Erdoğan’s Delicate Visit to Brussels
Posted by: Marc Pierini Tuesday, September 29, 2015

The trip occurs in the midst of a major international crisis, as Russia is getting in on the act in Syria and asylum seekers continue to surge toward Europe. The visit also comes at a very troubled time in Turkey, where on November 1 a parliamentary election will be held amid a spiral of violence and a sharp deterioration of the rule of law.
