Optimism voiced in #TheBodrumRT debate that goodwill generated by Brunson release has increased the possibility that there will be exemptions for Turkey from second round of US sanctions against Iran coming up in 3 weeks.

Some background data for our #TheBodrumRT debate on 🇮🇷🇹🇷 and why a global crisis with Iran would be very bad news for Turkey:
— Eduard Soler Lecha (@solerlecha) October 14, 2018
· 499 km of border
· 10,75 billion $ trade
· 1st oil supplier, 2nd for natural gas
. 1st nationality of foreign visitors in the first half of 2018
Way forward for Turkey-EU relations requires both more EU anchoring of Turkey with accession perspective&further reform&alignment by Turkey. Can it be done? Yes we can do it with vision, leadership, strategic thinking¬ falling into populism trap. It is a 3-win goal. @EdamOrg pic.twitter.com/esfrxPWmUh

View from #TheBodrumRT that Israel engages Russia more than US on most Iran-related issues because US has no coherent Iran strategy, US judgment of what is viable is weaker, and US is less predictable in terms of sticking to commitments.

Even Iran is a transactional issue for Mr Trump ... regime change is a know unknown wish with potential risky outcomes ... don’t rule out an agreement ... critical and insightful discussion at #TheBodrumRT pic.twitter.com/JfW9NJq4dj

Excellent panel on how to deal with raising trade protectionism concludes interesting and inspiring day #TheBodrumRT. Trump trade wars are already damaging. EU approach is bringing results. China is the threat not EU. US and EU should join forces for a ruled based global trade. pic.twitter.com/ZYoNu29KEe

· The atmospheric conditions have improved
· But accession negotiations won't be revitalized any time soon
· Still a lot of frustration and blame-game
· Need to maximize converge and mitigate conflict#TheBodrumRT

Many of the security challenge of Europe originate in the broad post-Ottoman space from Bihac to Basra, and here we need a deeper strategic understanding with Turkey, along also with other actors. #TheBodrumRT

When it looks as its security challenges today and tomorrow, Turkey sees the US less as a partner and more as a problem. #TheBodrumRT pic.twitter.com/HInYbbWuAT

Could Turkey join #PESCO? Yes, No, maybe so.

Not at the political level, but possibly on individual projects? #TheBodrumRT
A participant at @#TheBodrumRT: US is mistakenly focusing on MBS as the lynchpin of its M East policy, while downplaying its relationship with Turkey. US not doing enough to encourage democracy in Turkey and develop a vision for what US & Turkey can do together. @CER_EU

Great kick-off #TheBodrumRT on #AI & World Order w @MarietjeSchaake @ussal : 1) size matters in #AI race - winner (China, US) could take it all; 2) EU value-based approach limits #AI competitiveness but regulation can be incentive; 3) AI weaponised against demos but tech solution pic.twitter.com/IMiyfZmCis
