BreakingNews @en di

Amid claims that Turkey shifting its axis from the West and NATO towards Russia, Defense Minister Fikri Işık has said Turkey’s efforts to enhance relations with its Black Sea neighbor did not represent an alternative path to the country’s existing partnership with NATO. Speaking on the third day of the Ambassadors Conference in Ankara, the Defense Minister further criticized NATO’s stance against Turkey. He said “Turkey’s developing relations with Russia does not mean a weakening of relations with NATO”. “Turkey is one of the most important members of NATO, and has its second largest army. Turkey is devoted to all the conditions that are required by the alliance,” Işık added. He also criticized NATO for not hearing Turkey’s calls and urged it to fulfill the pledges made to the country. He drew attention to the lack of cooperation between the coalition states in the fight against Daesh, while noting that NATO was yet to fulfill pledges made over the southeast of Turkey in regards to counterterrorism operations. “In an effort to curb Turkey’s ability to affect regional developments, the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) has emerged against us.”
Finally, he also focused on the ongoing U.S. support for the PKK’s Syrian offshoot, the Democratic Union Party (PYD): “We will continue to say that the PYD is a terror organization and that it is not legitimate to cooperate with them in the region. We hope Trump and his administration to take over on Jan. 20 will hear Turkey’s calls and refrain from making the same mistake.”

BreakingNews @en di

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are likely to meet next month within the scope of a Turkey-Russia High Level Cooperation Council (HLCC) meeting, claimed a diplomatic source. Ahead of the next month’s HLCC meeting, three fundamental issues were on Turkey’s agenda with the Joint Economic Commission, which was initially convened in Istanbul last October, being the most important. The second matter on the agenda was the Strategic Planning Group and the third and final issue on the Turkish agenda, according to sources, was the Civic Forum, which has subcommittees to establish relations in the economic and academic field and not leave relations in the political field only. In regards to the existing Russian sanctions, Daily Sabah’s diplomatic sources added that the sanctions were gradually being lifted, as they had affirmed that remaining sanctions are there due to sanitary restrictions that are currently being discussed between the two countries.
Meanwhile, visa-free travel to Russia from Turkey was also on the agenda, but enhancing Turkey’s relations with Russia was not an alternative to its relations with the West.

Russia is backing a renegade military officer as the future leader of the North African nation

BreakingNews @en di

Russia is taking on the role of kingmaker in Libya by giving its backing to a renegade military officer as the future leader of the North African nation, complicating UN-led efforts to build a unity government. Emboldened by its military successes in Syria, Moscow has barged into talks to end the civil war that erupted in Libya after the death of dictator Muammar Gadaffi in 2011. Russian President Vladimir Putin believes his country was duped into a UN resolution that authorised the NATO bombing campaign to topple Gaddafi. Gaddafi’s fall was all the more of a blow to the Kremlin because a year earlier it had signed a deal to establish a naval base in the eastern city of Benghazi. Jonathan Eyal, the associate director of the Royal United Services Institute, a British defence and security think tank, said the chaos in Libya represented an opportunity for Mr Putin to demonstrate that Moscow is essential to the resolution of conflicts and power struggles. “Putin has a burning desire to erase the humiliation of Libya. Syria was a launchpad for his narrative that Russia is a great power that cannot be ignored when resolving a crisis anywhere in the world,” said Dr Eyal. “He has set out to make himself indispensable and is working hard to bargain with Donald Trump on Libya and elsewhere.” Russia demanded a leading role for Field Marshal Haftar, who was “doing a lot to fight ISIS terrorists and help the government restore control of oil production”, FM Gatilov claimed.
