Erdogan

Erdogan urged Muslim nations at an Arab League summit in Saudi Arabia to unite against Israel

There is much at stake. Gulen’s death could change things in Turkey, or it could lead the regime to feel more confident and become more aggressive. 

Erdogan said that Turkey stood with the Lebanese government, offering his condolences for those killed in the Israeli strikes, while saying the Muslim world should show a more "determined" stance.

Erdogan said in July that Turkey would extend an invitation to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "any time" for possible talks to restore relations between the two neighbors.

Turkish President Erdogan and Egyptian President Sisi discussed Gaza, improved ties, and signed agreements on various sectors during a landmark meeting in Ankara.

Video footage showed MPs for the ruling AKP party rushing in to punch Ahmet Sik at the lectern and dozens more joining a melee, some trying to hold others back.

A Turkish diplomatic source said that, with the agreement, a Joint Security Coordination Centre would be established in Baghdad along with a Joint Training and Cooperation Centre in Bashiqa.

"We ask all of our allies that have any relations with Iran to prevail on them to de-escalate, and that includes Turkey," said US ambassador.

It could have been different. Turkey could have been a great engine of world peace, a natural mediator between Arabs and Jews, but for now, it must endure yet more of the man who crushed its freedom.

In response to the lowered flag, Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz made an order to summon Turkey's deputy ambassador to Israel for a "stern reprimand" and slammed the representatives.
