We are also told by a senior Turk that Brexit is bad for UK, EU & Turkey - Turkey expects its exports (of cars, textiles, white goods) to UK to drop by €3 bn p.a. in event of no deal Brexit. https://t.co/zYN2VfCrQy

At #TheBodrumRT we are told EU needs a special envoy to engage Erdogan. Many of us agree that @carlbildt would be ideal - he has kept in touch with Turkish leadership. @EdamOrg @CER_EU

Brexit is bad for Britain, bad for the EU... and bad for Turkey.#TheBodrumRT

At #TheBodrumRT an eminent Turkish commentator berates outside world for not realising that deep changes are underway in Turkish political system. Opposition parties getting stronger.@CER_EU @EdamOrg

The Turkey that will join the EU... will be a very different Turkey from today. #TheBodrumRT
— Bobby Ghosh (@ghoshworld) October 6, 2019
Turkey doesn’t have the luxury NOT to be in the EU.#TheBodrumRT
— Bobby Ghosh (@ghoshworld) October 6, 2019
Fascinating debate:
— Bobby Ghosh (@ghoshworld) October 6, 2019
Turkey’s accession to the EU was always a chimera... it should be dropped, and a new structural relationship should be developed instead.#TheBodrumRT
Day two of #TheBodrumRT starts with the eternal issue of Turkey and the EU. The entire process is in deep freeze, and Brussels has even decided to stop all political dialogue, which is rather shortsighted. We need to talk with everyone. pic.twitter.com/pZW2ERtYis
— Carl Bildt (@carlbildt) October 6, 2019
Today at #TheBodrumRT we begin by discussing Turkey and the next European Union with @asliaydintasbas from @ecfr, Christian Berger from @EUDelegationTur, @frkkymkc

Our final session today asks if we can avoid a global recession with @DanielGrosCEPS from @CEPS_thinktank, @davidlubin from @Citi, @IMateosylago from Blackrock and @PeterRoskam from @SidleyLaw. @CER_Grant chairs. #TheBodrumRT pic.twitter.com/rgX9pGHYYT

Intense discussions at #RTBodrum. I argue that the S-400/F35 issues are just the tip of an iceberg. Different perspectives on and priorities in the meltdown of the Middle East creates new strategic alignments. pic.twitter.com/RhE1hT0k6x
— Carl Bildt (@carlbildt) October 5, 2019
‘S400 row is symptomatic of growing strategic divergence between Turkey and West over 15 years - starting with EU mishandling Cyprus issue.’ @EdamOrg @CER_EU https://t.co/R13rg7hz74
— Charles Grant (@CER_Grant) October 5, 2019
We hear 70% of Turks think they don’t need NATO alliance and 67% want alliance with Russia. Yet just over half want to join EU. And none send kids to Russian unis. @EdamOrg @CER_EU https://t.co/wXIkmz3xi9
— Charles Grant (@CER_Grant) October 5, 2019
Many Turks add that the US is seen as a threat while Russia is not. One says ‘If US won’t sell us F35s we’ll buy Russian SUs’. @EdamOrg @CER_EU https://t.co/GEDEGNbniy
— Charles Grant (@CER_Grant) October 5, 2019
The events of the night of July 15, 2016, when Erdogan was unable to reach Kerry during a coup attempt, but Putin called to offer help, are essential to understanding Turkey’s S-400 decision. #TheBodrumRT
— Bobby Ghosh (@ghoshworld) October 5, 2019
Turkey’s relationship with NATO at its 70th anniversary:
— Ussal Sahbaz (@ussalEN) October 5, 2019
- No clear exit from the S-400 crisis
- This may only be the tip of the iceberg#TheBodrumRT
Lively discussion ongoing on why Turkey opted for S400 system. One explanation offered: Ankara is fed up with dealing with Washington, particularly since the coup attempt. Moreover, Moscow delivers quick, without obstacles like Congress and lobbies. https://t.co/WSGYp78fxS
— Nigar Göksel (@nigargoksel) October 5, 2019
At #TheBodrumRT a heated discussion of Turkish purchase of S400. Some say it stems from Turkish anger at (lack of) US response to the attempted Gulen coup. @EdamOrg @CER_EU
— Charles Grant (@CER_Grant) October 5, 2019
If S-400 hardware was so complex and valuable, Russians probably would not sell it to Chinese, who will reengineer it at the level of atoms.
— Ussal Sahbaz (@ussalEN) October 5, 2019
What is original with S-400s is the software, and you do not get access to it.#theBodrumRT
A few years ago in NATO there was worry that Turkey would drag the Alliance into conflict with Russia, now the worry is whether Ankara’s S400 decision was one-off, or the start of a trend. #thebodrumrt
