End of Turkey’s Isolation
Turkey tried to remove thorns of its isolation on its own. It did so in Qatar and Libya. It helped in the historical achievement which was made in Armenia by liberating Karabakh recently. The discovery of natural gas in the Black Sea will mean its relative self-sufficiency in the energy sector.
If we have a close look, we will find that Turkey relied heavily on local instruments. In Libya and Karabakh, Turkish drones proved that they could carry out robust strikes against the opponents. They made the battles decisive with least damage and helped in rapid and clear advancement. For gas, it used the tools and vessels of exploration which were of local Turkish organisations and not of the foreign agencies. This helped it in making independent decisions.
With Biden’s victory, it is expected that it will ease regional pressure on Turkey. This is particularly after it tested its power and proved that it can act and alter balances. Now Turkey has grateful friends in Tripoli, Baku and Doha. It will further increase the number of its friends. With its role in Libyan crisis, Turkey weaved a relationship with Algeria and opened a channel of dialogue with Egypt. So far, it also successfully resolved its differences with Moscow, and even with Greece.
This proves that the political will and local capabilities help in finding opportunities to break away from the isolation and strengthen relationships with existing friends and further expand its circle of friends.

Fatwa against Brotherhood
Since the coup of July 2013, a fierce war on the Muslim Brotherhood is being waged. Despite all this, it is still an insurmountable obstacle against the attempts to dissolve the entire region into the “cesspool” of normalisation with the “historic enemy.”
The Muslim Brotherhood, despite the successive blows it is receiving and the enormous pressure it is subjected to, is a nightmare for the authoritarian regimes of the region which are apprehensive of their future.
Both the statements of the Council of Senior Scholars and the Macron campaign were sudden and unwarranted. The apprehensions in the Arab region and the frenzy in the European continent have surfaced together.
According to a study by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, the population of the entire European continent will decline by 50 million by 2050. On the contrary, there is a steady increase in the Muslim population, according to a study by the Pew Research Centre, published in January 2011. It is expected that the percentage of Muslims in Europe will increase from 6% in 2010 to 8% in 2030. Therefore, it was necessary for Europe to declare war against Islam, on the forefront of it is the Muslim Brotherhood, which is accused of being behind this active Islamic movement. It is a global campaign to douse the flame of the new awakening.
