Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Guillaume Perrier Pour sa première visite officielle à Ankara, John Kerry a été plongé dans le grand bain. Le secrétaire d'Etat américain est arrivé légèrement en retard à son entretien avec le premier ministre, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, qui n'a pas manqué de le lui faire remarquer. Avant d'arriver dans la capitale turque, M. Kerry et sa délégation avaient souligné leur intention de rappeler à l'ordre M.Erdogan après des propos jugés "corrosifs" pour les relations entre les deux alliés.

Le chef du gouvernement turc s'est attiré de nombreuses condamnations pour avoir assimilé le sionisme à l'antisémitisme, au fascisme et à l'islamophobie, mercredi, à Vienne, dans un discours prononcé devant le forum de l'Alliance des civilisations, sous les auspices des Nations unies.

'Wikileaks documents show Turkey helped al-Qaida' Founder and editor of the WikiLeaks website, Julian Assange. Photo: Associated Press Wikileaks is planning to release files that show Turkey has helped al-Qaida in Iraq, according to London-based daily Al-Hayat.

The newspaper also reported that the US helped the PKK, a Kurdish rebel organization. One of the documents, a US military report, reportedly charges Turkey with failing to control its borders, because Iraqi citizens residing in Turkey provided al-Qaida with supplies to build bombs, guns and ammunition. RELATED:US warns of harm from impending WikiLeaks releaseAnalysis: Lies, leaks, death tolls & statistics A Wikileaks administrator also told Al-Hayat that the site needs Turks to volunteer to translate documents about Turkey's role in the war in Iraq and its bid for EU membership.

US diplomatic outposts around the world have begun notifying other governments that WikiLeaks may release these documents in the next few days. A Pentagon spokesman, Marine Col. Musings on Turkey. As Thanksgiving approaches, for Americans our thoughts naturally turn to turkey. But since this is an arms control blog, our thoughts turn to Turkey — the country. The United States is pressing Turkey on the issue of missile defense at the Lisbon Summit, leading my colleague at MIIS, Jessica Varnum, to wonder whether this is such a clever idea.

Musings on Turkey in the Run-up to Thanksgiving: Part 1 “If it is no feast or celebration, then why did my brother-in-law kiss me?” I was rather taken aback when a male Turkish colleague grinningly conveyed this to me during a visit, last month, to Istanbul. I laughed (mostly in confusion), soon to understand he was referring to the “gift” of missile defenses generously pressed on Turkey by its ally (or should that be brother-in-law), the United States. This gem of a Turkish idiom essentially conveys the suspicion that the giver of an unexpected gift or favor may be motivated by a hidden agenda.

Statement of President Barack Obama on Armenian Remembrance Day. Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release April 24, 2009 Statement of President Barack Obama on Armenian Remembrance Day Ninety four years ago, one of the great atrocities of the 20th century began.

Each year, we pause to remember the 1.5 million Armenians who were subsequently massacred or marched to their death in the final days of the Ottoman Empire. The Meds Yeghern must live on in our memories, just as it lives on in the hearts of the Armenian people. History, unresolved, can be a heavy weight. The best way to advance that goal right now is for the Armenian and Turkish people to address the facts of the past as a part of their efforts to move forward. Together, Armenia and Turkey can forge a relationship that is peaceful, productive and prosperous. Nothing can bring back those who were lost in the Meds Yeghern.

Turkish Parliament Debates US Nuclear Weapons At Incirlik Air Ba. Nucléaire : Washington furieux après l'accord entre la Turquie, Le Monde.fr avec AFP et AP | • Mis à jour le L'accord tripartite sur l'enrichissement d'uranium iranien signé le 17 mai entre Téhéran, le Brésil et la Turquie n'est pas du goût de Washington. La secrétaire d'Etat américaine, Hillary Clinton, a fustigé, jeudi 27 mai, ce rapprochement, assurant que Washington était "en grave désaccord avec la diplomatie brésilienne vis-à-vis de l'Iran". Lors d'un discours devant la Brookings Institution, Mme Clinton s'est opposée au Brésil en estimant que cet accord permettrait à Téhéran de gagner du temps alors que la communauté internationale, Washington en tête, réclame de nouvelles sanctions contre les ambitions nucléaires iraniennes. Selon les termes de l'accord, 1 200 kg d'uranium iranien faiblement enrichi (3,5 %) seront échangés en Turquie contre 120 kg de combustible enrichi à 20 % fournis par les grandes puissances, destinés au réacteur de recherche de Téhéran.

La Russie, autre puissance nucléaire, est en effet réticente à l'accord. Cook: Friction in U.S.-Turkey Relations over Iraqi Kurdistan - C. Steven A. Cook, CFR fellow and expert on political reform in the Arab world, says relations between the United States and Turkey are strained due to conflicting interests in Iraqi Kurdistan. Washington does not want to upset the relative stability in northern Iraq, whereas Turkey seeks to remove the threat of Kurdish militants in the region. "Many Turks blame the United States for their national security problems and the larger concern about the emergence of an independent Kurdish State," Cook, who co-authored a recent Council Special Report on U.S. -Turkey relations, says. What are Turkey's foreign policy interests in Iraq? Its primary interest is maintaining the unity of Iraq because they are very concerned about the rise of Kurdish nationalism. If Iraq does slide into civil war, the Kurds will seek their independence.

I read there are business interests for Turks in northern Iraq? Yes, there is quite a bit of Turkish investment. Does the Turkish business lobby hold any real influence?
