Aaron Stein: “This is the breakdown of the most positive aspect of AKP’s foreign and domestic policy”

Aaron Stein So  much happened since the ISIS attack to the Amara Cultural Center in Suruc near the Syrian border, to claim 32 lives. We dis cussed with Aaron Stein, nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council´s Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East, the domestic consequences of this attack, its impact to the peace process, the shift in Turkey’s Incirlik policy, and the future of the Syrian civil conflict. Turkey  had  enjoyed a relative quiet up to now. The terrorist attack in Suruc is considered by most analysts as a spill over of Syrian  civil  conflict into Turkey. Do you agree? Yes, I think it is definitely a spill over from the Syrian civil conflict. But I will just say that it is the most recent spill over of the Syrian civil conflict. Refugees are the most obvious  sign of what has been the cost  of t he Syrian civil war for Turkey  since 2012 .   But in terms of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict, the spill over began in July 2...

Avineri: “It is very important that Turkey and Israel cooperate when everything around us is sort of collapsing”

  It was a privilege for me to discuss Middle East issues, upcoming Israeli elections and Turkish-Israeli relations with Professor Shlomo Avineri during his visit to Istanbul. Mr. Avineri is a professor of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and also served as Director-General of Israel´s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the first administration of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin from 1975 to 1977 How do you see the future of the Middle East with a non-state actor like ISIS which is very different from any other non-state actor we know? What we see today in the Levant; basically in Syria and Iraq, is that the old state system which was established after the World War I, after the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire by the French and the British (we just call it Sykes-Picot but it is not just Sykes-Picot; it is Sykes-Picot and conferences like Sèvres, San Remo and Lausanne) is coming to an end. This system was an attempt to create nation states in the Europe...

Musul düştü

Isis’i sadece Mısır mitolojisine ait bir tanrıça, Rihanna’nın örnek anne ve kadın olduğunu belirterek göğsünün altına dövmesini yaptırmasıyla anmak isterdi gönül. Ancak El Kaide’nin bir uzantısı olarak kurulan ve güçlendikçe bu örgüte meydan okuyan ISIS (The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) Türkçe adıyla IŞİD (Irak ve Şam İslam Devleti), geçtiğimiz hafta Musul ve Tikrit’i ele geçirerek herhangi bir radikal terör örgütü olmadığını ortaya koydu. Önce kamyon şoförlerini, ardından Türk konsolosluğunda görevli diplomatları kaçırmasıyla da Türkiye açıkça karışmak istemediği bu çatışmada ana rollerden birini üstlenmek durumunda kaldı. IŞİD’in özellikle Türk olduğu için mi yoksa Musul’daki tek yabancı misyon olduğu için mi bu eyleme giriştiğini bilmiyoruz. Bunun özel bir anlamı olmaması da muhtemel. Ancak önemli olan, örgütün Bağdat’a doğru ilerlemesini durduracak, ona karşı koyabilecek bir Irak ordusunun olmayışı. Bu durumun ne anlama geldiği ise tek bir cümleyle özetlenebilir...
