A very crisp read by @nebahattanriverdi.bsky.social:
"Turkey’s new approach to Iraq is not only driven by its intensified rivalry with Iran. It is also a response to Ankara’s perceived marginalisation by the US-led India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor."

Turkey’s Iraq strategy marks a geoeconomic shift, departing from former security frontier lens. My new @swp-berlin.org Comment argues this calculated gamble carries implications not only for Turkey, Iraq & the Middle East, but also for Europe’s regional engagement

Türkiye, Doğu Libya’daki aktörlerle ilişkilerini yeniden tanımlıyor, bu güvenlik işbirliğini de kapsayan çok katmanlı bir açılım şeklinde gelişmekte.
Bu gelişmeler aynı zamanda bölgesel ve küresel jeopolitik dengelerde de değişimlere işaret ediyor.

But with far-reaching global consequences:
Further divisions within NATO
A shift toward unilateral defense strategies
Offensive posturing replacing deterrence
revisionism for territorial expansion
Trump’s logic defies the very fundamental principle of modern international law, enshrined in the UN Charter, the prohibition of land acquisition by aggression.
Is the U.S. now endorsing the collapse of the UN system and a return to the ‘right of conquest’ and a world where might makes right?
Turkey’s mediation secured a late 2024 agreement between Somalia and Ethiopia, bolstering Ankara’s diplomatic credentials, while Turkey’s diplomatic overture in Sudan and Pres. Erdoğan’s scheduled visits to Somalia and Ethiopia in early 2025, signals a renewed strategic push in East Africa 👇

For Turkey's changing security landscape, read our piece (with @nebahattanriverdi.bsky.social):

2) It is quite noteworthy that the first official visit is by the head of the National Intelligence Organisation (MIT). A testament to the extensive role that MIT plays in Syria.

1) Beyond the official statements that local actors led the rebel offensive that led to the fall of Assad, Turkey wants to signal to observers outside and the domestic audience that Ankara holds the cards.
Why does Turkey’s evolving security landscape matter for its foreign policy? The transformation of Turkey’s security landscape has not only strengthened MIT but also redefined Turkey’s foreign policy tools. Read our analysis (with @sinemadar.bsky.social ) www.swp-berlin.org/10.18449/202...

Libya’da siyasi tansiyon yeniden yükseliyor. Rakip siyasi aktörlerin petrol ve petrol gelirlerini kontrol etme mücadelesi, 2020’den bu yana hassas dengeler üzerine kurulu ateşkesin sona erme riskini artırıyor.
