Turkey – Istanbul mourns its dead, Erdogan tightens the screw
Istanbul was hit by a bombing perpetrated by a Syrian national, probably a member of ISIS according to Turkish officials. After the death of at least ten German tourists, many Europeans are wholeheartedly with Istanbul. Nevertheless, we tend to not see the wood for the trees. Indeed, Ankara engages in double dealings at its porous borders with ISIS and many questions related to oil-trafficking by the terrorist organisation and Turkey remain unanswered. Meanwhile, the EU’s leaders remain silent.
