MESOP TODAYS OPINION BY DAVID IGNATIUS / WASHINGTON POST
Opinion: After Istanbul Attack, Turkey Shows Solidarity on Fighting Terrorism
4 July 2016 – As Turkey counts the death toll from the horrific terrorist attack at the Istanbul airport Tuesday, a Turkish government that has sometimes dragged its feet on U.S. counter-terrorism policies appears to be standing firmly on the side of its Western allies in combating jihadist terrorism — a welcome sign for Washington.

4 July 2016 – Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have so far been surprisingly resilient to the spillover from Syria’s civil war, in terms of refugees, terror, and domestic divisions. But now the region’s fragile stability is hanging by a thread – with Turkey the most precarious of all.“The war next door: Syria and the erosion of stability in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey”, argues that European states should act fast to bolster stability in these three key states, or risk greater refugee flows and a heightened terror threat from the region.

Erdogan’s latest wake-up call on Islamic State – US, Russia should give Jabhat al-Nusra no quarter
4 July 2017 – AL MONITOR – The Obama administration is considering a plan to coordinate airstrikes with Russia against Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, in return for Russia’s commitment to pressure the Syrian government to end its airstrikes against civilians and US-backed moderate armed groups operating in Syria. – This column wrote in May that the United States should take up the Russian offer to coordinate airstrikes and put Moscow to the test on its and the Syrian government’s targeting decisions. The announcement of US-Russian negotiations comes a little more than a week after the leaking of a “dissent” cable by State Department diplomats calling for an escalation of US military involvement in the war by undertaking airstrikes against the Syrian military.

MESOP INSIDERS : In the Line of Fire — the War Against the UN in Syria
For Syria Comment, July 4, 2016 – By Cyrus Mahboubian, an NGO worker in Damascus (Pseudonym)
Since the war in Syria began, aid delivery has been politicized. The anti-regime camp rejected the very notion of delivering aid through government held areas. Western countries who backed the insurgency and supported regime change pushed for most aid to be delivered “cross border,” from Turkey or Jordan. Diplomats and aid workers based in Turkey or Jordan often went native and viewed aid agencies based in Damascus as the enemy. Even the UN faced divisions and rivalries.

Hinweise darauf, daß die Kapitalisten nur dafür waren, um die Lohnquote zu drücken, prallten ab. Ihnen wie dem Kapital ging es einzig um die „Menschenrechte“ – sie sind selber Millionäre und können sich dies Hobby leisten.
