Les négociations internationales en matière de dérèglement climatique - France-Diplomatie - Ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Développement international. L'ambassadeur Turc au Luxembourg rappelé. La Turquie a annoncé aujourd'hui avoir rappelé son ambassadeur au Luxembourg après une résolution adoptée par le Parlement de ce pays reconnaissant le génocide arménien de 1915 sous l'empire ottoman, une démarche qui suit le rappel des ambassadeurs au Vatican et en Autriche.
"L'ambassadeur de Turquie Levent Sahinkaya a été rappelé à Ankara pour des consultations", a indiqué un communiqué du ministère turc des Affaires étrangères, qui précise que le chef de la mission luxembourgeoise a été convoqué par ailleurs au ministère. Dénonçant "une erreur" de la chambre des député du Luxembourg, le texte estime que "les Parlements ne peuvent agir comme des tribunaux internationaux pour rendre des jugements" sur des faits historiques.
Depuis la fin avril, la Turquie dénonce systématiquement les déclarations qualifiant de génocide les massacres de centaines de milliers d'Arméniens perpétrés par l'Empire ottoman pendant la Première guerre mondiale, ou qui la pressent de le reconnaître.

Dorsey. .:Middle East Online ميدل ايست أونلاين. A proposed $280 million NATO missile defense system upgrade is straining relations between the United States and Turkey in the run-up to this week’s NATO summit in Lisbon.
Turkish officials say they will only agree to having radar components of the system on Turkish soil if NATO abstains from identifying any potential target of the system and promises not to share intelligence with non-NATO members. The Turkish demands reflect a mounting divergence in US and Turkish foreign policy with Turkey no longer signing up to Western policies simply to align itself with the West but instead making cost-benefit analysis a key element of its decision-making. As a result, Turkey is demanding a quid-pro-quid for its accommodation of the proposed missile defense shield upgrade that threatens to put it between a rock and a hard place. Turkey Seeks Command of NATO Shield. As summit begins, NATO missile shield a test of Turkey's allegiance. Leaders of the 28 NATO member countries begin a two-day summit in Lisbon on Friday, and next to the war in Afghanistan, a missile defense shield to defend against Iran is set to be high on the agenda.
Turkey is seen as playing a key role in the program, but Ankara is far from enthusiastic. This week Turkish President Abdullah Gul said he wrote to NATO leaders explaining his country's concerns over the proposed missile defense shield. Primarily, Ankara fears potential fallout with Iran, with which in the last few years it has rapidly developed strong political and economic ties. Political scientist Cengiz Aktar of Bahcesehir University said the missile defense program is now viewed by Turkey's Western allies as a test of its allegiances.

Ahmet Davutoğlu's "strategic depth" Turkey's Problematic Middle East Role - Council on Foreign Relat. With all the attention in Iraq over the last five years focused on the fate of al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the conflict between Sunni and Shi’ite, the role of Iran, the security of Anbar province, the “surge” and, most recently, the further deterioration of Basra, the situation in northern Iraq has only received sporadic attention. The conventional view has been that the predominantly Kurdish north has been the one relatively stable part of Iraq since the beginning of “Operation Iraqi Freedom” and thus was a good story. Unlike other parts of the country, the invasion left the north relatively unscathed and what became known as the Kurdish Regional Government enjoyed a 12-year head start in building government institutions.
In the immediate post-Saddam period, the KRG was able to deliver services and, importantly, security to the area. Yet, northern Iraq is a flashpoint that has the potential to trip Iraq into another round of civil war.
