Every individual or country that criticizes Turkey over democracy and rule of law and doesn’t suport the war launched by the Turkish govenrment against terrorism is an enemy, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.

German news agency, dpa, reported that on Wednesday Erdogan slammed all the organizations and individuals criticizing Turkey over values like “democracy, freedom and rule of law.” During a speech he gave in Ankara to local district leaders, Erdogan said that for the Turkish government “these phrases have absolutely no value any longer,” and only “those who stand on our side in the fight against terrorism are our friend. Those on the opposite side, are our enemy,” he said. According to dpa, Erdogan’s speech was punctuated with standing ovations and regular applause.

Turkish daily Hurriyet also reported that Erdogan pledged to “annihilate all terrorists,” on March 17, hosting a ceremony for the veterans and families of soldiers killed in the fight against the outlawed Kurdistan’s Workers Party (PKK). “Sooner or later, we will annihilate all terrorists in this country with God’s permission,” the Turkish President said.

“Since last July, more than 300 of our soldiers and police officers have been martyred. But do you know what we gained? We have shown both our friends and our enemies that these lands are our homeland,” Erdogan added.

Aggressive rhetoric and actions

On March 16, the Turkish president also strongly pressed parliament to lift the legal immunities of deputies of the Kurdish problem-focused Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which he repeatedly has accused of holding ties with PKK.

HDP is in favor of promoting a peaceful solution between the two sides and it has distanced itself from the use of violence deriving from both fronts. However, Erdogan said on March 16: “Believe me, if these [HDP deputies] get away with it, the resentment of our brothers who are currently fighting in the southeast and our brothers who have been martyred there would ruin us.”

When HDP entered the Turkish Parliament in summer, Erdogan stopped the peace talks with PKK and blamed the left-center party for the PKK terrorist’s actions in Turkey. Because of HDP’s entrance, Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its single-party majority and the Turkish President was unable to change the Turkish political system.

In the second elections in November, AKP secured a comfortable win but HDP managed to remain in the Parliament, despite the aggresive critic by the government.

Now, Erdogan has broadened the definition of terrorism and stressed on March 14 that a terrorist, according to the Turkish state, is not only the person who pulls the trigger, but the “one who made that possible.” The Turkish President added that “their titles as an MP, an academic, an author, a journalist do not change the fact that they are actually terrorists.”

A number of academics and journalists are now accused of being Turkey’s enemies.

More than 60,000 minors have fled warzones to arrive in Germany during the refugee influx. And each one has his or her story to tell.

The reasons behind their flight to Europe and why they are at it alone are many, according to Niels Espenhorst of the Federal Association for Unaccompanied Minor Refugees. He spoke to Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany’s international broadcaster.

As reported by DW, some were sent by their families to escape conscription enforced by the army or militias. Others were separated from their families along the way. Often children leave home because members of their family have joined a militia and there is a danger that they will be drawn into the fighting.

For 16-year-old Fahad, who is currently living in a home for unaccompanied refugee minors in Berlin, it took him nearly a month to reach Europe from Damascus, passing through seven countries. According to DW, his first few weeks in the German capital were spent sleeping in a park across the street from Berlin’s Health and Social Services Office, which serves as a registration point for the refugees. After speaking to several officials, Fahad was put up in a hostel. Once again, he was left to his own devices.

There are currently some 2,000 other youths still waiting for their appointment to meet with the Social Services Office for Minors. They are without healthcare, a guardian or the possibility of attending school.

As for Fahad, he is fortunate to be preparing for his school leaving exams. “My future is the only motivation I have,” Fahad was quoted as saying.

His goal: “To one day have people look at me and ask, ‘Who is that?’ I want to be somebody”.

Turkey's Ahmet Davutoglu speaks to reporters upon arrival at the EU summit Friday morning

Turkey’s prime minister arrived in Brussels last night for what is expected to be an extremely difficult final round of negotiations with EU leaders on a deal that would allow Greece to return of thousands of refugees arriving on its shores to Turkey. The talks are due to begin this morning between Ahmet Davutoglu and three EU leaders – the European Commission and European Council presidents as well as Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister who holds the EU’s rotating presidency – but diplomats last night said they remained unsure whether Ankara would agree to the EU’s terms.

After five hours of talks in a summit last night, the EU’s 28 leaders agreed a common negotiating line that was not much different from a proposal tabled by Donald Tusk, the European Council president, the day before. But those terms include potential poison pills that Ankara has indicated are unacceptable. Foremost among those are measures Turkey would have to implement to completely overhaul its asylum system – including widening the nationalities that received protected status. Currently, only Syrians are given protections similar to those required under the Geneva Conventions, and the new EU negotiating line, seen by the FT, insists all migrants returned to Turkey be treated in compliance with “international standards”. Ankara has signaled it is unwilling to be lectured by Brussels on how it treats refugees.

Tbilisi, 18 March 2016 - Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, Personal Representative to the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, on 17 March, conducted a monitoring exercise on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan as part of his mandate.

“I received information from both sides on recent developments on the border, and listened to their concerns. Both sides highlighted the proximity of villages to the front lines, and that civilians have suffered greatly from ceasefire violations as a particular concern.”

Personal Representative Kasprzyk said: “In light of the upcoming Nowruz Bayram and Easter holidays, I call on the sides to strictly adhere to the ceasefire and to avoid any action on the line of contact or on the border that could lead to an increase in tensions.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to wish the people of the region all the best on the occasions of the upcoming holidays.”
