In a historic move, jailed PKK leader Ocalan called his group to lay down arms and dissolve itself. We’ve been tracking the dynamics of Ankara’s conflict with PKK since 2015 and have all the verified data on casualties in @crisisgroup.org Visual Explainer: www.crisisgroup.org/content/turk...

Ukraine's European backers' storm of summits draws critiques because no table includes everyone. But a constellation of talks likely smarter than attempting full inclusivity from start. Notable &, I think, critical that UK-hosted meet today includes Türkiye, represented by its foreign minister.

Getting more powers involved is unlikely to lead to peace between Azerbaijan & Armenia or Türkiye & Armenia & could backfire. Instead, it's time to make good on past pledges & sign on to what's already agreed, argue @dibanigar.bsky.social & Philip Gamaghelyan in @warontherocks.bsky.social

Ankara urges Baku to strike a deal with Yerevan before geopolitical shifts close this window of opportunity, but Baku insists on terms to prevent future Armenian territorial claims on Karabakh and, as I note, resents that "no one rushed between 1993 and 2020" turkeyindepth.com/yet-another-...

In this article, I point out that Trump’s victory has prompted European policymakers to explore more cooperation with Turkey. Neither Turkey nor EU can ignore the Cyprus issue, which is "not merely a bicommunal dispute but a geopolitical one, besides being at the core of Turkey-EU challenges.”
