Türkiye-Saudi Arabia Relations
27 JUNE 2022

Following Turkiye's diplomatic achievements in Saudi Arabia in late April, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visits President Erdoğan in Ankara, starting a new era of co-operation to strengthen political, economic and security ties. Despite years of strained ties over the blockade of Qatar (2017), and the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in (2018), both countries are now eager to restore the once lucrative trade relationship, increase the number of flights, ease all bilateral trade restrictions and explore new areas for investment.

Germany's PKK Problem
20 JUNE 2022

The German intel testifies to the illegal activities of the PKK, reporting it as 'the biggest foreign extremist group in the country', recording 14,500 followers, 300 criminal convictions, and $17.8M fundraising to date. PKK meanwhile does not declare Germany as a target, treats it as its 'international hub', exploiting Germany's freedom of speech regulations for its terror-support activities that involve large-scale donation campaigns, heavy funding, and constant recruitment to further the harm that has claimed the lives of 40,000 Turkish civilians and security forces in Türkiye in over four decades.

Türkiye-Greece Tensions
13 JUNE 2022

Ahead of the NATO summit, following the U.S's support of Turkiye's opposition on terror-tolerant Finland and Sweden's membership applications, the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visits Washington DC, and uses his 40-minute historic address to U.S. Congress to advise a blockade of weapon sales to Türkiye. President Erdogan subsequently cancells all future meetings with the Greek PM and the rising tensions between the NATO allies lead Greece to place its armed forces on high alert, a callous shadowboxing move that worsens the already bitter case of the unlawfully militarized Greek islands running high risk in the Aegean in conflict with both the Lausanne and Paris Treaties.
