I think Turkey can contribute to European defense, but such a partnership will cost to Europe as well as to Turkey. The question is whether they are aware of what they are signing for. My new article: www.institude.org/opinion/can-...

Populists and diplomats: Negotiated agency of the Turkish ministry of foreign affairs

The two-decade-long Turkish experience shows that the populism-diplomacy relationship, contrary to the common wisdom, does not have to be hostile. The existing literature characterize often this re...

The Poverty of Turkish Opposition and Its Obsession with Elections

Opposing authoritarian leaders is a formidable challenge, as they wield state resources to suppress dissent. Over two decades, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has methodically dismantled democratic institutions and consolidated authoritarian power. His power is unrivaled, yet not unchallenged.

1️⃣ Türkiye-Katar ekseni. 2️⃣ Mısır, Suudi Arabistan, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri ve Bahreyn ekseni. 3️⃣ ABD-İsrail ekseni. 4️⃣ Şimdilik denklemin dışında kalmış gibi görünen Rusya ve İran. Birinci Dünya Savaşı öncesinde kurulan Sykes-Picot düzeni ciddi şekilde revize ediliyor.

Trump'ın açıklamalarından benim anladıklarım şunlar: Birincisi genel olarak suriyeye dair çok bir ilgisi planı politikası yok. İkincisi, Suriyedeki en önemli meselesi oradaki amerikan askerleri. Konuşmasından Trumpın hala askerleri çekme taraftarı olduğunu, +

Turkish foreign policy is at its peak this month: -Assad's gone and Turkey-backed groups are politically strong, -Blinken, who previously ignored Turkey at the Israel-Gaza war, is now in Ankara to discuss Syria, -Ethiopia and Somalia have reached a landmark agreement through Turkish mediation.

This remains a super prescient book on AKP-led Turkey’s continued efforts to position itself as mediator. Despite lots of failures (Iran, Syria, Palestine), Erdoğan continues, pushing Turkey’s geopolitics and multifaceted identity. Why? Because a mediator role means you get to leverage both sides.

Turkey’s intelligence chief, İbrahim Kalın, visited the Umayyad Mosque to pray. This symbolically means a lot for the AKP to show their "diplomatic victory" in Syria. While challenges remain in Syria, it will be used a lot by Erdoğan to divert attention from the country’s economic problems.

Let's set the record straight: Turkey may have outlasted Assad and positioned itself on the winning side for now, but this war was neither heroic nor a stroke of genius. It has devastated millions of lives, torn apart families, and inflicted unimaginable suffering.

Erdoğan yine sağa sinyal verip sola döndü. Suriye'de ABD'nin desteklediği YPG'ye karşı askerî harekattan bahsederken birdenbire Türkiye kontrolündeki güçler Rusya ve İran'ın desteklediği Esad'a karşı saldırıya geçti. Bunu nasıl anlamak gerekir? www.youtube.com/live/aDGNqwE...

Putin Ukrayna'da orta menzilli balistik füze kullanmadan önce ABD'ye haber vermiş. Bunu niye yapmış? Çünkü Batı'nın nükleer silah kullandığını zannedip hemen karşılık vermesi gibi vahim bir yanlış anlamayı önlemek istemiş. +++

Despite the #Trump administration's cabinet being seen as unfriendly toward Turkey, #Erdogan still remains optimistic about Trump and his policies. He expects Trump to prioritize ending ongoing wars and refrains from dwelling on the individuals in the cabinet. www.iletisim.gov.tr/turkce/haber...

First post at blsky: Under Biden, Turkish-American relations were actually better than most expectations even if not so good at the presidential level. Biden ghosted Erdogan, but there was intense diplomacy at the institutional and advisors level.
