Syria

Το Κόμμα του Θεού διαθέτει μια καλά εξοπλισμένη στρατιωτική πτέρυγα, με σημαντική πολιτική δύναμη και εκατοντάδες εκατομμύρια δολάρια. Τι εκτιμάται ότι προσδοκά από τον πόλεμο Ισραήλ - Χαμάς και πως μπορεί να επηρρεάσει τα τεκταινόμενα στη Μέση Ανατολή.

Statement by the Prime Minister upon his arrival at the ΕΘ Summit.

The airing of grievances came as tensions flared again between Turkey and the EU after a Turkish seismic survey ship on Monday returned to disputed waters from which it had withdrawn last month to allow for diplomacy

His first years in power focused on a recovery of the Turkish economy and he systematically promoted the mass integration (mainly through Islamic networks) in the production process of marginalised segments of society.

Erdogan’s court was rife with scandals. He gave himself a 1mn dollar monthly salary, his assets were said to be worth nearly one billion dollars, and he provoked everyone.

Even if the EU does decide to offer more money, it’s not clear it will be sufficient to assuage Turkey or be the kind of support that Ankara, which is simultaneously involved in conflicts in Syria and Libya, really wants.

'Force will be used against those violating the ceasefire, including radicals, and every measure will be taken,,' Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said.

Developments in Syria and the Middle East more generally have offered space to Russia and regional authoritarian leaders.

The Kurdish position was not clear. Speaking to Ronahi TV, SDF commander Kobani said the agreement is “just the beginning” and will not achieve Turkey’s goals.

We are dealing with an unbelievable leader of a superpower who overnight abandons his allies and with his provocative statements undermines his relations with Europe and triggers a chain reaction with all the regional countries.

'We are saying we should form such a safe zone that we, as Turkey, can build towns here in lieu of the tent cities here. Let’s carry them to the safe zones there,' Erdogan said.

Η Γερμανίδα καγκελάριος Άγγελα Μέρκελ αρνήθηκε να αποκλείσει το ενδεχόμενο συμμετοχής της Γερμανίας σε στρατιωτικά πλήγματα στη Συρία σε περίπτωση που πραγματοποιηθεί άλλη μια επίθεση με χημικά όπλα εναντίον αμάχων.
