Quick Glance: Europol's Insights on Turkish Criminal Networks in Europe

nzz.ch/meinung/erdogan-darf-der-hamas-nicht-den-roten-teppich-ausrollen-ld.1827403
Quick Glance: Turkey Should Not Provide Sanctuary to Hamas
- The images of the meeting between the Turkish President and the Hamas leader in Istanbul are causing unease. Supporting the terrorist organization is problematic. The Islamists are no longer suitable as negotiating partners for resolving the Middle East conflict.

- Moving the Hamas headquarters to Turkey would be a provocation towards Israel and its allies. Hamas has discredited itself as a reliable negotiating partner. A political resolution of the Middle East conflict should exclude the involvement of Hamas.

Quick Glance: Turkey: New Foreign Policy as Opportunity for EU and West
- Erdogan shifts towards a more conciliatory foreign policy and re-engages with the West. Europe should support this reorientation as Turkey remains a key player in the region.
- Turkey recently ratified Sweden's NATO membership and was rewarded with the promise of new fighter jets from the US Congress.
- Turkey aims for relaxation in relations with Greece and in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. However, the reliability of this new harmony remains uncertain.
- Turkey relies heavily on the EU economically and seeks a new customs agreement. Its flexible approach in foreign policy is evident, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.
