Турция требует от США выдачи Фетхуллаха Гюлена

Турция продолжает настаивать на выдаче исламоведа Фетхуллаха Гюлена, который обвиняется в организации неудачной попытки переворота, произошедшего в Турции 15 июля.

Премьер-министр Турции Бинали Йылдырым озвучил это требования во время встречи с председателем американского Объединенного Комитета начальников штабов, Генералом Джозефом Данфордом, который посетил с визитом Анкару.

Издание Hurriyet Daily News со ссылкой на офис премьер-министра приводит слова Бинали Йылдырыма, назвавшего, произошедшую 15 июля попытку переворота, серьезной угрозой для всего турецкого народа и турецкой демократии. Таким образом, поддержа США и осуждение переворота является очень важным фактом для Турции.

Со своей стороны Генерал Данфорд подчеркнул, что он осуждает попытку переворота самым решительным образом и его визит является проявлением солидарности его страны с турецким народом и правительством. Данфорд заверил турецкую сторону в поддержке США и готовности продолжить работу с турецкими властями в военной и других областях.

В понедельник Генерал Данфорд также провел встречу с начальником Генерального штаба Турции, Генералом Хулуси Акаром. Как сообщают турецкие СМИ, когда Данфорд попросил Акара представить доказательства причастности Гюлена к перевороту, турецкий генерал ответил: "Какие доказательства? Я и есть доказательство". Во время событий 15 июля Акар был захвачен путчистами и один из руководителей переворота предложил ему переговорить по телефону с Гюленом.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
