How would US, EU sanctions impact Turkey?

Ara 15 2020, Salı

Turkey engaging in an efficacious policy in its region lately has seriously disturbed primarily the U.S. and also many EU countries. When the policies they had started implementing in 2013 to destabilize Turkey proved futile, the fact that they opted to put their last-ditch effort, sanctions, into place was a result of this perturbation.In the EU Leaders’ Summit on Dec.10- 11, a heated discussion erupted between countries like Greece, the Southern Greek Administration of Cyprus, France— which al

How will Turkey be affected if Biden wins the US elections?

Eki 27 2020, Salı

The U.S. elections to be held on Nov. 3, 2020 is perhaps going to be the most chaotic elections seen in the country in the past years, with the most unenthusiastic, unassertive, and oldest candidates running for president. If we were to analyze the presidents elected after Democrat candidate Bill Clinton, who was the last president of the 20th century; after Republican candidate George W. Bush followed Barack Obama, who was perhaps the most promising, charismatic leader of the century, and whose

How will Turkey’s natural gas discovery affect its economy, politics?

Ağu 26 2020, Çarşamba

Turkey’s long-ongoing natural gas explorations in the East Mediterranean have always been a bone of international contention. Turkey’s drillship Fatih, which carried out the country’s first national deep-sea drill in the Black Sea, last week discovered a 320-billion-cubic-meter natural gas reserve in the Tuna-1 well located in the Sakarya Gas Field. Thus, Turkey dicovered the biggest natural gas reserve in the Black Sea in its history. This development inevitably turned all eyes worldwide to Tur

Energy resources in the East Mediterranean and Turkey

Ara 04 2018, Salı

There are many topics written and discussed on the last period of the Ottoman Empire. One of these is that after World War I, borders were drawn based on oil regions, and the oil regions left within the borders were eliminated on the maps. Intense operations were launched during former Energy and Natural Resources Minister Berat Albayrak’s time in office to clarify this matter, which has been argued over for years.Explorations in the Black Sea and Mediterranean have been accelerated greatly to i

Is there a problem in Turkey's foreign debt repayments?

Eyl 11 2018, Salı

As everything in Turkey is going normal, one of the matters the groups most disturbed by this dwell on is the rollover risk of Turkey's foreign debt. While the countries around us are having difficulty paying off their debts, as a matter of fact, while they are unable to find new loans or become indebted at a very expensive rate, the lack of such a problem in our country has extremely disturbed certain groups both in Turkey and abroad. One of the most important reasons behind this is that it is

America continues to rock the balance of the world

Ağu 07 2018, Salı

It is incorrect to think that the recent events taking place in Turkey are limited to Turkey alone. The unilateral cancellation of many agreements and imposition of economic and political sanctions on some important countries in consistence with the trade wars initiated by U.S. will obligate that the political and economic structure of the world be redesigned.Since certain countries are adversely affected by these developments, it will result in them trying to establish new political alliances w

The G6 is bigger than the US, and the world is bigger than the G7

Haz 19 2018, Salı

The seven countries with the world’s largest economies (the U.S., Germany, Japan, U.K., France, Italy and Canada) met at the 44th G7 Leaders' Summit held this year which was hosted by Canada. Before the summit, it was expected that the subject of the trade wars would be brought forward again and that protectionist economic policies, especially the additional customs tariffs imposed on metals, sanctions on Iran and climate change would be discussed.But the tension between Canadian Prime Minister
