Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid catch their breath after one of the wildest weeks in years. Iran's civilian government just ended the war, the Strait of Hormuz reopened, sanctions are coming off, and Trump's approval rating in Israel went from positive twenty three to negative twenty three in seven days. Save Israel for last is happening in real time. Mark Levin is having a public meltdown, the APEC lobby is in panic mode, and the MOU to Israel was never released. The bombshell of the episode comes when the guys catch what Trump quietly admitted at the G7. He installed Jolani in Syria with Erdogan before he was even back in office. That confirms the takedown of Assad and the dismantling of the Iran to Hezbollah land bridge were Trump's moves, not Bibi's, and it completely shreds the controlled by Israel narrative. From there they unpack the Jay Clayton ODNI nomination and his SDNY history with Maduro, the Cartel de los Soles generals, Epstein, the Weiner laptop, and the Clinton Foundation. Plus the Tulsi report driving a national emergency on election integrity, the Hochul Medicaid fraud indictment, Newsom's California DOJ investigating his own wife, and the eight man B-52 crash at Edwards that has the Mossad telegram channels celebrating.

Nikol Pashinyan's sweeping re-election in Armenia has raised fresh hopes that the border with Turkey could finally reopen after three decades of closure. The Armenian prime minister campaigned on restoring ties with Turkey and Azerbaijan, as well as moving Armenia closer to Europe – but constitutional reform remains a major obstacle. The vote on 7 June gave Nikol Pashinyan a clear victory over the opposition. But his success could prove bittersweet after he fell short of the parliamentary majority needed to change the constitution. Changing the constitution is part of Pashinyan's peace efforts with Azerbaijan, brokered last year by United States President Donald Trump. “This government is committed to passing what the Armenian opposition would refer to as 'the Aliyev referendum',” said Eric Hacopian, a Yerevan-based political consultant. “The problem is, now they have no votes to bring it up because you need to get a two-thirds vote to change the constitution.” Armenia PM Pashinyan wins vote, cementing pro-Western shift Constitutional hurdles On the back of the Washington peace talks, “Armenia and Azerbaijan had an understanding that, after the election in Armenia, there would be certain constitutional amendments”, explained Hikmet Hajiyev, chief foreign policy adviser to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Baku insists Armenia must remove claims to Nagorno-Karabakh from the preamble to its constitution. The two countries have clashed repeatedly over the contested territory. In 2023, Azerbaijan retook the breakaway enclave, causing more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians to flee. “We are looking forward to Armenia completely eliminating elements of its territorial claims,” Hajiyev said. “Then we will not have any stumbling blocks or hurdles on our agenda to move forward.” Constitutional reform is also seen as important for normalising Armenia's ties with Turkey, according to Hajiyev. “It's not directly linked, but indirectly,” he said. “Once the Azerbaijan-Armenia agenda is solved, then Turkey will also act in a synchronised manner, opening the borders and also establishing a closer relationship.” Armenia election: what the vote could mean for Russia, the West and Azerbaijan Border hopes Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993, siding with Azerbaijan after ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh declared independence and seized Azerbaijani lands. Efforts to restore ties are now gathering pace, said Zeynep Alemdar, an international relations professor at Dogus University in Istanbul. “They've already declared in May 2026 that the border is going to be opened up, and all the bureaucratic, paperwork-type obstacles are actually being dismantled,” Alemdar said, noting that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is believed to get on well with Pashinyan. Pashinyan's Turkey visit signals new chapter as Ankara eyes Caucasus shift But energy-rich Azerbaijan remains crucial to Ankara, Alemdar said. “Economically, comparing Azerbaijan versus Armenia for Ankara, of course Azerbaijan always wins... Of course Azerbaijan is going to be more influential,” Alemdar said. Erdogan congratulated Pashinyan on his re-election, while the Turkish foreign ministry urged Yerevan in a statement to embrace “bold reforms” – seen by many as a call for constitutional change. Cautious steps Pashinyan's lack of decisive parliamentary support and uncertainty over a possible referendum mean Ankara's role could be important in securing lasting peace, said Richard Giragosian, director of the Regional Studies Center think tank in Yerevan. “For Turkey this is a slow, gradual process of retaking the initiative with Armenia, away from Azerbaijan,” Giragosian said. “Because in many ways, at every round it's been the Azerbaijan factor that's the key determinant. And according to sources in Ankara, they only have a yellow light of caution from Azerbaijan – it's not a red light, but it's not yet a green light to proceed.” Reopening the Turkish-Armenian border would be welcomed by the European Union and Washington, as Ankara seeks to deepen its ties with both. But with Azerbaijan acting as a major investor and economic lifeline, Turkey is moving cautiously to avoid upsetting its powerful neighbour.

Episode 113 opens with Ghost's "cyclone" theory in full motion: Trump occupies both sides of the Iran narrative at once, threatening to bomb Tehran while announcing a deal is two or three days away. Ghost breaks down the Apache helicopter incident, Trump telling the Wall Street Journal it "wasn't a big deal," and the Oval Office gaggle where Trump casually reveals he has been working directly with Iran for months. Trump questions whether Netanyahu should even run for reelection while Netanyahu's own cabinet discusses fighting Iran alone in total isolation. The Strait of Hormuz bombshell follows: Trump claims the US secretly moved oil through it for months without Iran knowing, and a congressional hearing exposes the contradictions. Then comes the deal itself: 49 Tomahawks, a leaked 14-point memorandum, and Trump's furious denial of the leaked terms. Mark Levin spirals from celebrating bombing to demanding the text of the deal, while Israel confirms it is not party to the agreement. Erdogan and Netanyahu trade threats, and Ghost maps a possible Greece-Israel-Ukraine alliance against Turkey. The episode closes with Tulsi Gabbard's declassification of 120 US-funded bio labs across 30 countries.

Linee Mondiali - Episodio 4 Gruppo D: Stati Uniti, Paraguay, Australia e Turchia Gli Stati Uniti sono uno dei tre paesi ospitanti, e anche uno dei pochi posti al mondo in cui il calcio femminile è più di successo di quello maschile. Al Mondiale il USMNT non ha mai ottenuto gran che, ma in questa edizione, perché sono in casa e perché la squadra ha buoni giocatori, possono ottenere buoni risultati. Da quando Trump è tornato Presidente gli USA sono al centro di ogni polemiche economica e geopolitica, dichiarando guerra a un paese, l'Iran, che ora arriva da loro per il Mondiale. Il Paraguay è un paese poco conosciuto di cui non si sa molto, ma che invece ha tante storie interessanti al suo interno. Ad esempio, secondo l'ONU sarà la nazione che guiderà la crescita economica del continente sudamericano nel corso del 2026. Sono un paese stabile politicamente ed economicamente, con tanti settori che funzionano bene. Sportivamente invece sono mediocri, ma saranno complessi da battere. L'Australia è uno dei grandi giganti del pianeta: ha un territorio enorme dove abitano appena 28 milioni di persone, 2,79 per kilometro quadrato. A livello economico hanno conosciuto un periodo di crescita durato 30 anni, trainato dai servizi, ma anche dalle estrazioni di materie prime e dall'agricoltura. A livello sportivo il calcio in Australia viene dopo il Rugby e il Football Australiano, ma al Mondiale sono ormai una presenza fissa. La Turchia è una delle Nazionali più interessanti a livello di talento di questo Mondiale, con Vincenzo Montella allenatore e in campo talenti del calibro di Arda Guler, Kenan Yldiz e Hakan Calhanoglu. La Turchia è appena al suo terzo mondiale, il primo dal 2002, quando arrivarono fino alla semifinale. A livello politico il paese è nelle mani di Erdogan dal 2003, che controlla lo stato con metodi sempre più autoritari e non democratici, limitando libertà di espressione e di stampa e facendo di tutto per zittire gli oppositori. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Segui Linee anche su Instagram e TikTok!

Moves by President Erdogan to arrest and imprison two of his key political rivals have prompted warnings that Türkiye is sliding into authoritarianism.  There are fears he may change the constitution next to stay in power.

Z Zuzanną Krzyżanowską z Ośrodka Studiów Wschodnich rozmawiamy o decyzji tureckiego sądu, by zmienić przewodniczącego głównej opozycyjnej partii CHP! Czym motywowany jest ten wyrok? Czy prezydent Erdogan chce uczynić z CHP koncesjonowaną opozycję? Jak reagują jej zwolennicy? Pyta Marcin Łuniewski.

En Turquie, l'offensive du pouvoir contre l'opposition semble être passée sous les radars médiatiques. Pourtant, un an après l'arrestation du maire d'Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu, jamais Recep Tayyip Erdogan n'était allé si loin, semble-t-il, pour assoir sa mainmise sur le pays en écartant le chef désigné du CHP, Özgür Özel. Existe-t-il encore une possibilité d'exister pour l'opposition démocratique turque ?

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.

Turkey's main opposition CHP was thrown into fresh disarray Saturday as court-installed leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu made his first visit to party headquarters since a controversial court ruling scrapped a 2023 party primary. Ozgur Ozel, the CHP leader ousted by the decision, called for an urgent congress, telling thousands at an Ankara rally that the party "cannot be run by an appointed leader". The 21 May court ruling has plunged the CHP, Turkey's oldest political party, into a crisis. Three days after the order, riot police forced their way into the party's headquarters in Ankara, armed with pepper spray and batons, to remove CHP leader Ozgur Ozel – a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The court said Ozel's 2023 election as party leader was marred by irregularities, and restored the former leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. In Turkey, elections are overseen by the Supreme Election Council, which certified Ozel's win, and its rulings are constitutionally final. It is just the latest move against the CHP, which scored a major victory over Erdogan's ruling AKP in the 2024 local elections and has since gained ground in the polls. Party primary Kilicdaroglu visited that party headquarters on Saturday to mark the final day of Eid, with a photo shared by his team on social media showing him seated at his desk with a copy of the party's bylaws placed prominently in front of him. "I will bring a ballot box for party congress before you as soon as possible," Kilicdaroglu said in an address, without providing a precise date. Ozel renewed his challenge to Kilicdaroglu to contest a party primary, saying he was willing to run "with whatever delegates he wants". With crowds chanting "Traitor Kemal!", Ozel said the party congress must be held "immediately", urging Kilicdaroglu to "hold a congress at once, with whichever delegates you wish. Give the party an elected leader without delay. The CHP does not accept appointments." He also demanded a primary election, saying that he would give up the party leadership if he received less than 85 percent support. Turkey expert Gonul Tol, a senior fellow at United States think tank, the Middle East Institute told RFI that Kilicdaroglu is "a convenient opponent for [President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, because he "lost every major election during his 13 years at the helm of the party." Turkey riot police use tear gas to take opposition party HQ 'A broader campaign' Ozel, 51, was elected leader at a party convention after 77-year-old Kilicdaroglu lost the 2023 presidential election. Ozel has revitalized the CHP, which now leads many opinion polls. Tol suggests Ozel's removal is part of a wider campaign. "This is the latest step in Erdogan's broader campaign to weaken the opposition," said Tol. “Last March, in another unprecedented move, authorities jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoglu – he is Erdogan's top political rival. And since then, the government has systematically targeted CHP mayors through court cases and corruption investigations,” she added. Crackdown on Turkish opposition intensifies, with further arrests of mayors Addressing protesters, Ozel vowed to flood the streets and squares in defiance of what he calls a judicial coup, while also appealing his removal. Kilicdaroglu, meanwhile, is promising to restore order to the party and cleanse it of “corrupting forces”. The government insists the judiciary is independent and denies any political agenda. Erdogan has remained silent on the issue. Still, some observers see the opposition's upheaval as part of Erdogan's grander vision for Turkey's future. Political commentator Sezin Oney from independent Turkish media outlet Politikyol notes that Erdogan is eager to shape the post-Erdogan era. "He wants to design the succession, most probably to have a close family member replacing him. So he wants to shape the whole [political] terrain accordingly." 'Opposition psyche' Erdogan has ruled Turkish politics for almost 25 years, buoyed by both his political acumen and a fragmented opposition. But in the past year, Ozel's energetic leadership has powered over 100 mass rallies nationwide, even in Erdogan's strongholds, as Ozel taps into rising public frustration over crackdowns on dissent and skyrocketing food prices. The removal of Ozel as CHP leader is seen as a pivotal moment for Turkish democracy. “Turkey is moving closer to a Russia-style system where the leader decides who the opposition will be and ensures no real surprise can emerge at the ballot box,” predicts Tol. “Why is Erdogan taking such a massive political and economic risk? Erdogan knows he cannot win genuinely free and fair elections anymore." With Erdogan enjoying close ties with US President Donald Trump and the European Union increasingly looking to Turkey as a security partner, under the looming Russian threat, international reaction has been muted over the latest move against the opposition. Turkey steps up as Europe's indispensable and uncomfortable defence partner Speaking to tens of thousands of people at a rally in Izmir on Tuesday, Ozel vowed to escalate protests. Rumours are swirling that he could launch a new party. One opinion poll found only 11 percent of respondents approved of the removal of Ozel. Yet the legal noose appears to be tightening, with reports suggesting his parliamentary immunity could be stripped and that he may soon join other top party members behind bars. “We don't have the opposition in political representation form, but the people are there. The opposition psyche of the people is still there. So you cannot absolutely nullify the people or their political views,” said Oney. “We don't know what's going to come out of it. We can make predictions, but it's something totally novel and new in Turkey, and Turkish history as well."

Autrefois alliée stratégique d’Israël, la Turquie d’Erdogan affiche désormais son soutien au Hamas et multiplie les ambitions régionales. Ankara cherche-t-elle à redessiner le Moyen-Orient ?

Parlamenta vēlēšanu rezultāti Kiprā. Turcijas prezidenta Erdogana un viņa valdības rīcība pret opozicionārajiem spēkiem. Krievijas postošais raķešu trieciens pa Kijivu un Ukrainas atbildes triecieni.  Aktualitātes analizē Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks un LATO valdes loceklis Sandis Šrāders un Latvijas Radio ārzemju ziņu korespondents Uldis Ķezberis. Tramps apnikums un Putina „lazdas milna” Nakts no sestdienas uz svētdienu jau atkal bija bez miega Kijivas iedzīvotājiem. Krievija kārtējo reizi raidīja pret Ukrainas galvaspilsētu lidrobotu spietus un apmēram deviņdesmit dažāda tipa raķetes. Tai skaitā  trešo reizi Krievijas agresijas kara gaitā tika izmantota virsskaņas vidējā darbības rādiusa raķete „Orešņik”. Konkrētais rezultāts jau atkal bijis neliels, jo raķete nav bijusi aprīkota ar eksplozīvām kaujas galviņām. Eksperti lēš, ka Kremlis, šādi izšķiežot apmēram piecdesmit miljonus dolāru, cer uz psiholoģisko, respektīvi, iebiedēšanas efektu, vai arī vienkārši turpina jaunā ieroča izmēģinājumus. Iespējams, ka „Orešņik”, kas oriģināli konstruēta aprīkošanai ar kodolgalviņām, vēl nav pielāgota konvencionālajām. Kopējā pēdējo triecienu asiņainā bilance ir četri nogalināti un nepilns simts ievainotu civiliedzīvotāju; postījumi nodarīti valdības ēkām, kultūras un izglītības institūcijām, sagrauts tirdzniecības centrs un tirgus. Pirmdien, 25. maijā, Krievijas ārlietu resors nāca klajā ar līdz šim nepieredzēti agresīvu paziņojumu Kijivā akreditētajiem ārvalstu diplomātiskajiem pārstāvjiem, aicinot viņus pamest galvaspilsētu, kura turpmāk tikšot pakļauta vēl mērķtiecīgākiem gaisa uzbrukumiem. No Ukrainas un tās sabiedroto puses šie izteikumi novērtēti kā klaja iebiedēšana, un Eiropas Savienības vēstniece Ukrainā Katarina Maternova savienības un dalībvalstu vārdā paziņojusi, ka sabiedroto pārstāvji nekur mukt negrasās. Tikām diplomātisko procesu kara izbeigšanai, cik var noprast, pamet Donalda Trampa administrācija. Pagājušajā piektdienā, 22. maijā, NATO valstu ārlietu ministru sanāksmē Helsingborgā, Zviedrijā, valsts sekretārs Marko Rubio paziņoja, ka viņa valsts vairs neredzot jēgu iesaistīties nebeidzamās sarunās, kuras līdz šim nav devušas nekādu rezultātu. Pie tam viņš noraidīja pieņēmumus, ka Baltais nams mēģinājis piespiest Kijivu piekāpties Maskavas prasībām par vēl neieņemto teritoriju atdošanu. Amerikāņiem šādi aizejot, parādījies jautājums par Eiropas iespējām ieņemt viņu vietu. Uz to Eiropas Savienību aicinājis Ukrainas ārlietu ministrs Andrijs Sibiha, bet savienībai šai ziņā vēl nav vienota viedokļa. Dažas valstis, kā, piemēram, Zviedrija un Lietuva, pauž skepsi, uzskatot, ka pagaidām Eiropai jākāpina spiediens pret agresorvalsti. Citādās domās esot Itālija, proti, savienība nedrīkstot ilgāk palikt malā no iespējamā miera procesa. Parādījušās runas par iespējamajiem sarunvežiem no Briseles puses – tā varētu būt bijusī Vācijas kanclere Angela Merkele vai bijušais Itālijas premjerministrs Mario Dragi. Tiek minēts arī Somijas prezidents Aleksanders Stubs, kurš izteicies, ka noliegt šādu iespēju nevar, bet tikai pēc tam, kad Krievija būtu piekritusi pamieram. Kā jau minēts, Kremlis šobrīd pauž gatavību gluži pretējam – graut un postīt. Demokrātija uz kebaba iesma Pēdējās nedēļas notikumi atkal liek runāt par demokrātijas kvalitāti Turcijā un pašreizējā prezidenta Redžepa Tajipa Erdogana autoritārismu. 22. maijā tika publiskota informācija par licences anulēšanu Stambulas Bilgi universitātei. Tā ir 1996. gadā dibināta privāta augstskola, kurā mācās apmēram divdesmit tūkstoši studentu, un kas pazīstama ar savu orientāciju uz liberālām vērtībām. Starp Bilgi absolventiem ir sevišķi daudz šobrīd populāru turku teātra un estrādes mākslinieku. 2019. gadā par augstskolas fonda galveno atbalstītāju kļuva holdingkompānija „Can Holding”, pret kuru 2025. gadā tika izvirzītas apsūdzības iespējamā naudas atmazgāšanā un krāpšanā ar nodokļu nomaksu. Universitātes pārvaldīšanu pārņēma valsts, un nu, studentiem gatavojoties eksāmenu sesijai, prezidents Erdogans izdeva rīkojumu par licences anulēšanu. Likums ļauj valdībai slēgt privātas mācību iestādes, ja izglītības līmenis tajās vērtējams kā neatbilstošs, bet ir ļoti apšaubāmi, ka to varētu attiecināt uz universitāti, kura pēc reitingiem ir Turcijas privāto augstskolu pirmajā pieciniekā. Pēc lēmuma izsludināšanas simtiem studentu un mācībspēku uzsāka plašas protesta akcijas, un 25. maijā tika oficiāli izziņots jauns lēmums, ar kuru licences anulēšana atsaukta. Kā norādījusi Turcijas Augstākās izglītības padome, prezidents šādi rīkojies aiz iejūtības pret jauniešu un viņu ģimeņu bažām. Tikmēr vēl viens varas akts ar apšaubāmu juridisko segumu notika svētdien, 24. maijā, kad policijas specvienība Stambulā triecienā ieņēma Republikāņu tautas partijas biroju, padzenot no turienes partijas izpildpadomi ar partijas vadītāju Ezgiru Ezelu priekšgalā. Ezels tika ievēlēts par partijas līderi 2023. gadā, taču prokuratūra ierosināja lietu par iespējamu krāpšanu vēlēšanu procesā, un 21. maijā tiesa lēma, ka esošais vadītājs atceļams un viņa vietā ieceļams agrākais partijas līderis Kemals Kiličdaroglu. Ezels atteicās pakļauties lēmumam, viņu atbalstīja lielākā daļa partijas biedru, bet policija īstenoja spriedumu ar spēku – asaru gāzi, gumijas lodēm, ūdensmetējiem un stekiem, pie tam šķaidot stiklus un laužot mēbeles. Tiek paustas aizdomas, ka šādi, ar dīvainu un līdz šim Turcijā nepieredzētu tiesas iejaukšanos partijas iekšējos procesos, prezidents Erdogans mēģina vājināt galveno opozīcijas spēku. 2019. gadā Republikāņu tautas partijas kandidāts Ekrems Imamoglu sakāva prezidenta Erdogana Taisnības un attīstības partijas kandidātu Stambulas mēra vēlēšanās. Imamoglu tiek uzskatīts par Erdoganam bīstamāko konkurentu nākamajās prezidenta vēlēšanās, taču kopš pagājušā gada marta viņš ir ieslodzīts cietumā. Prokurori sastādījuši sarakstu ar simt četrdesmit divām epizodēm, starp kurām ir gan koruptīvas darbības, gan noziedzīgas organizācijas izveide. Summārais cietumsods par to visu varētu pārsniegt divtūkstoš gadus. Vēlētāji sarežģī dzīvi Kipras prezidentam Svētdien, 24. maijā, notikušās Kipras parlamenta vēlēšanas ienesušas jaunas krāsas valsts politikas musturī, tomēr, tā kā Kipra ir prezidentāla republika, no tā neizriet tūlītējas valsts politiskā kursa izmaiņas. Kipras Republikas parlamentā – Pārstāvju Palātā – ir 56 locekļi. Saskaņā ar konstitūciju būtu jābūt 80, taču divdesmit četras vietas, kas rezervētas turku kopienas deputātiem, ir vakantas kopš 1963. gada, kad valstī uzliesmojušā starpetniskā konflikta dēļ turki parlamentu pameta. Kā zināms, desmitgadi vēlāk šis konflikts noveda pie Turcijas militāras intervences un Kipras ziemeļdaļas okupācijas. Pašreizējais prezidents Niks Kristodulids ir liberālkonservatīvi orientēts politiķis, kurš īsteno stabili proeiropeisku un sabalansētu kursu, cenšoties līdzsvarot finansiālu disciplīnu ar sociālā atbalsta pasākumiem. Arī līdz šim valdību tieši atbalstīja parlamenta mazākums – kreisi centriska koalīcija ar mazāk nekā trešdaļu mandātu, kurā ietilpa Demokrātiskā partija, Demokrātiskā fronte un Kustība par sociāldemokrātiju. Opozīcijā pa labi no centra ar lielāko frakciju bija Demokrātiskā apvienība, kristīgi demokrātiskas ievirzes partija, kā arī ultralabējā nacionālistiskā Nacionālā Tautas fronte. Savukārt kreisā flanga opozīcijas smagsvars bija Darbaļaužu progresīvā partija jeb komunisti, kā arī nelielā Ekoloģistu kustība. Svētdien vēlētāji izbalsoja no parlamenta Demokrātisko fronti un Kustību par sociāldemokrātiju, arī opozīcijā bijušos ekoloģistus. Viņu vietā likumdevējā nākuši divi jauni spēki – partija „ALMA – Pilsoņi Kiprai”, reformistisks spēks, kuru vada bijušais valsts ģenerālauditors Odisejs Mihaelids, un partija „Kipras tiešā demokrātija”, kas, kā jau liecina nosaukums, mēģina īstenot pilsoņu pastāvīgas gribas izpauduma principu. Savu frakciju dubultojuši radikāļi no Nacionālās Tautas frontes, kļūstot par trešo lielāko parlamenta frakciju. Nacionālā tautas fronte un arī „Tiešā demokrātija” tiek raksturotas kā Kremlim simpatizējošas partijas. Esošās pozīcijas noturējuši divi lielākie tradicionālie spēki – kristīgie demokrāti un komunisti. Taču prezidentam Kristodulidam tagad atlikusi vien niecīga astoņu deputātu frakcija no 56, un komentētāji radušos situāciju raksturo kā potenciālu likumdošanas paralīzi. Visticamāk, prezidents centīsies piesaistīt savai valdībai Annitas Dimitriu vadīto Demokrātisko apvienību, varbūt arī reformistus no ALMA. Otra versija ir palikt pie esošā un paļauties uz ikreizējām aliansēm katra konkrētā pieņemamā likumdošanas akta sakarā. Vēl pastāv iespēja veidot bezpartejisku tehnokrātu valdību vai ļoti mazticamā versija par plašu koalīciju, neskatoties uz ideoloģiskām robežšķirtnēm. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

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.

Der türkische Oppositionsführer, Özgür Özel, soll sein Amt als Parteichef der CHP räumen. Das hat ein türkisches Gericht angeordnet. Eine juristische Grundlage gebe es dafür kaum, sagt der Journalist Thomas Seibert in Istanbul. Weitere Themen: · Luftalarm in Litauen. Zwischenfälle mit ukrainischen Drohnen in Estland. Und ein Regierungssturz in Lettland, ebenfalls nach einem Drohnenvorfall. Die baltischen Staaten haben eine turbulente Woche hinter sich – und das, obwohl Luftraumverletzungen, Drohnenverkehr und Sabotageakte dort eigentlich nicht ungewohnt sind. Auslandredaktor Peter Voegeli erklärt, was sich verändert hat. · Beim Angriff auf den Iran Ende Februar sollen die USA und Israel einen sehr konkreten Machtwechsel im Sinn gehabt haben. Zumindest gemäss einer Recherche der New York Times. Der Plan: Mahmoud Ahmadinedschad, den früheren iranischen Präsidenten, an die Staatsspitze zu hieven. Ahmadinedschad galt lange als Hardliner. Welche Stellung hat er heute im Iran? Darüber sprechen wir mit Karin Senz, der ehemaligen Iran-Korrespondentin der ARD. · Stephen Colbert zieht den Hut: Der Fernsehsender CBS hat diese Woche die letzte Folge seiner Late Night Show ausgestrahlt. Was bedeutet die Absetzung seiner Show für die USA – für ihre Fernsehlandschaft, die Late-Night-Sendungen und allgemein für die Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit?

En Turquie, un homme a tué six personnes lundi 18 mai au fusil à pompe dans le sud du pays avant de se suicider mardi, acculé par la police. Il avait fait l'objet de plusieurs hospitalisations psychiatriques. Selon une fondation turque, plus de 30 millions d'armes circulent dans le pays où le culte de l'arme à feu reste bien ancré. Mi-avril, deux fusillades dans des établissements scolaires avaient fait 10 morts et des dizaines de blessés. L'un des assaillants avait 14 ans, il fréquentait un club de tir avec son père. À la suite de ces drames qui ont semé la peur dans les écoles, le président Erdogan a déclaré qu'il voulait restreindre l'accès aux armes, mais le chemin reste long… Le reportage de Céline-Pierre Magnani à Ankara en Turquie est à retrouver dans son intégralité dans notre podcast Accents d'Europe.

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. 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. Henri Barkey is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and Emeritus Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University.  Vassilis Nedos is Kathimerini's diplomatic and defense editor.

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.

C'est Veli Sacilik, 49 ans, qui le gère avec sa compagne. Amputé de son bras droit lors d'un séjour en prison, c'est le seul métier qu'il peut faire aujourd'hui, assure-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.

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.

7. HEADLINE: Turkey's Diplomatic Strategy as a Mediator in the Iran War GUEST: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: President Erdogan seeks to mediate a ceasefire in the Gulf to protect Turkey's weak economy from rising oil prices. However, he also benefits from a weakened Iranian regime countering Israel. (7)1935 RUINS OF AZ ZOBALA, MAKING COFFEE

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.

And Americans seem to be taking their anger out on food-delivery robots.Guests and host:Robert Guest, deputy editorPiotr Zalewski, Turkey correspondentRebecca Jackson, Southern correspondentJason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”Topics covered: Donald Trump, war in IranTurkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ekrem ImamogluAmerica, delivery robotsGet a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

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.

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.
