    Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 5 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 5 hours ago

“Our ambassador has not done anything that warrants an expulsion. We will continue to call on Turkey to comply with democratic standards and the rule of law to which the country committed itself under the European Human Rights Convention.”

“I believe it will bring our countries closer. And I also believe that it gives us an opportunity to discuss the various areas of interest, especially trade opportunities, that exist between both countries. Turkey has had ties with Nigeria since it gained independence in 1960. They have grown closer with the good relationship between Erdogan and Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. Direct flights between Turkey and Nigeria have enabled many Nigerians to visit Turkey to shop for the holidays and for medical tourism. The countries will grow closer still. Turkish investments in Africa are very different from Chinese ones. I've been in discussions with various Turkish industrialists and investors, and they were interested in coming to do business in Africa. They are prepared to give long-term facilities to the African continent.”

“With the modernisation of the F-16s, the Rafale purchase and frigate purchase, Greece is covering some of the lost ground. Because all these years, Turkey greatly reinforced its defence industry. In very little time over 70 percent of its systems are home-built. Let's not kid ourselves, Greece is doing all this because of its problems with Turkey. If we had the neighbours Switzerland has, things would be much simpler and money would go to education, health and the social state.”

“I've had a very open discussion with President Erdogan, and I think we agreed that it is important to keep potential refugees and migrants as close to their home country as possible. It made sense for the EU supporting Turkey to help address the issue.”

“A more restrictive framework has been created in relation to reception conditions and asylum procedures in Greece. The legislative framework excludes various nationalities from refugee status determination procedures, unilaterally claiming Turkey is a safe third country for them, while reception conditions for those arriving in Greek islands remain far below European standards. On the other hand, the announcement of closed reception centres is proof of the hostile environment for refugees and asylum seekers.”

“The international community should continue its calls for the embracement of all sectors of the Afghan society to ensure durable peace in the period ahead. On the broader perspective, Turkey's Afghanistan policy has four main pillars: Preserving unity and territorial integrity, consolidating security and stability, strengthening a broad-based political structure prioritizing popular support and participation, and providing peace and welfare to the Afghan people through clearing the country of terrorism and extremism.”

“In the early 1990s, one of the core obstacles to relations was the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and strong opposition from Azerbaijan to any rapprochement between Ankara and Yerevan. With the status quo now changed after Armenia's defeat, Azerbaijan does not object anymore.”

“The only thing we see on the ground is that Armenia has allowed Turkish Airlines to fly to Baku directly over Armenia. This is important as a gesture as Turkish airspace remains closed to Armenian flights. Now the burden is on Turkey. Pashinyan's [Nikol Pashinyan] statements, however unpopular they may be in Armenia, are positive. So now the expectation is on Turkey to make a move. It's in Turkey's interests to use normalisation with Armenia to gain a seat at the table with Russia for post-war regional configuration.”

“We want good relations with Turkey, the Turkish government and the Muslim people of the Turkish nation. As for Turkish forces stationed in Afghanistan, we are not in need of them in our country and once the evacuation is completed we will secure the airport [of Kabul] by ourselves.”

“I am pleased to see that the list of countries implementing a system based on the EU Digital COVID Certificate is growing steadily and we are setting standards internationally. This will help to facilitate safe travel, also beyond the borders of our Union. I welcome Ukraine, North Macedonia and Turkey in our Digital COVID Certificate system and look forward to more of our neighbours connecting soon.”

“Immigrant pressures are on the rise, and that is why the Taliban are regaining control of Afghanistan. The risk for us inevitably increases. We must also work with the EU to make a more serious commitment to Frontex and to draw up an EU operational action plan in the event of increased migratory pressures at the EU's external borders, namely Bulgaria and Greece, and, of course, an ongoing dialogue with Turkey.”

“Afghanistan is the victim of back-to-back mistakes. President Biden could have delayed this to wait for a political settlement - for even just another month, just get the political settlement first. They could have come to a deal. We all want international forces to leave. It's not sustainable or logical from any point of view to have a foreign force protecting your country, but this is so untimely for the US to have chosen now, in the middle of negotiations and before we get a settlement. If the Americans were to stick to their political leverage, pressing the Taliban and using all sources of pressure against them, then I think they would have come to a negotiated settlement. They used the travel [lifting of UN travel sanctions, enabling the Taliban leadership to be in Doha for talks] to strengthen their own position; they went to China, Russia, Iran [and] Turkey to bolster their support and enjoy the standing and the position they want. That is why I think the world must watch the situation unfolding very carefully. To ensure there are no blank cheques as they ignore human rights.”

“North Macedonia and Turkey are not only strategic partners but also friends who respect and cooperate for almost three decades, without a single stain on relations. Friendship and cooperation strengthened with NATO and will help greatly in promoting the standards and readiness of the Army of the Republic of North Macedonia as the 30th member of NATO.”

“The whole idea of continuation of Turkey's important mission in Afghanistan is to ensure that the peace and stability in Afghanistan is maintained and strengthened. The peace and stability of Afghanistan has close links to the economic development of the region, including preventing the influx of migration to all our neighboring countries and the region, especially Turkey. This is a peace mission. This is in support of peace and stability. Turkey's extended mission at the airport [Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul] will continue to have the support of the Government of Afghanistan, as well as the support of the other NATO members, especially the US.”

“There can be no doubt that geopolitical neglect on the part of the European Union, whose agenda since 2010 has been taken up almost entirely by financial stability and the internal budget issues, has left the Balkans alone and prey to their historical fears and mutual distrust. Moreover, the European Union's sluggish and hesitant approach has opened up the Balkans to other major players, from China to Russia, Turkey and the Arab countries. The vaccines situation is emblematic: they first arrived from Moscow, Beijing and Ankara rather than from Brussels. All this has weakened Europe's credibility and has given rise to disillusionment and frustration in the chancelleries and the general public of the Balkans.”
