  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 8 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 8 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“I am the first woman to be president of the European Commission. I am the president of the European Commission, and this is how I expected to be treated when visiting Turkey two weeks ago. Like a commission president, but I was not. I felt hurt, and I felt alone, as a woman, and as a European. Because it is not about seating arrangements or protocol. This goes to the core of who we are.”

“I was very displeased by the humiliation that President von der Leyen had to suffer. It's that with these - let's call them what they are - dictators, of whom, however, one has need, one must be frank in expressing differences of views, opinions, behavior, of visions of society....but also ready to collaborate, more to cooperate, to cooperate to ensure the interests of one's country.”

“The European Union is deeply concerned about the negative developments in Turkey in the areas of the rule of law, human rights and the judiciary. In this regard, the detention of more than a hundred students exercising their legal right to freedom of assembly, as well as the decision of the Governor of Istanbul to ban all meetings, demonstrations and marches in two areas covering the hinterland of Boğazi University is a deeply worrying development, and runs counter to the authorities' stated commitment to reform to EU values ​​and standards. The COVID-19 pandemic cannot be used as a means of silencing critical voices. Hate speech used by high-ranking officials against LGBTI students during these events and the closure of an LGBTI association is unacceptable.”

“Germany has worked hard to facilitate a dialogue between the European Union and Turkey over the past months. But there have been too many provocations, and tensions between Turkey, Cyprus and Greece have prevented any direct talks. For this reason, we will talk about what consequences we should draw – also with a view to the EU summit this week.”

“We expect the EU to keep its promises, not to discriminate against us or at least not to become a tool to open enmities targeting our country. We don’t see ourselves elsewhere but in Europe. We envisage building our future together with Europe.”

“Turkey weaponized migration and now it weaponized trade. What else does it have to do for us to take action? We should suspend the customs union. We are not going to trade with someone who blackmails us and boycotts us”

“Turkey is and will always be an important neighbor. But while we are close together on the map, the distance between us appears to be growing. Yes, Turkey is in a troubled neighborhood. And yes, it is hosting millions of refugees, for which we support them with considerable funding. But none of this is justification for attempts to intimidate its neighbors.”

“It is hypocritical for the European Union to call for dialogue and, simultaneously, make other plans regarding Turkey's activities within our continental shelf in the Eastern Mediterranean. We are proficient in the language of peace and diplomacy, but do not hesitate to do the necessary thing when it comes to defending Turkey's rights and interests. France and Greece know that better than anyone.”

“We must walk a fine line between preserving a true space for dialogue and at the same time showing collective strength in the defense of our common interests.”

“In the Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey has been showing a worrying assertiveness – with increased number of flights over Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, drilling operations in the Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zone and signature of the maritime Memorandum of Understanding with Libya, which we do not recognise here in the European Union. On these issues, we have been sending clear messages to Turkey. We are determined to protect principles, values, borders, and sovereign rights of the Member States. We will also continue working for a political solution in Syria and Libya.”
