Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu'nun 75. Dönem Başkanlığı'na Türkiye'nin adayı Volkan Bozkır seçildi. Türkiye’nin adayının seçilmesi Erdoğan yanlısı çevrelerde kendini yüceltmenin de ötesine geçen bir zafer sarhoşluğu meydana getirdi.

Herhalde başka hiçbir ulusta bizdeki kadar yanlış olduğu son derece belirgin, aklı başında herkesin karşı çıktığı, gereksiz bir savaşa girerek devletimizi yıkıma götürme örneği yoktur. Apolojetik tarihçiliğimiz de bu hataları adeta kutsayarak kalıcı hale getirmeye çalışmaktadır. Devlette gücün az sayıda, kifayetsiz yöneticinin elinde toplanması sonuçları itibariyle vahim kararların alınabilmesine yol açmaktadır.

The military intervention of Turkey changed the balance of power significantly in favor of the GNA, thanks to its drone technology. Developed by Erdogan’s son-in-law, Turkish drones had also wreaked havoc on Syrian targets in Idlib, outsmarting the advanced Russian air defense systems. These achievements boosted morale in Ankara and demonstrated that it has the power to shape developments in the region.

Ekonominin kırılganlıkları giderek artarken, konuyla ilgili tartışmalarda pek yer bulamayan bir politika tercihi giderek Türk sanayisi üzerindeki etkisini artırıyor. Son iki ayda binlerce ürüne ek gümrük vergisi getirildi. Hükümet bununla vergi gelirlerini artırmayı, döviz çıkışını azaltarak kur baskısını kontrol altında tutmayı ve ithalatı düşürerek dış ticaret açığını geriletmeyi hedefliyor.

Despite President Erdogan’s unprecedented power, the Turkish politics is still vivid and dynamic. The crumbling economy, combined with the pressure of the COVID-19, has deepened the rifts by encouraging actors to take bolder steps. The economic downturn of the country has been high on the agenda of the Turkish society in recent years.

Bir önceki yazımda Dışişleri Bakanlığı eski mensupları olarak geçen yıl Mayıs ayında, Ankara Emniyet Müdürlüğü KOM şubede yaşadıklarımızı genel hatlarıyla aktarmıştım. Bu yazımda ise kendi “mülakat” tecrübemi paylaşmak istiyorum.

This study evaluates, through long-term projections to 2053, the potential impact of increased EV penetration on Turkey’s energy landscape. It provides a comparative assessment of how changes in the share of EVs within the total vehicle fleet, across several scenario frameworks, could influence fuel demand and petroleum import volumes. A second, closely related objective is to measure the scale of Turkey’s oil dependency in order to establish a basis for examining its policy implications.

This study focuses on the geopolitical dimensions and constraints shaping Turkey’s ambition to become a natural gas hub. The emphasis is on Turkey’s diplomatic relations with key supplier countries, the political instability across the wider Middle East, and the limited capacity of neighboring states to produce and export gas reliably—factors that collectively can make or undermine Turkey’s hub ambitions.

The Turkey–EU Customs Union, established in 1995, has been a defining feature of trade relations between Turkey and the European Union. Over the past three decades, the global economic landscape has evolved significantly, necessitating a modernization of the agreement to address new trade realities, regulatory developments, and emerging geopolitical challenges.

'A gift from God' was one of Erdoğan's first descriptions related to coup attempt in July 15. At first no one realized that God's gift meant a chaotic environment in which he needed to declare a national emergency with no checks and balances and then transform Türkiye’s parliamentary democracy into an executive presidency.

This submission to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) highlights severe issues undermining the integrity of Türkiye's judiciary, particularly focusing on rampant judicial corruption and impunity as well as human rights abuses which they facilitate. Based on the most recent incidents of corruption concerning members of the judiciary who serve in courts in Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara, this report seeks to examine the high-level corruption within the judiciary and the Turkish government’s failure or even willful ignorance in addressing it.

This report focuses on Turkey's prominence as an emerging market for cocaine trafficking and organized crime in the last decade. Cocaine production in Latin America has dramatically increased since 2013, and Turkey’s status as an emerging market has attracted the attention of Latin American government officials on the front lines of the cocaine trade.
