Check out this Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/MarkABentley and this articlesfor the lack of alternatives https://www.reuters.com/article/turkey-economy-reforms-int-idUSKBN2B41U3 Its a bit long to summarize quickly, but to summarize the 5 main points: - fiscal policy tightening - price...

Good news if true. But someone needs to help me with where this fits in between our self-developed systems and S400.

Its not the same everywhere, for example you can't compare the Turkish community in the US or UK with let's say Netherlands or Germany. And I dont mean to generalize everyone, because there is a lot of opposition against the government policy among Turks here in Germany too, but Erdogan...

Turkish governments and cooperating with the opposition? We're talking about a government that will decline opposition motions, just to introduce the same one months later.

The planned economic reforms and policies have been announced. https://ms.hmb.gov.tr/uploads/2021/03/Ekonomik-Reformlar-Kitapcigi.pdf Sounds good, but my Economics prof would say that they are not detailed enough: When will these targets be reached, how and what are the exact targets?

Turkey has more to offer both Egypt and Israel, whether its EEZ or the proposed pipeline that would be feasible with Turkish involvement, i.e. linking it to the existing infrastructure at Ceyhan. Turkey could also be a consumer of Israeli and Egypt gas. If only we had competent officials.

In addition, there are differences between Egypt and the United Arab Emirates over a number of regional issues, including the Libyan conflict and the Emiratis’ normalization of relations with Israel. Some reports indicate that there is a widening gap between the two countries’ perceptions of...

No improvement, just the government realizing that they have turned almost every extended neighbour into opposing Turkey and that it could help not to have all your neighbours be your enemies.

Some websites were spreading the false news that Turkish companies bought stakes in the company.

I'm going to say it again: foreign policy is a mess, a big fucking mess. Ten years of not talking to Egypt, now Egypt is in a better position to talk, and now they budge. Not the 10 years earlier. Same story for Israel, a decade of bad relations or no relations and when Israel has the best...

Key recommendations Gradually phase down power market support mechanisms such as subsidisation and the obligated procurement by EÜAȘ of a significant share of electricity generation to keep system costs down. Significantly strengthen incentives, market mechanisms and access to finance for...

You think there are politics at play?

I'd like to get a source on that.

Meanwhile, no news about TAI and Aksungur in ages.

Comparison is not perfect, because HDP has ties to the PKK. And Puidgemont or whatever his name is started an illegal referendum with the goal of seceding. So not exactly the same scenario.

Actually I dont and I dont pretend I do. But eventually people might ask for more rights or another leadership, if the economy is not running as smooth any more once the oil revenue declines and wealth is at risk. Just to compare to Turkey: a large part of the countries doesnt give a fuck about...

How likely is it that Saudi Arabia will use its soft and hard power in UAE to force a policy change? I mean for example they basically want to force the HQ of the companies in the region to move to Riyadh, which seems like a dick move towards Qatar and UAE. If there's one thing we agree on than...

Their source of buying happiness is bound to end in this century, let's see if they spend that money wise to keep on buying the happiness or if one day people will demand their rights.

In order to understand that, we would have to understand what the motives are behind the scenes. Is it really the Muslim Brotherhood that is the main issue, is it personal between the countries leaders? Is it Arab vs. Turk? It has been stated a couple of times that Turkish interference in Arab...

Nothing official, its mostly our media and politicians talking officially and trying to open the door to talks a bit.
