Inside Turkey’s Secret Cube: Hakan Fidan Examined
Turkey Continues to Capture International Media Attention
The international media’s fascination with Turkey shows no signs of waning, as various news outlets around the world report on recent developments in the country.
German news agency Deutsche Welle chose the headline “Swedish Message from Turkey to NATO Allies,” highlighting Turkey’s stance on Sweden’s NATO initiative. Arab News, on the other hand, focused on President Erdogan’s statement that Turkey will not support Sweden’s NATO proposal unless anti-Turkish protests cease.
Russia’s TASS news agency emphasized Erdogan’s unwavering policy towards Greece, even after his re-election as Turkey’s president. Russia Today, another Russian broadcaster, raised concerns regarding new defense plans developed by NATO countries. According to their report, Turkey and Spain have objected to these plans and their potential implementation against Turkey.
Meanwhile, Greek newspaper Kathimerini claimed that the NATO summit failed because of Turkey’s interference. The newspaper accused Turkey of blocking plans for defense against a possible Russian attack and highlighted Ankara’s objections to Southern Cyprus as a determining factor in the outcome of the meeting.
CNN Greece went a step further, with a provocative headline stating “New Blackmail from Turkey at the NATO Meeting.” The article alleged that Ankara attempted to turn the meeting of defense ministers into an “eastern bazaar.”
London-based Saudi Arabian newspaper Şarkul Avsat focused on Turkey’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hakan Fidan. The newspaper described Fidan as a former non-commissioned officer who has ascended to the position of leader of diplomacy, opening doors to previously hostile countries. The article highlighted Fidan’s role as a key figure in Ankara’s new approach to the Damascus administration and emphasized his reported love for Turkish movies and TV series.
In addition, Şarkul Avsat pointed out that Fidan’s background is impressive and stated that he is known to be interested in various art forms, particularly historical TV series. The article also mentioned Fidan’s extensive reading habits and depicted him as a calm and dedicated individual.
The Saudi newspaper concluded its analysis by discussing the changes implemented within Turkish intelligence under Fidan’s leadership. It suggested that Fidan is working to enhance Turkey’s intelligence presence in key regions and meet the country’s growing needs across the globe.
As Turkey’s prominent figures garner international attention, it is evident that the country continues to play a significant role on the global stage.
