Turkey reassures investors, says Dutch business not at risk

Dutch direct investment in Turkey amounts to $22 billion, making the Netherlands the biggest source of foreign investment

Dutch investment in Turkey is not at risk from the diplomatic row between the two countries, as Ankara's ire is focused on the Dutch government, not its people or businesses, Turkey's minister for EU affairs told Reuters.

Der Betrug von den Referendum hat in Kurdistan schon angefangen .....

Possible election fraud: Ballot boxes in Kurdish towns relocated

Practices casting doubts on election security have began with less than 40 days left before the upcoming referendum. Many ballot boxes in Kurdish towns have been moved to 'more central' locations before the April 16 referendum, just like they had been relocated in the last 2 elections. The decisions are seen as an important obstacle for the voters, and were taken after the request of gendarme commands and police headquarters in the Kurdish region.

The limits to Ankara’s reliance on Moscow

Turkey’s deepening crisis with Europe has re-energized its desire to expand ties with Russia. Ankara clearly wants to show that it has powerful friends that can reduce its dependence on the United States and Europe. This also works to Moscow’s advantage, given its problems with the West and barely concealed desire to undermine NATO.

Questions surround Turkish businessman at center of Flynn controversy

Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s short-lived former national security adviser whose contacts with Russia cost him his job, is embroiled in a fresh controversy after telling the Justice Department that his consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, was hired by a Turkish businessman to do work that “could be construed to have principally benefitted the Republic of Turkey.”

What is happening in the Turkish military?

No one can question the centrality of civilian-military relations in Turkey’s political life. Early in the last century, a military republic assumed the legacy of a military empire. In the 93 years since, Turkey has experienced four military coups and three abortive attempts. For a third of that time, Turkey was under martial law, and until 2000, practically lived under military tutelage

The botched coup attempt that rattled Turkey on July 15, 2016, marked a double setback for the country’s democracy. As the academic Vahap Coskun succinctly described it, the failed putsch “was an insurrection against the democratic order by a group that had infiltrated the state. Those in the seat of power realized that the most critical organs of the state had been functioning outside their control and that their hold of power had been to a large extent only an appearance.” Turkish democracy thus braced for a second “coup” on July 16 as the government embarked on a ferocious crackdown with the stated aim of dismantling the putschist network and in the process pushing the limits of the law with authoritarian and arbitrary measures.

Turkey walks fine line in dealing with 'frenemy' jihadis

Turkish police detained four terrorist suspects linked to the Islamic State (IS), as well as a cache of explosives and suicide belts, as CIA Director Mike Pompeo arrived in Turkey for official talks Feb. 9.

The arrests are in line with a massive crackdown on Salafi and terrorist networks in Turkey this year. On Feb. 5-6, 820 alleged IS sympathizers and operatives were arrested in 29 cities across Turkey. In all of 2016, Turkish police detained and charged 2,936 people on charges of being Salafi or jihadi terrorists.

Metin Gurcan explains that the “main reason” for the crackdown “is the political climate in Turkey, which is preparing for a constitutional amendment referendum in April that would greatly expand the president's power. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) government is very much aware of the shock effect of the Istanbul nightclub attack in the first hours of the new year. That attack heightened Turkish people's fear of IS and what it can do. The government was harshly criticized for the country’s intelligence and security flaws. IS-initiated, extreme Salafi violence on the eve of the referendum would further frighten the public and expose the government's weaknesses, probably boosting the 'no' votes.”

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Central Executive Board (MYK) released a statement regarding the increasing operations of political genocide as part of which hundreds were taken into custody across Turkey today.

The statement announced that more than 318 people including administrators, provincial-district co-chairs and members of the HDP have been detained in Istanbul, İzmir, Van, Adana, Adıyaman, Kocaeli, Antep, Siirt, Bingöl, Malatya, Bursa and Ağrı provinces and their districts today.


The statement by the HDP said the following:

"The operations against our party, ongoing since July 2015, continue increasingly without a pause since the coup attempt of July 15, 2016. As many as 859 administrators, provincial-district co-chairs and members of our party were detained and 112 of them were arrested since the first day of 2017. As result of continued political genocide operations against our party and its constituents, at least 318 people have been unlawfully arrested today. A total of 9796 people have been taken into custody in operations against our party and its constituents since 22.07.2015, and 2906 of them were jailed, including Co-chairs, deputies, provincial-district co-chairs, administrators and members of our party. According to figures compiled by our IT department, 5471 people from our party were detained and 1482 were imprisoned since July 2016. The main goal of these operations, escalated after the finalization of the referendum date, is to make a referendum without the HDP.

'Environmental massacre': Turkey accused of using coup powers to crush mine protest

The Cerattepe hill overlooking the city of Artvin in Turkey's northeast is one of the country's most idyllic areas of natural beauty. The area is one of the most biodiverse in Turkey, home to more than 600 plant species, 26 of which are distinct to the area, and hundreds of animal types including roe deer, wild boar and grey wolves.

Mining companies have long coveted Cerattepe, which is home to huge reserves of copper, gold, silver and mercury. For more than two decades, locals in Artvin have campaigned to prevent the destruction of Cerattepe and Artvin's ecosystem - often with great success - against a number of Turkish administrations.

Mustafa Akyol writes that despite protests throughout the United States and worldwide over the Trump administration’s executive order restricting access to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries, “the same solidarity did not come from some of the Middle Eastern governments that often claim to be the defenders of the faith,” including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, which, Akyol added, “not only has political expectations from Trump but also has a political elite that has a curious adoration for the new American president.”

Zum ersten Mal seit dem Putschversuch im Juli 2016 besuchte gestern Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel die Türkei. Schon im Vorfeld des unglücklich terminierten Treffens mit Staatspräsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan hagelte es Kritik in der deutschen Presse. Und die türkische Opposition pochte auf klare Worte.

Erdogan machte schon einen Tag vorher klar, welchen Stellenwert die bundesdeutsche Kritik bei ihm hat: Am Mittwoch wurden türkeiweit insgesamt 1848 Personen festgenommen. Ein neuer Höhepunkt der seit Monaten andauernden Massenverhaftungen von Regimegegnern.

Folter? Kein Hinderungsgrund!

Vor der Reise von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel in die Türkei warnen Berliner Regierungsberater vor einer etwaigen Abkehr des Landes vom Westen und dringen auf Zugeständnisse gegenüber Ankara. Staatspräsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan führe die Türkei immer enger an die Seite Russlands, heißt es in einer aktuellen Analyse der Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP); türkische Think-Tanks stellten bereits die Mitgliedschaft in der NATO zur Debatte, einige sprächen sich sogar offen gegen sie aus. Ankaras Trennung von dem Kriegsbündnis und dem Westen müsse unbedingt verhindert werden, schreibt die SWP und rät zu Empfänglichkeit für Wünsche der türkischen Regierung. Tatsächlich hat das Berliner Establishment kaum je einen Zweifel daran gelassen, dass es die Kooperation mit der Türkei nicht nur wegen ökonomischer, sondern vor allem auch wegen strategischer Vorteile bei der Einflusssicherung im Mittleren Osten sowie in Zentralasien aufrechterhalten will; das Land könne als "Landbrücke" in die dortigen Rohstoffregionen dienen, heißt. Bereits im Herbst hieß es in einem Kommentar einer führenden deutschen Tageszeitung, die Zusammenarbeit mit der Türkei müsse selbst dann gewahrt werden, wenn in dem Land "dauerhaft und systematisch Oppositionelle gefoltert" würden.

Why Islamists are no longer Erdogan’s favorites

There is a new theme these days in Turkey's hard-core pro-Erdogan media: The unreliability of opinion leaders or activists who have led Turkey’s Islamist movement for decades, and who have also been strong supporters of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Lately, some prominent Islamists have raised criticism about “corruption by power” in the ruling circles. The Islamists also have criticized the pro-Erdogan propaganda machine, which intimidates, threatens and libels any critic of the president. Although all these Islamist critics used as friendly and respectful a tone as possible, they could not escape being labeled as disloyal or treacherous.

Um in der Mainmetropole eine Art Sozialforum nach dem Vorbild des »Demokratischen Kongresses der Völker« (HDK) in der Türkei zu gründen, waren am Sonntag rund 130 türkische und kurdische Migrantinnen und Migranten ins Frankfurter DGB-Haus gekommen. In der Türkei war erstmals 2009 ein solches Bündnis entstanden. Die Politiker der daraus hervorgegangenen linken Oppositionspartei HDP werden aktuell in der Türkei entrechtet, diskriminiert und verhaftet. »Wir wollen in Deutschland alle systemkritischen und fortschrittlichen Kräfte zusammenführen, um darauf hinzuwirken, den Ausnahmezustand und die Diktatur Recep Tayyip Erdogans in der Türkei zu beenden«, erklärte Mesud Duman, Pressesprecher des HDK Frankfurt. In Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Nürnberg und Köln habe sich der Kongress konstituiert, in weiteren Städten sei es geplant. Europaweit werde er am 4. Februar ins Leben gerufen.

This is the reason why we don't dwell on Turkish deaths in the West


Turkey is alone. First, we’ll take a look at the racist reasons for this. If 39 men and women had been slaughtered in Paris or Brussels or Berlin on New Year’s Eve, the headlines would ripple on for three or four days. Two or three days if the victims had been western European. But of course, this being Turkey, which is a Muslim country – whose people are not always as white as those from “Christendom” – the headlines drifted off far more quickly. Not our lot, we Westerners said.

HDP honorary president: 'Impossible' that constitution referendum will be fair

Most people who faced the kinds of political struggles that Ertugrul Kurkcu has dealt with over his lifetime might consider taking up a different profession. The veteran leftist spent 14 years in jail - originally a death sentence commuted following a 1974 amnesty - after taking up arms following Turkey's second military coup in 1971, taking hostage three British NATO technicians and calling for the release of a number of imprisoned leftists on death row.

Following the abduction, Turkish special forces found Kurkcu and nine other young people in the village of Kizildere in Tokat province. During the ensuing bombardment, all the inhabitants were killed, apart from Kurkcu.

Saddam Hussein's 'grandson': Only Turkey can enter Mosul

Mesut Torun claims to be the grandson of the former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein. Born and raised in Turkey, the 33-year-old still flies the flag for the now-banned Baath Party and its struggle for what he calls the "liberation" of Iraq from Iran and the US.

Iraqi government forces fighting to capture Mosul from Islamic State militants are committing "genocide" against the population, and are facing resistance from Baathists and other Sunni forces in the city, according to Torun.

He also claimed that Baath militants were fighting the Islamic State (IS) group, as well as Iran, the US and Shia militias operating in Iraq, and that only Turkey should enter the city to protect its Sunni population.

Es war eine stürmische Woche in Ankara. Zwischenzeitlich flogen im Parlament die Fäuste. Aber am Ende half es alles nichts. Der energische Widerstand der Oppositionsparteien CHP und HDP, die harsche Kritik der MHP-Parteibasis an der Unterstützung für die AKP - alle Punkte der Verfassungsreform, die das Land zur Ein-Mann-Diktatur umbauen soll, wurden angenommen. Eine weitere Abstimmungsrunde soll am Mittwoch stattfinden, und voraussichtlich im April soll die Abschaffung der Demokratie per Referendum bestätigt werden. Ob das letztlich gelingen wird, ist völlig offen, denn zur Zeit ist eine Mehrheit der türkischen Bevölkerung Umfragen zufolge gegen das Präsidialsystem, in dem Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan dauerhaft per Dekret regieren könnte, ohne dass das Parlament eine Möglichkeit hätte, ihn zu bremsen.

Two jailed pro-Kurdish political leaders are facing jail sentences of 142 and 83 years respectively for alleged links to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), according to the indictment presented by the Turkish state prosecutor.

He presented the indictment of HDP leaders Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag to Turkey’s High Court on Tuesday, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency.

Demirtas has been accused of being a "terrorist organisation manager,” "making propaganda for a terrorist organisation,” “opposing the Law on Meetings and Demonstrations" and "publicly inciting hatred and hostility”.

The British Army is taking part in a joint exercise with military forces from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to the fury of campaigners who say David Cameron's government is prioritising military relationships over human rights.

About 120 soldiers from the Royal Welsh infantry regiment are joining US and European forces taking part in Exercise Efes 2016 in western Turkey.

US pastor in Turkish jail while Gulen dominates talks

Turkey’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called on US President-elect Donald Trump today to extradite Fethullah Gulen, the Pennsylania-based Sunni cleric who was named as the mastermind of the July 15 coup attempt. Yildirim told a news conference that Gulen's delivery to the Turkish authorities would help improve stormy relations between the two NATO allies.

Kurz vor Jahresende wurden die ersten zwei von 29 Verfassungsartikeln zur Einführung eines Präsidialsystems vom Parlament mit den Stimmen von AKP und ultrarechter MHP angenommen. Dies wurde medial durch weitere Verhaftungen, Entlassungen und Demütigungen der Regimekritiker begleitet (vgl. Türkei: Streit um das Präsidialsystem): Die Regierung setzt auf ein Klima der Angst. Einerseits werden Kritiker mundtot gemacht und andererseits wird der islamistische oder nationalistische Mob zu Lynchjustiz ermutigt.

Es ist kalt in der Türkei. Nicht nur die Stimmung ist am Nullpunkt, auch die Außentemperatur. Eine dichte Schneedecke hat Istanbul und Ankara unter sich begraben. Der Verkehr ist noch chaotischer als üblich, am Istanbuler Atatürk-Flughafen geht nichts mehr. Hunderte Flüge wurden gecancelt, die Maschinen stecken im Schneematsch. Aufgrund des Wetters wird zeitweise der Fährverkehr auf dem Bosporus zwischen Europa und Asien eingestellt. Straßenhunde und Katzen suchen Zuflucht in Wohnungen und Geschäften.

Marschrichtung Diktatur

Polizeisperren, Tränengas und Wasserwerfer: Der martialische Aufmarsch der Staatsmacht vor dem türkischen Parlament lieferte am Montag einen Vorgeschmack auf jenen neuen Staat, über dessen Aufbau im Plenarsaal debattiert wurde. Während drinnen die Abgeordneten debattierten, wurden laut Agenturangaben mehrere Demonstranten, die gegen die vom Regierungslager geplante Verfassungsänderung protestierten, von Beamten verletzt.
