US President Barack Obama said that Turkey can do much more to seal off their border with Syria and block off supply routes of the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) during a press conference at the COP21 climate talks in Paris, Tuesday.

Russisch-türkischer Streit: Kreml veröffentlicht Sanktionsliste

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Auf Tomaten, Apfelsinen und Weintrauben aus der Türkei müssen die Russen in Zukunft verzichten. Der Kreml hat die Einfuhr dieser und anderer Güter jetzt untersagt. Es gibt aber auch noch weitergehende Sanktionen.

Russland hat im heftigen Streit mit der Führung in Ankara seine Sanktionsliste gegen die Türkei veröffentlicht. Demnach verbietet Moskau vom 1. Januar 2016 an unter anderem die Einfuhr von Hühner- und Putenfleisch, Tomaten, Apfelsinen, Weintrauben und Salz aus der Türkei. Ebenfalls am Neujahrstag tritt eine Visapflicht für Türken in Kraft.

Der visafreie Reiseverkehr zwischen beiden Ländern war im April 2011 in Kraft getreten und vor allem von Touristen genutzt worden. Zuletzt reisten jährlich etwa vier Millionen Russen in die Türkei, die größte Gruppe nach den Deutschen. Nun stellt Russland – bis auf die Heimreisen russischer Touristen – auch alle Charterflüge mit der Türkei ein. » | Quelle: okü./dpa | Dienstag, 1. Dezember 2015

Marine Le Pen's Front National Makes Political Gains after Paris Attacks

THE GUARDIAN: Far-right party poised to win two regions for first time as it reaps electoral advantage from France’s fear of Islamists and migrants

Looking out across hundreds of flag-waving supporters at a rally in the northern city of Lille, the far-right leader Marine Le Pen told the crowd that the Front National was the only party that could reassure France in this moment of “infinite sadness”.

The death of 130 people in the Paris terrorist attacks was, she claimed, the result of government inaction, lies, and, above all, its “crazy, undiscerning immigration policy”. The Socialist president, François Hollande, who had declared France’s war on terrorism was “a war chief who hasn’t even got the measure of the enemy!” she boomed. Only 10 months after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a Paris kosher supermarket left 17 dead, the government had failed to protect French people from another attack and was “more than just responsible!” she cried. The crowd stamped their feet and roared support, chanting “Hollande resign! Hollande resign!”

The political fallout of the Paris terror attacks looks likely to shake France’s Socialist government this Sunday when the country votes in the first round of key regional elections. Even though Hollande has seen his popularity rise since the attacks, this has not helped his wider party and its candidates. Instead, it is Le Pen’s far-right Front National that stands to make the most gains at the ballot box. » | Angelique Chrisafis in Lille | Tuesday, December 1, 2015

You Can’t Negotiate with Extremists

WALES ONLINE – LETTER TO SOUTH WALES ECHO: I am tired of Muslims proclaiming that Islam is a peaceful religion. Islam spread through the conquest of mainly Christian countries by Arab and Berber armies.

They swept across North Africa and then Spain until they were defeated by Charles Martel at the battle of Tours in 732AD and later expelled from Spain by Isabella and Ferdinand. The Crusades were a response to militant Islam and the persecution of Christian pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. Read more » | Bryan D Prescott | Monday, November 30, 2015

Refugee-welcoming Germany Could Soon Ban the Burqa as It ‘Doesn’t Fit’ Society

EXPRESS: Lawmakers in Germany's biggest state Bavaria want a new law making the wearing of the burqa illegal in the whole of the country.

The conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), which is the sister party in the state to the ruling CDU of Chancellor Angela Merkel, is pressing Berlin to support the measure.

Ilse Aigner, finance minister in Bavaria, said: “The law on a burqa ban should be quickly passed by the government.

“It is first and foremost about showing one’s face. It’s about living together as a society and seeing one another. It doesn’t fit to our society to hide oneself, and it contradicts our idea of sexual equality.” » | Allan Hall | Tuesday, December 1, 2015

Ankara's Decision to Shoot Down Russian Plane Was Wrong, Says Leading Turkish Politician

Figen Yuksekdag, co-chairman of pro-Kurdish HDP, criticised
Turkey's shoot down of a Russian war plane as "wrong"

THE TELEGRAPH: Exclusive: Figen Yuksekdag, Turkey's most powerful female politician, says Ankara wrongly hit Russia, an ally in the fight against Isil, and the shoot down could risk further tension in the region

Ankara's decision to shoot down a Russian fighter jet has escalated tensions in an already fragile region and undermined efforts to build a global coalition against Isil, according to Turkey's leading opposition politician.

Figen Yuksekdag, Turkey's most powerful female politician and co-leader of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), said shooting the warplane meant that Ankara hit an ally in the fight against Isil.

Russia is not part of the US-led coalition bombing Isil positions. However, after the Paris terror attacks on November 13 which killed 130 people, the EU and other countries are seeking a worldwide anti-Isil coalition including Moscow after a UN resolution called for "all necessary measures" to tackle the Islamic extremist threat. » | Raziye Akkoc | Tuesday, December 1, 2015
