#Virus cases still hovering at alarming level, says #Turkish health minister
Good report but fails to mention that Turkey itself illegally renders Turkish dissidents from foreign countries and allegedly holds them in black sites & tortures them for months on end. "Turkey Offers Uncertain Refuge for Iranians Fleeing Persecution"
Six days after he went missing, Gokhan Gunes returned home Tuesday claiming he was abducted and tortured by Turkish state agents @DiegoCupolo
After a five-year hiatus, #Turkey will resume talks with #Greece on Eastern Med. resources. The collapse of the Turkish lira and Turkey’s economy has finally forced @RTErdogan to embrace diplomacy. As they say, “lots of luck”.
The Turkish defense minister’s recent visit to Iraq has seen several verbal agreements with the central Iraqi government and KRG. Yet whether these agreements would translate into concrete steps remains to be seen by @fehimtastekin
Obscure jihadist groups have stepped up attacks on Turkish forces in the Idlib province, adding to Turkey’s dilemmas in Syria by @fehimtastekin
Pirates off Nigeria’s coast kidnapped 15 sailors from a Turkish-crewed container ship in the Gulf of Guinea on Saturday in a brazen and violent attack that was farther from shore than usual.

I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Our relations with Turkey are not good at this time!

Turkey’s conflict in Syria took a major turn today. First alleged atrocities by Turkish-backed Arab militias, executing Kurds. US military officials tell me it's true, and they are DEEPLY concerned it opens the door to BOTH ethnic cleansing of Kurds and return of ISIS/Al-Qaeda
Turkish state-backed media hails a “successful operation” to “neutralize” an unarmed 35-year old woman working to unite Arabs, Christians, and Kurds in NE Syria. Ms. Hevrin Khalef was reportedly dragged from a vehicle and shot to death. That’s a war crime.
NEW: I've been investigating Trump's interference in the investigation into Turkish-owned Halkbank, and my suspicions were just confirmed. Attorney General Barr — at Trump’s request — was trying to orchestrate a sweetheart deal to please President Erdogan.
Very smart not to be involved in the intense fighting along the Turkish Border, for a change. Those that mistakenly got us into the Middle East Wars are still pushing to fight. They have no idea what a bad decision they have made. Why are they not asking for a Declaration of War?
Syria Kurdish official told us, reacting to Trump’s overnight decision. “The Americans are traitors. They have abandoned us to a Turkish massacre. We can no longer fight against isis and have to defend ourselves. This could allow isis to return to the region.”
