Missed last week’s Turkey in Depth? Three free reads to start your Monday: ⚖️ @barcinyinanc: Ankara’s case in Brussels 🍁 @shehbender: Mark Carney’s Oct. 21–23 visit 📺 Portrait of the Week: Halk TV The rest is for subscribers: t.ly/cFbk9

In an age of endless channels, why seize just one? And who takes the hit when you do? This week’s Portrait of the Week turns to Halk TV: its rise alongside AKP rule, its owner, and the staff now caught in the middle 📡 turkeyindepth.com/article/13…

No Canadian prime minister has ever paid a bilateral visit to Turkey. Mark Carney is about to be the first. Trade, energy, defense on the agenda. @shehbender on “variable geometry” and whose signature will still count after the next election: turkeyindepth.com/article/13…

Who reminds whom about the rule of law these days? As the EU’s Industrial Acceleration Act threatens to shut Turkish firms out of supply chains and public tenders, Ankara is the one citing the rulebook. @barcinyinanc at the Turkey-EU business summit in Brussels: turkeyindepth.com/article/13…

A slow Sunday, three considered reads: Why Ankara says the EU must keep its word, by @barcinyinanc ⚖️ What Mark Carney’s first-of-its-kind visit tells us about middle powers, by @shehbender 🌫️ What Halk TV’s seizure means for the people inside it, in our Portrait of the Week 📺 turkeyindepth.com

Halk TV has been seized and its broadcasts suspended. In practice, a channel shut down. This week’s Portrait of the Week isn’t a person but a TV channel: who founded it, who owns it now, and who pays the price 📺 turkeyindepth.com/article/13…

Mark Carney is set to become the first Canadian prime minister to pay a bilateral visit to Turkey. Not long ago, Ottawa was cancelling defense export permits to Ankara. @shehbender on what changed and what still holds 🌫️ turkeyindepth.com/article/13…

Ironic twist in Brussels: it’s now Turkish officials reminding the EU to honour its commitments. Ankara warns the “Made in Europe” push could undercut the 1995 Customs Union, and calls the “back door for China” charge an urban legend. @barcinyinanc reports ⚖️ turkeyindepth.com/article/13…
