A graveyard of ambition
Keywords:
The Economist takes a pessimistic view of EU's relations with Turkey, based now it says on expediency- the EU's need for Turkey to stem the flow of refugees, Turkey facing a sensitive border with Syria and internal opposition to the Erdogan government after restrictions on the media and the judiciary. Turks get visa free entry into Germany in exchange for taking back refugees crossing the Aegean into Europe.
Germany's chancellor Merkel and the EU-Turkey deal in 2016 for Turkey to take back refugees crossing the Aegean sea into Greece
03/24/2016
The EU deal with Turkey is important for Merkel as she faces new provincial elections in 2017 with growing populist pressures and opposition from the CDU to refugee policy. Pressure also comes from the Social Democrats for expanding domestic welfare. Merkel still has a high approval rating of 54% in March 2016 as she works to forge a EU wide policy for refugees.

Lack of coordination between European union nations and with Turkey on intelligence and security- lessons from the Brussels airport/subway attacks in March 2016
03/23/2016
Hillary Clinton points to the lack of adequate coordination between EU nations and with Turkey on security as a serious problem in an address at Stanford University following the Brussels attacks at the airport and busy subway station. Turkey has knowledge about one of the suicide bombers before the attack but information is not shared with EU authorites because of lack of coordination and no mechanism for this. Clinton points out that there is more coordination between the U.S. and an EU nation than between EU nations, and it is easier for the U.S. to get flight manifests than for other EU nations to share this with each other.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
