NEWS
★ U.S. media reported that in a phone conversation
with the Iranian president Hassan Rouhani Turkish president Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called Iranian general Qassem Soleimani a martyr and that President Trump expressed surprise about that.
Gen. Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone attack.
The U.S. media reports were probably based on a tweet by the Iranian Embassy in Turkey. The tweet quoted Mr. Erdoğan as using the word martyr.
However, officials in the Turkish capital Ankara with the Turkish Radio and Television denied this.

★ On Wednesday Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Istanbul for the
inauguration of the TurkStream gas pipeline. The pipeline will carry gas
from Russia to Turkey and from there on it will be distributed to Europe.
Russia has been waging an undeclared war against Ukraine, and one of the
goals of the Russian president was to bypass Ukraine.
Turkey and Russia show a unique example of cooperation in a region plagued by heightening tensions, the Russian president said.
Messrs. Putin and Erdoğan had a meeting before the inauguration ceremony. Both leaders have expressed concerns about the impact of the escalating tension between the United State and Iran. Putin said it could "seriously aggravate the situation in the region".
In an op-ed for a Turkish newspaper, Turkey's former deputy Prime Minister Yalçın Akdoğan wrote that Turkey and Russia have found themselves on opposing sides in many issues around the Middle East and North Africa, but the two sides are successfully using diplomacy to find compromises.

★ On Wednesday Tom O'Connor wrote an article in Newsweek magazine titled "Donald Trump wants other countries more involved in the Middle East, but Russia and Turkey already are."
"One NATO nation, Turkey, has already heeded Trump's call, deepening Turkey's involvement in Syria, as well as in the North African nation of Libya, another Arab country beset by a 2011 uprising. In pursuing both endeavors, Turkey has run up against--and come to an understanding with--another major foreign power, Russia." Tom O'Connor added.

★ On Monday, January 6, Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdoğan declared the start of a military deployment to Libya. As we reported
to you last week, the United Nations-backed Government of National Accord of
Libya, which is battling Eastern Libyan forces led by Khalifa Haftar, asked
for Turkish help.
In November 2019, Turkey signed a military cooperation agreement with the Government of the National Accord of Libya. Along with the military cooperation agreement, Turkey also signed a maritime agreement that extends Turkish control over a critical part of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
In related news, in an article titled "Factors Motivating Turkey in Libya" in Stratfor, an American geopolitical intelligence platform and publisher, Sinan Ciddi wrote:
- Turkey is sending troops to Libya not to engage in conflict, but to force a cease-fire.
- Turkey's primary concerns in Libya are to pursue oil and gas interests in the Mediterranean and rally domestic support behind President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He also wants to direct the attention of the Turks away from the ailing economy.
- Erdoğan will work with Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure a cease-fire in Libya, not only to protect Turkish interests but also to project himself as a regional actor to deal with.

★ According to Reuters, Turkey and Libya are close to
signing a memorandum of understanding for the compensation of Libyan debts
of $2.7 billion to Turkish companies that worked in Libya before the fall of
Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Turkish businesses are staying away from Libya due to unpaid debts.
Muzaffer Aksoy, the head of the Turkish-Libyan Business Council, says that despite the absence of Turkish businesses in Libya, the trade between the two countries remains good. Turkish exports reached $2 billion on an annual basis, and imports from Libya are $350 million.

★ Turkish and Greek diplomats met Friday in a bid to defuse
rising bilateral tensions over control of the eastern Mediterranean Sea,
which is at the center of a regional scramble for what might be vast gas
reserves, reports Dorian Jones of the VOA.
The Turkish-Greek gathering in the Turkish capital Ankara follows Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's confirmation Thursday of plans for a "diplomatic initiative" to calm tensions between the two NATO nations.
Greece and Turkey are historical rivals with long-existing territorial disputes over the shared Aegean Sea and divided the island of Cyprus, Dorian Jones adds.
Those rivalries have been exacerbated by a dispute over the control of the Mediterranean Sea, where significant exploration for hydrocarbons has been going on since Israel's discovery of the vast Leviathan gas field.
Greece has exploited Turkey's regional isolation by building an alliance with Israel and Egypt while seeking to develop and distribute natural gas. All the countries have strained or nonexistent relations with Turkey.

★ Eastern Libyan forces led by Khalifa Haftar are rejecting Turkey and Russia's call for a cease-fire starting Sunday.
Haftar's Libyan National Army issued a statement Thursday, saying it appreciates their effort to "seek peace and stability," but it will continue the war against "terrorist groups," meaning the U.N.-backed government in Tripoli.

★ According to The Hill, an online publication that
focuses on politics, policy, business, and international relations,
basketball team Celtics center Enes Kanter has also assumed the role of
a political figure against Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"Standing almost seven feet (211 cm) tall, the Swiss-born Turkish athlete has built himself an impressive contact list of high-profile U.S. politicians and D.C. insiders," The Hill writes.
However, Enes Kanter is a wanted man in Turkey for his support for the US-based preacher Fethullah Gülen. Many in Turkey and abroad see Gülen and his followers as the organizers of the 2016 coup attempt in Turkey.

★ In an article in the Foreign Affairs magazine, Philip
Gordon and Amanda Sloat wrote that the U.S. and Turkey still need each other
and called the current relations between the two countries "the dangerous
unraveling of the U.S. Turkish alliance".
The article cites Turkey's purchase of Russian missiles, sending of troops to Syria to contain the U.S. ally Kurdish militia and the U.S. lawsuit against a state-owned Turkish bank as some of the issues that are souring the relationship between the two countries.
The authors said that there are high costs to now treating Turkey like a rival, including pushing Turkey closer to the U.S. adversaries such as Iran and Russia.
"To prevent such a disastrous outcome, the Trump administration and Congress both need to better understand the roots of the clash between Turkey and the United States, and avoid counterproductive actions that will only drive the two countries further apart," the authors added.
PHILIP H. GORDON is the Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. He served as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs from 2009 to 2013 and as White House Coordinator for the Middle East from 2013 to 2015.
AMANDA SLOAT is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Southern European and Eastern Mediterranean Affairs from 2013 to 2016.

★ According to the Turkish daily Cumhuriyet, inclement
weather forced several international and domestic flights from Istanbul's
new airport canceled on Monday.
The new airport is by the Black Sea coast, where the weather could get extremely rough during the winter. The critiques of the airport were pointing this out when it was being planned.
In related news, although not on the Black Sea coast, authorities also closed Istanbul's second airport Sabiha Gökçen to traffic until Wednesday morning after a Boeing 737 jet skidded off the runway due to weather conditions.

★ In an interview with the Turkish daily Karar, renowned
Turkish-born MIT economist Daron Acemoğlu said that Turkey has a serious
productivity problem because the government has compromised the independence
of key institutions and failed to encourage the development of new ideas and
technologies.
Instead of encouraging improvements in productivity, the ruling Justice and Development Party grew the economy through investments in construction and real estate.

★ President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan fired dozens of senior staff from Turkey's

★ The Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak is the son-in-law of
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Critics say that he is simply a spin doctor and unable to make economic policies on his own but simply executes what Mr. Erdoğan wishes.
This week Mr. Albayrak said the Turkish currency had gained 10 percent since the end of August 2018, the month when a currency crisis ravaged financial markets. What Mr. Albayrak did not mention, the experts point out, is that since the beginning of 2018, the Turkish currency had lost 35% of its value against the dollar.
