politics #Democracy #InternationalRelations #Trump #Syria #Ukraine #PodcastSubstackPatreonWebsiteBooksTwitterTikTok
Am 15. Juli 2016 putschen Teile des Militärs in der Türkei, zum vierten Mal in der Geschichte der Republik. Erstmals aber scheitert die gewaltsame Machtübernahme, die Regierung und Präsident Erdoğan bleiben im Amt. Für Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ein „Sieg des Volkes“. Und auch die Gelegenheit, demokratische Rechte und rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien in rasantem Tempo weiter zu demontieren. Welche Folgen hat der Putsch noch heute? Und wohin steuert die Türkei 10 Jahre danach? Pia Masurczak diskutiert mit Ciğdem Akyol – Journalistin und Erdogan-Biographin; Aret Demirci – Leiter Friedrich Naumann-Stiftung, Istanbul; Dastan Jasim – Politikwissenschaftlerin, GIGA-Institut Hamburg
Eric and Eliot catch up for the first time in a month after returning from overseas. They break down the latest jackassery, from Graham Platner's campaign implosion to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gifting revolvers and live, gold-plated ammunition to the heads of state at the recent NATO summit. They assess the NATO summit more broadly and note the caveats to Trump's promise to provide Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile defense interceptors. Eric unpacks his recent Bulwark piece on the conspiracy of silence at the gathering related to Turkey's democratic backsliding. They also discuss recent investigations into China's assistance to Russia's war effort, the state of the "ceasefire" with Iran, and Rahm Emanuel's speech in Tel Aviv. Finally, they trade observations from their travels to France and Eastern Europe.Eliot's latest in the Atlantic (gift link):https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/america-france-enduring-relationship/687844/?gift=KGDC3VdV8jaCufvP3bRsPg9Zn56KAT0A_Vk94nJcGVU&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareEric's latest in the Bulwark:https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-one-word-trump-wont-say-in-turkey-nato-summit-democracy-human-rights-europe-erdoganNate Swanson on Iran overplaying its hand:https://www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/iran-won-war-may-lose-peaceHoward Altman on the problems with the Ukraine Patriot licensing deal:https://www.twz.com/land/ukraine-built-patriot-missiles-wont-be-defending-the-countrys-skies-anytime-soonMichael Weiss, Roman Dobrokhotov, and Christo Grozev on China and Russia's targeting of Starlink:https://theins.press/en/inv/294635Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
Vor zehn Jahren scheitert ein Militärputsch gegen Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – und markiert einen Bruch für die Türkei. Aus einem Hoffnungsträger der Demokratie, der Korruption bekämpfen will, die Wirtschaft stabilisiert und das Land Richtung EU steuert, wird Schritt für Schritt ein Präsident mit nahezu unbegrenzter Macht. Kristina Karasu hat für den WDR intensiv zu Erdoğan recherchiert und mit vielen Wegbegleiter:innen gesprochen. Sie erzählt, wie Erdoğan vom Mann des Volkes zum machthungrigen Präsidenten wurde – und warum ihm dieses System der Macht in Zukunft gefährlich werden könnte.

Çeyrek asırlık dönemde Türkiye'de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, önce başbakan sonra cumhur-başkanı olarak görevde iken ABD'de kimler geldi, kimler geçti? Sırasıyla bakalım. Oğul Buş 2001-2009, Obama 2009-2017, Tramp 2017-2021, Baydın 2021-2025, ve tekrar Tramp 2025'ten bugüne.
La manifestazione organizzata a Napoli dal centrosinistra avrebbe dovuto mostrare unità, partecipazione e capacità di costruire un'alternativa politica. Ha finito tuttavia per produrre una sequenza di errori comunicativi e organizzativi: la presenza dei contestatori nelle prime file, le reazioni improvvisate di Giuseppe Conte, una regia visiva approssimativa e una fotografia finale nella quale i quattro leader sono tutti insieme, ma guardano in direzioni diverse. In questa puntata parto proprio dalle immagini diventate virali: Giuseppe Conte che cerca di reagire alle contestazioni, Elly Schlein, Angelo Bonelli e Nicola Fratoianni sul palco, l'assenza di una gestione efficace degli spazi e una comunicazione visiva caratterizzata da luci poco curate, sfondo scuro, inquadrature discutibili e materiali promozionali (una card pubblicata sui social) di qualità molto bassa. La comunicazione e la cura per i dettagli rivelano il modo in cui un'organizzazione lavora, stabilisce le priorità e cura i dettagli. Se non si riesce a organizzare efficacemente una manifestazione, l'effetto simbolico rischia inevitabilmente di estendersi alla percezione della futura capacità di governo, se mai questi leader verranno messi alla prova in quel senso. Dall'approssimazione del Campo Largo passo poi a Roberto Vannacci, che continua a conquistare attenzione attraverso azioni fisiche capaci di trasformarsi immediatamente in contenuti politici. Il suo triathlon sportivo in Liguria è un esempio di “credibility-enhancing display” (CREDs), un comportamento costoso che aumenta la credibilità percepita di chi lo compie. Il sottotesto è semplice: se ci metto il corpo, significa che credo davvero in ciò che dico. È lo stesso meccanismo che da tempo analizzo attraverso numerosi casi della comunicazione politica contemporanea: Javier Milei che porta una motosega sul palco, Zohran Mamdani che si immerge nelle acque gelide durante il Polar Bear Plunge, Beppe Grillo che attraversa a nuoto lo Stretto di Messina, Donald Trump e Silvio Berlusconi che trasformano il corpo, gli oggetti e le immagini in moltiplicatori della credibilità politica. Vannacci utilizza lo stesso codice e rilancia persino la competizione corporea con Grillo: il mio corpo è più resistente del tuo, quindi la mia convinzione è più credibile della tua. Il problema è che molti politici, soprattutto a sinistra, continuano ad amplificare proprio il frame di Vannacci. Ogni attacco, ogni dichiarazione indignata e ogni intervento televisivo contribuiscono a mantenerlo al centro della scena. Pier Ferdinando Casini ha sintetizzato la strategia più razionale: ignorarlo. Perché, come sappiamo, persino una smentita continua ad alimentare l'inquadratura che vorrebbe cancellare. Analizzo poi la comunicazione di Silvia Salis durante la missione istituzionale a New York, in cui si mostra viaggiare in Business Class. Ancora una volta, il punto è il significato prodotto dalle immagini: un racconto patinato, ambienti esclusivi e una rappresentazione visiva che rischia di trasmettere distanza rispetto alla vita quotidiana delle persone non fa bene alla sinistra. La comunicazione del lusso è legittima, tuttavia nel marketing politico diventa un problema percettivo. In politica il mezzo diventa messaggio: l'aereo, l'elicottero, l'abbigliamento, il luogo e la distanza prossemica contribuiscono tutti alla costruzione del personaggio, così come nel mondo non politico: da Papa Leone al concerto di Ultimo a Tor Vergata. Parlo inoltre del rapporto comunicativo tra Giorgia Meloni e Donald Trump, della notizia relativa ai contatti con Recep Tayyip Erdoğan prima del vertice NATO e del successivo meme pubblicato da Trump in cui parla di "ordine restrittivo" per lei. Quando diventa pubblica la preoccupazione per le possibili iniziative comunicative di un interlocutore, l'emozione trasmessa è la paura. E la paura colloca inevitabilmente l'altro in una posizione di dominanza. Trump conosce perfettamente questi meccanismi e produce imprevedibilità, costringendo gli interlocutori a reagire all'interno della sua cornice. Nella puntata commento anche la nuova strategia di Matteo Renzi con la campagna “Quando c'era lei”, e la scelta di costruire fin dal titolo il frame del “dopo Meloni”; l'uso ormai ripetitivo dell'accusa di fascismo; il il rischio di provocare reattanza psicologica negli elettori; la stretta di mano tra Trump ed Erdoğan al vertice NATO, impegnati in una reciproca esibizione di dominanza non verbale; il ruolo degli occhiali da sole nel rendere indecifrabili le emozioni e propongo ancora una volta l'estensione dell'approccio di Trump con il celebre esperimento psicologico della “still face”. Prima di definire pazzi i protagonisti della politica, dovremmo imparare a osservare gli effetti concreti delle loro azioni comunicative. Perché corpi, immagini, oggetti, distanze e movimenti raccontano spesso molto più delle parole, e delle nostre paure.
“Someone said, oh, you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that… No, I just shaved my hair and lost some pounds.” — Kaya Genç on Trumpism's global fanbase The NATO circus rumbled into the Turkish capital of Ankara this week resembling more of a gun show than an alliance summit. Ringmaster Donald J. Trump promised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the F-35s and lifted the very sanctions that Trump himself had imposed. Erdogan handed out pistols to the assembled leaders — with poor old Keir Starmer (no Winston Churchill) leaving his at the airport. And observing all these clowns from Istanbul was the Turkish novelist and essayist Kaya Genç. As a contributor to the anthology How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, Genç is a keen America watcher. He first set foot in the United States in January 2017, stumbling into New York City's protests against Trump 1.0's Muslim-ban. What seemed temporary — Trump as a bizarre historical aberration — looked to Erdogan-literate Kaya Genç like an operating manual for 21st century populist authoritarianism. Turkey, Genç argues, has spent a century Americanizing itself. First with the 20th century Marshall Plan, the highways, the Hilton hotels, and finally an American-style executive presidency operating on the politics of referendum. Now, he says, the whole world — from Turkey to France and Britain — is living with the consequences of 21st century Americanization. Like a more functional NATO, right-wing populists operate like an international alliance. Erdogan, Trump, Meloni, Le Pen and Farage are like a club in which projecting strength at summits buys impunity at home. And this club has a house style. Turkish right-wing columnists, Genç reports, deploy Michael Corleone on their X banners — exactly David Thomson's warning earlier this week about Hollywood's glorification of on-screen violence. So, in a way, America observers like Kaya Genç got a sneak preview of Trump's America in movies like The Godfather. First as cinema, then as life. From both Turkey and Russia with love. Five Takeaways • NATO: The Club of the Mighty. The night before the summit, activists were rounded up in Ankara — LGBTQ rights defenders, labor unionists, journalists — as threats to NATO security. In Turkish civil society, Genç explains, NATO doesn't represent the liberal world order; it represents the mighty, and has since the writers of the 1960s. The summit itself was a military passion show: jets overhead, revolvers gifted among the attendees, and a host country whose ruling politicians no longer hide that arms exports — including the drones Ukraine used so effectively — are now the mission of the Turkish economy. • Trump: A Star Among Right-Wing Voters Everywhere. In India, a chubbier, longer-haired Genç was once told: you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that. The Turkish media savaged Biden but forgives Trump everything — Netanyahu is the villain of the Turkish press, while Trump speaks the language. Not Turkish (though he tried a phrase): the language of the presidential system. The Turkish right's America has always been selective — yes to the death penalty and gun ownership, no to labor rights, free expression, and the trans movement — an instinct as old as the poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy's advice to copy Germany's industriousness and leave out the decadence. • Living the Consequences of Americanization. Turkey began its republic in the 1920s on the European model — parliament, proportional voices for an ethnically diverse country. After the Marshall Plan, it re-forged itself on the American one: highways, Hilton hotels, burger joints, and eventually an American-style executive presidency, approved by referendum over the objections of people like Genç. That's why Trump 1.0 read so differently in the two countries: in New York it looked like an exception to be fought off; in Ankara it looked like how American politics works — and something to imitate. • Populists Learn Like Large Language Models. Did Erdogan create the model, or is Trump teaching Erdogan? Neither, says Genç: it's a dialogue — right-wing populism learning from itself the way AI learns from language models. The AKP ran a Gramscian culture war through the institutions; Meloni, Le Pen, and Farage apply the cosmetic soft brush that makes fascist-rooted politics presentable. Join the club, project strength at the summit, and whatever you do domestically stops mattering. Putin, notably, is not in the curriculum: Turkey is returning its S-400s to get the F-35s, and Russia is becoming a footnote. • The Hologram and the Pushback. Ekrem Imamoglu — the Istanbul mayor Genç profiles in The Dial as the hologram candidate — won the city with socialist municipalism, and the skeptics who warned it would alienate the pious were simply wrong. Soft liberalism, the faith Genç himself held since the nineties, is disappearing; the pushback is finding its heroes in dead poets — Rosa Luxemburg, and Sevgi Soysal, whose novel Walking is out in English from New York Review Books. From Istanbul to Middle America, Mamdani to AOC, Genç's advice to the left is the same: don't fragment — conquer the big parties. About the Guest Kaya Genç is a novelist and essayist from Istanbul. He is the author of Under the Shadow: Rage and Revolution in Modern Turkey and The Lion and the Nightingale, and his writing appears in The Dial, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Index on Censorship, and Jewish Quarterly.

President Trump went to Turkey to meet Erdogan. Before that meeting, he should understand what Israel is facing.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has become one of Israel's greatest strategic threats. Turkey is a jihadi Muslim Brotherhood led country, while remaining a key member of NATO. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has even called for international sanctions against Israel.As jihadi Iran's influence has been weakened, the Sunni jihadist threat led by Erdogan's Turkey is becoming increasingly dangerous. Israel cannot afford to believe the war is over. The Middle East respects strength, not weakness. History has shown that withdrawals, concessions, and failed peace processes have only encouraged more terrorism and violence.For lasting security, Israel must maintain control over liberated territory, eliminate terrorist threats, and build a permanent future with Jewish communities rooted in strength, deterrence, and Jewish sovereignty. Peace comes through victory, not illusions.Watch this analysis on why President Trump should understand Turkey's growing threat, and why Israel's strategy today will shape the future of the entire free world.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Weiter Waffen und Geld für die Ukraine, eine neue Arbeitsteilung sowie die „russische Gefahr“ – das sind die Hauptthemen des NATO-Gipfels in AnkaraEin Kommentar von Tilo Gräser.Der Gipfel der NATO in Ankara beschäftigt sich mit weit mehr als nur den Fragen der Verteidigung des Bündnisgebietes. Das soll angeblich die einzige Aufgabe der NATO seit ihrer Gründung 1949 sein. Längst ist die Legende, es handele sich bei ihr um ein Verteidigungsbündnis, widerlegt, spätestens mit dem Überfall auf Jugoslawien 1999.Am Dienstag und Mittwoch treffen sich die Staats- und Regierungschefs der inzwischen 32 Mitgliedsländer des westlichen Kriegsbündnisses NATO in der türkischen Hauptstadt Ankara. Der mediale Mainstream ergeht sich in Vermutungen, welche Beschlüsse bei dem insgesamt 36. NATO-Gipfel verabschiedet werden. Die Türkei ist zum zweiten Mal nach 2004 in Istanbul Gastgeber. Wenn dieser Text erscheint, wird in Ankara noch beraten, beschlossen und verkündet.„Im Mittelpunkt der Beratungen stehen die Geschlossenheit des Bündnisses, die Verteidigungsausgaben der Mitgliedstaaten, der Krieg in der Ukraine, die regionale Sicherheit sowie die Zusammenarbeit in der Rüstungsindustrie“, kündigte die türkische Zeitung Hürriyet in ihrer deutschen Online-Ausgabe am Montag an. Am Dienstag kamen zum NATO-Forum zur Verteidigungsindustrie Vertreter der Bündnisstaaten und der internationalen Rüstungsindustrie zusammen. Außerdem trafen sich die Außenminister der NATO mit ihren Amtskollegen aus den Staaten der Istanbul Cooperation Initiative. Dazu gehören neben der Türkei Bahrain, Kuwait, Katar und die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Darüber hinaus veranstaltete laut der Zeitung das türkische Verteidigungsministerium einen Empfang für die Verteidigungsminister der NATO sowie für Vertreter aus Australien, Japan, Neuseeland und Südkorea.Die eigentlichen Beratungen der Staats- und Regierungschefs der Mitgliedstaaten sollen laut Hürriyet am Mittwoch erfolgen. Mit Spannung wird erwartet, was US-Präsident Donald Trump dabei von sich geben wird. Den Berichten nach stehen auf Trumps Plan ab Dienstag Gespräche mit dem türkishen Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sowie dem Kiewer Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj, außerdem mit dem syrischen Präsidenten und früheren islamistischen Terroristen Ahmad al-Sharaa. Mit Selenskyj will Trump demnach über ein Ende des Krieges in der Ukraine reden.Selenskyj will weiter in die NATODoch das scheint anhaltend in weiter Entfernung beziehungsweise keine Frage von Gesprächen von wem auch immer zu sein. Gerade haben die russischen Truppen die Stadt Konstantinowka eingenommen, eine der wichtigen ukrainischen Festungs- und Verteidigungspunkte im Donbass. Das geschah zu einem Zeitpunkt, als westliche Politiker und Medien wieder einmal von einem möglichen Kiewer Sieg fabulierten. Anlass dafür waren und sind ukrainische Drohnenangriffe auf Ziele in der Tiefe Russlands wie zum Beispiel Raffinerien, die medienwirksam in Brand geraten. Das dient Analytikern zufolge vor allem dazu, die Versorgung der russischen Bevölkerung zu behindern und so Unruhe unter dieser zu schaffen. Zudem würden die Drohnen mit Kerosin gefüllt, um auf jeden Fall medienwirksame Bilder von großen Rauchsäulen zu schaffen, während der eigentliche Schaden gering ausfalle.Nach seiner Ankunft am Dienstag in Ankara traf US-Präsident Trump Erdoğan und erklärte, er wolle die US-Sanktionen gegen die Türkei prüfen und aufheben. Immer wieder kam es in den letzten Jahren zu Spannungen zwischen der Hauptmacht der NATO und dem Mitgliedsland am Bosporus. Gründe dafür lieferte der türkische Präsident, indem er sich unter anderem dem antirussischen Kurs des Westens nicht voll anschloss und immer wieder auch Israel kritisierte. Zudem wollte er russische S-400-Luftabwehrsysteme kaufen, weshalb ihm die USA die bestellten F-35-Kampfjets verweigerten. ...https://apolut.net/kriegsbundnis-nato-russland-weiter-im-visier-von-tilo-graser/
Deuxième jour du sommet de l'Otan à Ankara. Au programme, photo de famille puis réunion de travail entre les 32 membres de l'Alliance. Donald Trump n'en finit plus d'évoquer la déception que ses alliés lui inspirent à l'exception du président turc, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Ambiance sur fond de menace de désengagement militaire américain du sol européen. Vit-on un sommet quasi existentiel pour l'Otan ?

Začal summit NATO v Ankaře. Českou delegaci vede premiér Andrej Babiš (ANO), účastní se ho ale i prezident Petr Pavel, jak vládě nařídil Ústavní soud. A turecký prezident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan svého českého protějška pozval i na neformální večeři lídrů, na které původně měl být jen předseda vlády. „Je to hodně matoucí a mohli jsme si to ušetřit, kdyby Andrej Babiš místo omezování prezidenta dělal svoji práci,“ kritizuje v Interview Plus senátor Pavel Fischer (nez.).Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.
Turkey could be Israel's next strategic headache, and the answer isn't as simple as you think. In this episode of "Israel Undiplomatic", hosts Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister's Office—clash over whether Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a dangerous pragmatist or one of Israel's greatest long-term threats. You'll learn why Israel is suddenly moving to recognize the Armenian genocide, how that decision could reshape relations with Turkey, what President Trump's comments reveal about Ankara's role in the region and why the panel sees both hope and danger in the latest Lebanon agreement and U.S. strategy toward Iran. If you want to understand the geopolitical chessboard that's emerging after the Iran war, this episode connects the dots.
Locatie, timing en gastheer konden nauwelijks symbolischer zijn. De NAVO-top komt op 7 en 8 juli 2026 bijeen in Ankara, middenin een geopolitieke crisis en vlak na de eerste EU-samenkomst met de buren en partners in de Kaukasus, vlakbij. Dit is de eerste NAVO-top na de Amerikaanse nederlaag tegen Iran en ook de eerste NAVO-top van Rob Jetten. Wat gaat hij opleveren? Eindigt hij in de harmonie waarmee die vorige, in Den Haag, wist te verrassen? Of herhaalt zich de heftige confrontatie uit 2018? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger schetsen hoe Turkije al eeuwen het scharnierpunt is van spanningen en conflicten, gelegen als landbrug tussen Zwarte Zee, de Krim, de Balkan, Mesopotamië, de Kaukasus, Syrië en Iran. Ook daarom beseft president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan als geen ander dat niemand zonder hem kan bij het vinden van oplossingen en het leggen van contacten daarvoor. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Nederland profileert zich nadrukkelijk als hightech coproducent van Oekraïne, als NAVO-lidstaat die de '3,5 procent'-afspraak over defensie-investeringen concreet invult. Als lid van de E6 in de EU is Nederland medebepalend voor de lange termijn investeringen van Europa en als lid van het nieuwe 'Pax Silica'-verbond een mondiaal voorhoedespeler. Waarmee ook de relatie met China hoog op de agenda staat. Voor Europa is deze NAVO-top niet minder cruciaal, nu de Europese pijler binnen de NAVO steeds meer vorm krijgt. De Turken vinden het prima dat Europese lidstaten meer aan defensie doen, maar huiveren bij de gedachte dat daarmee ook de EU meer te zeggen zou krijgen. “Een recept voor ellende”, zei een hoge Turkse diplomaat tegen Jaap. Turkije wilde altijd graag bij de EU, maar daar pruimen ze een land waar het met democratie en rechtsstaat achteruit gaat niet. Secretaris-generaal Mark Rutte probeerde in het Witte Huis te agenderen dat de Europese partners en Canada voluit hun Haagse beloften nakomen - hij noemde het bedrag dat zij nu extra investeren 'Trump’s trillion'. Maar Donald Trump begon steeds weer over ‘niet loyale’ Europese landen in de oorlog tegen Iran. Trump wil kunnen blijven klagen over de bondgenoten en eist naar eigen zeggen niet veel: "Just a little kiss.” Bondgenootschappen begrijpt hij gewoon niet, omdat die uitgaan van gezamenlijk gedragen en verdedigde belangen en van gelijkwaardigheid. De oorlog rond de Straat van Hormuz - zonder enige afstemming met de bondgenoten - liet dat overduidelijk blijken. Zijn nederlaag daar kan deze NAVO-top extra onvoorspelbaar maken. Is het daarom Ruttes insteek om met dat Trump’s trillion verhaal nu vooral tijd te kopen totdat nieuwe geopolitieke verhoudingen – en ook de verhoudingen binnen Amerika zelf – zich duidelijker laten zien? Hoe ver durven bondskanselier Friedrich Merz en zijn minister van Defensie Boris Pistorius nu al te gaan met het concreet maken van die Europese Pijler? Hoe innig wil de vermoedelijk nieuwe premier van het VK Andy Burnham de relatie met de EU inkleuren? Zal na deze NAVO-top ook in Amerika de strijd om de era na Trump losbarsten en wat betekent dit voor 'MAGA'? En, heel belangrijk, trekt ook Trump nu de conclusie dat Volodymyr Zelensky inmiddels wel de juiste kaarten heeft? Na een afgang bij Hormuz en botsingen met Benjamin Netanyahu zal hij toch niet ook nog de partner willen zijn van Vladimir Poetin als de volgende 'loser'? Dumpt hij Poetin om zichzelf toch nog als winnaar te kunnen presenteren? *** Verder luisteren 585 - 'Nostalgie is geen strategie': Canada breekt met Amerika en kiest voor de EU 578 - Oorlog voeren in een verdeelde wereld: misverstanden en mislukkingen 577 - Hoe Jimmy Carter de bescherming van de Golfregio tot Amerika’s prioriteit maakte 575 - Nederland staat niet langer op het menu, maar zit aan tafel 571 - Het kabinet-Jetten in een geopolitieke orkaan 567 - De geschiedenis beukt op Europa's deur.

Queere Menschen haben sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten Rechte und Freiheiten erkämpft, die heute vielen als selbstverständlich gelten. Doch diese Errungenschaften geraten zunehmend unter Druck. Weltweit mobilisieren autoritäre Bewegungen gegen sexuelle Diversität und treiben so den Backlash voran, warnt der ehemalige Kultursenator und queerpolitische Sprecher der Berliner Linksfraktion ***Klaus Lederer***. Die Türkei-Korrespondentin ***Sabine Küper-Büsch*** analysiert die machtpolitischen Manöver des türkischen Präsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, der die Justiz benutzt, um die Opposition zu spalten und damit zunehmend die Bevölkerung gegen sich aufbringt. Die Osteuropa-Expertin ***Yelizaveta Landenberger*** berichtet von ihrer Reise nach Transnistrien, einem international nicht anerkannten pro-russischen Mini-Staat zwischen der Ukraine und der Republik Moldau, der zum Spielball der Geopolitik geworden ist.
L'issue de la présidentielle péruvienne reste incertaine ce lundi 8 juin 2026. Après le dépouillement de 90% des bulletins, la candidate de droite Keiko Fujimori devance très légèrement son rival de gauche Roberto Sánchez, selon les autorités électorales. Nous en parlons avec notre correspondant sur place, Martin Chabal. L'avance de Keiko Fujimori risque de s'effriter à mesure que les résultats arrivent au compte-gouttes des zones rurales, où son rival Roberto Sánchez a dominé. Selon notre correspondant, ses partisans ont déjà célébré ces premiers résultats dans la capitale Lima. Ils le considèrent comme un défenseur des régions rurales et des populations longtemps délaissées par les élites politiques de la capitale. Roberto Sánchez a également bénéficié d'un fort vote anti-fujimoriste, le nom Fujimori restant associé, pour de nombreux électeurs, aux dérives autoritaires du passé. L'électricité, nouvelle arme des gangs en Haïti À Carrefour, au sud de Port-au-Prince, l'électricité est devenue un nouvel enjeu dans la lutte pour le contrôle du territoire. Depuis plus de deux semaines, le chef de gang « Krisla » occupe la centrale électrique qui alimente une partie de la commune ainsi que plusieurs quartiers de la région métropolitaine. Conséquence : les coupures se multiplient et les habitants disposent de moins en moins d'heures de courant. Une situation qui alimente la colère, l'inquiétude et l'incompréhension de la population.

Cette visite s'inscrit dans une stratégie à la fois diplomatique et économique, la Turquie étant l'un des rares partenaires du Venezuela à maintenir une continuité entre les présidences de Hugo Chávez, Nicolás Maduro et Delcy Rodríguez, notamment dans les secteurs de l'énergie, de l'or, de la défense ou encore de l'agriculture. En parallèle, son déplacement en Inde a confirmé la reprise des exportations pétrolières vénézuéliennes, essentielles pour un pays confronté à une grave crise économique et à des tensions sociales. Au-delà de ces enjeux économiques, cette tournée marque aussi une montée en visibilité internationale de la dirigeante, qui cherche à consolider sa légitimité diplomatique, dans un contexte où ses relations avec Washington semblent moins conflictuelles, même si les États-Unis continuent de suivre la situation sans exercer de pression directe sur une ouverture politique au Venezuela, selon le politologue Thomas Posado.

Lange dachten viele in der Türkei: So weit geht Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan nicht. Nun haben sie Gewissheit: Er ging so weit. Ein türkisches Gericht setzte den gewählten Parteichef der größten Oppositionspartei ab – Özgür Özel. Eingesetzt wurde sein Vorgänger, der mehrmals bei Wahlen gegen Erdoğan verloren hatte und von den eigenen Leuten »Verräter« genannt wird. In dieser Ausgabe von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Maximilian Popp, der für den SPIEGEL seit Jahren über die Türkei berichtet. Was hat Erdoğan aus der Türkei gemacht? Ist das Land noch eine Demokratie, wenn die gefährlichsten Gegner des Präsidenten ins Gefängnis gesteckt werden und sich die Regierungspartei ihre Herausforderer selbst aussucht?

Discuții tensionate ieri la Tiraspol: „Formatul 5+2 pentru Transnistria, cu participarea Rusiei, este mort”, spun oficialii moldoveni. Este nevoie de un format nou, cu UE, România și Ucraina, spune președintele Parlamentului, Igor Grosu. Transnistria cere, în tandem cu Moscova, revenirea la vechiul format de negocieri, așa-numitul format 5+2, unde Rusia avea un rol central. Chișinăul, însă, nu îl acceptă, după ce Rusia a atacat Ucraina, iar deceniile de activitate a vechiului format au dus doar la consolidarea regimului separatist transnistrean. Experții de la Chișinău semnalează o vizibilă schimbare în abordări din partea Guvernului, o atitudine mai curajoasă și mai fermă. Liliana Barbăroșie a analizat subiectul cu expertul pe securitate, Rosian Vasiloi. Temele ediției: - Tot mai mulți politicieni importanți din statele membre UE se opun procesului aderării accelerate la spațiul comunitar. După Ungaria și Polonia se declară împotriva unui asemenea proces rapid. Ce înseamnă asta pentru Republica Moldova? Ne explică Vitalie Cojocari în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. - Procuratura Generală a Republicii Moldova a venit cu detalii legate de un caz de rezonanță maximă care a marcat opinia publică din Republica Moldova: dosarul educatoarei din Hâncești, care și-a pus capăt zilelor după ce a fost abuzată mulți ani de soț. Astfel, au fost dispuse, la solicitarea avocaților, expertize noi și exhumarea cadavrului. Procurorii anunță și că în ziua decesului, după ora morții, un polițist rutier ar fi întocmit un proces verbal pe numele Ludmilei Vartic, la cererea soțului. Valeria Vițu, cu detalii, de la Chișinău. - Ofițeri din conducerea de vârf a Grupului Operativ de Trupe Ruse din Transnistria, cetățeni ruși, au fost declarați indezirabili în Republica Moldova. - Legislativul de la Tiraspol, numit Soviet Suprem, a prelungit starea de urgență în economie instituită în Transnistria. - În Republica Moldova au fost comemorate ieri victimele foametei organizate de regimul sovietic în anii 1946-1947. Peste 200 de mii de oameni au murit atunci de foame. - Președinta Maia Sandu participă la astăzi la Antalya Diplomacy Forum, la invitația Președintelui Turciei, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Știrile zilei: Discuții tensionate au avut loc ieri la Tiraspol, capitala regiunii separatiste Transnistria, în condițiile în care Guvernul moldovean și-a schimbat abordarea față de Transnistria și ia măsuri pentru a o integra în câmpul legal al Republicii Moldova. Reprezentantul administrației transnistrene, Vitali Ignatiev, a amenințat cu părăsirea discuțiilor și a cerut Chișinăului revenirea imediată a negocierilor pentru reglementarea transnistreană în formatul 5+2. Un apel identic a fost formulat ieri de la Moscova de ministrul adjunct de externe al Rusiei. Din formatul 5+2, în baza căruia au avut loc negocierile în ultimele decenii, fac parte Rusia, Ucraina și OSCE în calitate de mediatori, UE și SUA au doar un statut de observatori, iar Chișinăul și Tiraspolul au statut egal de părți implicate în conflict. Formatul, considerat ineficient de Chișinău, a fost înghețat după ce Rusia a atacat Ucraina. Președintele Parlamentului, Igor Grosu, a declarat aseară la emisiunea Cabinetul din Umbră de la Jurnal TV că formatul vechi de negocieri nu mai este eficient. Nervozitatea de la Tiraspol trădează situația foarte complicată în care se află regimul separatist, inclusiv economic și energetic, mai ales după ce în Ungaria opoziția a câștigat alegerile. În prezent, alimentarea Transnistriei cu gaze se face prin intermediul companiei MET din Ungaria, care operează în baza plăților făcute de Rusia. Schema ar putea să nu mai funcționeze, spune Igor Grosu. În ceea ce privește procesele legate de statutul politic al Transnistriei, oficialul recunoaște că discuțiile actuale dintre Chișinău și Tiraspol nu pot constitui o bază pentru soluționarea politică. Este nevoie de un format nou în care să se regăsească alți actori, care să ajute inclusiv la demilitarizarea Transnistriei, prin desființarea prezenței militare ruse care există acum acolo: UE, România și Ucraina, spune Igor Grosu. *** Președintele Parlamentului a confirmat și informația publicată pe surse de presa de la Chișinău, potrivit căreia cinci ofițeri din conducerea de vârf al Grupului Operativ de Trupe Ruse din Transnistria, cetățeni ruși, au fost declarați indezirabili în Republica Moldova. „Când vor ieși din Transnistria și vor ajunge pe malul drept, adică în Republica Moldova, vor fi trimiși acasă”, a spus Igor Grosu. Autoritățile de la Chișinău au interzis rotația militarilor ruși în Transnistria încă din 2014 și prin actuala decizie încearcă să elimine din țară ofițerii ruși care încă mai rămân în Transnistria. Datele Chișinăului arată că acolo ar mai exista puțin peste 100 de militari veniți de la Moscova. Restul, din contingentul rusesc de 1500 de soldați sunt localnici care au cetățenie rusă. Recent, președinta Maia Sandu a retras cetățenia moldovenească mai multor localnici care s-au angajat în armata rusească din Transnistria, pentru a descuraja această practică. *** Legislativul de la Tiraspol, numit Soviet Suprem, a prelungit starea de urgență în economie instituită în Transnistria. Motivul este criza economică accentuată, pe fundalul reducerii livrărilor de gaze. Portalul Zona de Securitate notează că în regiune salariile în sectorul bugetar sunt achitate cu întârziere și incomplet, iar bugetul local are un deficit declarat de peste 50 la sută. *** Președinta Maia Sandu participă la Antalya Diplomacy Forum, la invitația Președintelui Turciei, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Evenimentul reunește lideri politici, diplomați și experți internaționali. În marja forumului, șefa statului va avea întrevederi bilaterale cu șefi de stat și de guvern din regiune, anunță un comunicat al Președinției de la Chișinău. *** În Republica Moldova au fost comemorate victimele foametei organizate de regimul sovietic în anii 1946-1947. Peste 200 de mii de oameni au murit atunci de foame în Republica Moldova. Iar Banca Națională a Moldovei pune de astăzi în circulație moneda comemorativă „In memoriam: Foametea din Basarabia 1946-1947”, care completează seria „Evenimente istorice”. „Comemorarea foametei din 1946-1947 este mai mult decât un act de doliu - este o asumare a identității noastre europene. Este o datorie morală și istorică să nu uităm această perioadă întunecată a trecutului nostru. Moneda are astfel rolul de a contribui la asumarea și transmiterea memoriei colective generațiilor viitoare”, potrivit guvernatoarei BNM, Anca Dragu, citată de un comunicat al instituției.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States, Turkey offered a sliver of optimism in a region defined by turmoil — a Muslim-majority democracy, a NATO ally, and even a friend of Israel. But after more than two decades under the rule of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, that Turkey is long gone. So, what happened? And what does it mean for America, NATO, Israel — and the future of the Middle East? FDD Turkey experts Sinan Ciddi and Jonathan Schanzer join host Cliff May to assess Turkey's transformation, including the strategic consequences only now coming into focus.

Za současnou moc diktátorů může náš bývalý úspěch: Blahobyt nás oslepil: způsobil naše nevědění. Mylně jsme věřili, že trvalou prosperitu mohou vytvořit jen demokracie a svobodný trh. Autokraté jako Si Ťin-pching, Vladimir Putin a Recep Tayyip Erdoğan nám ale v poslední době předvádějí opak: zdá se, že tyranie a ekonomika jsou do jisté míry slučitelné.

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