Yıldız Palace, a historic Ottoman palace in Istanbul’s central Beşiktaş district, has been allocated for use by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a Turkish columnist wrote on Nov. 8, sparking a debate over the use by statesmen of the area which included large green parks.

The agenda of the discussion during the opening dinner of the 10th G-20 summit on Nov. 15 in Turkey’s Mediterranean city of Antalya is set to focus on the Syria crisis and the ongoing migration problem

If Ankara does not join Europe’s efforts to tackle the refugee crisis the situation will deteriorate, European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Dimitris Avramopoulos, has warned.

HDP deputy Altan Tan assessing November 1 general election results has said HDP couldn’t convince PKK, and clarified his past comments on presidential system.
Apart from consolidating popular legitimacy and injecting fresh blood into the bureaucracy, elections are often seen as an opportunity to enable policy revisions

Turkey, one of the provocateurs of war in Syria, blames international community, Europe for refugee crisis… Eurosphere agenda…

http://ift.tt/1KRvGAr

European leaders must understand that the refugee crisis is no longer a legal or political matter but is about the future of humanity, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has said, accusing the international community of not doing enough to address the problem.
Hungarian authorities were locked in a stand-off with migrants who left Budapest’s main train station on foot for Austria, while the U.K. said it would take thousands more Syrian refugees as the crisis gripping Europe mounted

The case of a young boy’s doomed journey has landed as a political bombshell across the Middle East and Europe.

Photographs of three-year-old whose body washed up on a Turkish beach galvanised debate about Europe’s refugee crisis

The three-year-old Syrian boy whose death galvanised public opinion and put pressure on European governments to tackle the continent’s refugee crisis has been buried in the town of Kobani alongside his mother and brother.

So Aylan Kurdi’s picture did make a difference to the refugee debate

National newspapers pick up the arguments the day after the images were published of the lifeless little boy washed up on a Turkish beach

And it comes to pass that the photograph of a boy’s body washed up on a Turkish beach has made a difference to the debate about the refugee crisis.

 

Little was done in Western capitals to stop or mitigate the slow-motion disaster that was befalling Syrian civilians and sending them on the run.

Alexis Tsipras and Yanis Varoufakis shared a vision once, but the double act of the Greek debt drama’s most colourful characters now appears well and truly over.

Father of Aylan describes moments before losing his family – video

Abdullah Kurdi, 40, the father of three-year-old Aylan, describes the dramatic moments when the boat he was travelling on with his family suddenly capsized in the Mediterranean. Aylan’s body washed up on a Turkish beach on Wednesday, sparking an international outcry. Kurdi is a Kurdish Syrian who has been in Turkey for three years and previously lived in Damascus. He says he no longer has any desire to continue on to Europe

MAIN FOCUS: Refugee chaos in Budapest | 02/09/2015

Thousands of refugees are stranded outside Budapest’s Keleti train station, waiting to be allowed to continue their journey westwards. The Hungarian police allowed people to travel by train to Austria and Germany on Monday, then closed the station on Tuesday. Europe is witnessing apocalyptic conditions, some commentators worry. Others are heartened by local demonstrations of support for the refugees.

As photographs of the young refugee appeared again and again in timelines on social media, a debate broke out about the ethics of sharing such graphic images.

The answer to the refugee crisis? A return to European ideals.

The refugee crisis is symbolic of the political crisis in Europe. To avoid systemic collapse, Europe must return to solidarity and protecting those fleeing war and persecution.

Now, with increased refugee arrivals and more frequent tragedies, this system is showing all its weaknesses. The cause of this collapse is not, however, the arrival of refugees in Europe. The real reason is political.
