First and foremost, this relates to the former prime minister's state of health, he added. READ MORE

ISSUE #27
08/22/2011
On 22 August 2011, the Kiev Pecherskyy district court continued the trial of the former Ukrainian prime minister and the leader of the opposition Fatherland party, Yuliya Tymoshenko. Earlier, the date of the next hearing was postponed in order to conduct a medical examination of Tymoshenko, whose health, according to her supporters, has started to deteriorate for unknown reasons. It is worth mentioning that Tymoshenko's lawyers did not manage to receive permission for her examination by a private doctor. READ MORE

ISSUE #28
08/29/2011
On 29 August 2011, a Kiev district court resumed the trial of the opposition Fatherland party's leader and former Ukrainian Prime Minister, Yuliya Tymoshenko. It is noteworthy that the motion to release Tymoshenko has already been dismissed 12 times by the court. Additionally, the presiding judge turned down three requests from Tymoshenko's lawyer to allow her to be examined by a personal doctor and a nurse. Only doctors representing the Ukrainian Health Ministry received permission to conduct a medical examination of the former prime minister. However, Tymoshenko refused to be examined by them and demanded that her personal doctor be allowed to see her. Earlier, supporters of the Fatherland party's leader said that Tymoshenko's health had drastically deteriorated for unknown reasons. READ MORE

EGF Turkey File  PDF  (92 Kb)

Insights into Turkish Domestic and International Politics during July 2011
Key developments:

  • Turkey is shaken by the abrupt early retirement of the four highest-ranking military officials in the country just prior to the August meeting of the Supreme Military Council. The generals’ resignations, requesting retirement, are in protest at the continued detention of military officers as part of the “Sledgehammer” coup plot investigation.
  • The domestic political scene calms as the Republican People’s Party (CHP) ends its parliamentary boycott, although the “independent” Peace and Democratic Party (BDP) delegates continue to refuse to be sworn in.
  • Despite the fact that over 10,000 Syrians have crossed the border and sought refuge in Turkey, in July Ankara maintained a muted stance towards the Syrian crackdown as no viable alternative to the Assad regime has emerged.
  • Iran, Syria and Iraq announce the Islamic Gas Pipeline project that will compete with Nabucco, while Turkey and Azerbaijan continue to argue over energy issues that could threaten the progress of the Nabucco gas pipeline

Summary report from the recent Wilton Park conference: Turkey’s policies for engagement in the contemporary world  PDF  (150 Kb)

The timing of this conference could not have been more appropriate, and backdrop relevant. The Arab Spring that has spread across the Middle East and North Africa highlights Turkey’s growing importance in the region and the role it can play in facilitating transition to democratic governance throughout these regions. Turkey is a secular and democratic state, and yet there has been much discussion about Turkey’s renewed ties with its neighbours. It has been viewed, by some, as evidence of Turkey turning away from its traditional alliances with the West. READ MORE

Five good reasons to be sceptical about the "Arab Spring"  PDF  (126 Kb)

There is a certain understanding amongst Middle East politics experts that a game breaking event of cataclysmic proportions hits the region once every ten years or so. September of this year will mark the 10th anniversary of the unimaginable acts of terrorism which were perpetrated in New York in September 2001 by Arab suicide bombers.

Insights into Turkish domestic and international politics during June 2011

Key Points:

  • Despite the fact that the ruling AKP did not gain the electoral majority it requiredto unilaterally re-write the country’s constitution, the party continues to be the overwhelmingly dominant player in the Turkish political landscape.

  • As was inevitably the case with Turkey’s position towards Libya following prolonged civil conflict in the country, Ankara’s position towards Syria is slowly but surely adjusting towards a tougher stance

  • Turkey continues to keep one foot in Nabucco’s door, and the other in bilateral energy arrangements with neighbouring states. READ MORE
