The Republic of Turkey is battling all terror organizations without distinguishing among them; however, there are two that make the top of the list...

The countries connected in this case and the timing is important, but this incident also has a difference.

This attack came just after statements that the new government's foreign policies would change.

Berlin's move was surprising because it was unexpected in that it would not take such a destructive step while such a large-scale refugee crisis existed... On the other hand, we should think about why such a move was made when Ankara was ready to reform foreign policies. (“Ankara mesajı: Dış politika değişikliği zaruri,” (The Ankara message: A foreign policy change is essential), 01/06, Hürriyet.) Ankara noted four points. It said, “Serious steps need to be taken in at least these four areas in foreign policy:”

1- Turkey will support a process in Syria in which all segments of society cooperate and are able to express themselves. We prefer an atmosphere in Iraq in which different segments of society are included, and the relations between the central government and the administration in the north are organized.

2- We desire the soured relations between Turkey and Russia after the downing of the plane to be restored.

3- The relations between the EU and Turkey need to be positively restored after the visa exemption issue. Visa-free travel is very important in terms of Turkey's foreign policies.

4- The normalization of relations between Israel and Turkey. We will insist that the embargo be alleviated and even lifted.

How do you think the Berlin move will affect these four points?

Will it reduce or increase them?
