The events that took place in Charlottesville last week increase the polarization and potential conflicts among society, deeply damaging the global image of the U.S.

The latest terrorist attack in Barcelona at the popular Las Ramblas tourist attraction, known from George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia," killed 13 people and constitutes the most recent unfortunate incident in this context

The fight against Daesh terrorism should focus on the stabilization of Syria as well as how to stop Daesh elements in different countries from organizing deadly attacks around the World

The Trump administration seems to be taking some initiatives now that the deadline has passed in the Gulf crisis

Turkey, as the only regional power with a strong state and democracy, is being lured into the Gulf crisis, but it is working to avoid the trap

Upon seeing that Turkey was at peace with Islam and intent on repairing the state's relationship with religion, EU leaders became critical of Turks and adopted an openly anti-Turkish, anti-Erdoğan tone

With the first anniversary of last summer's coup attempt – one of the most significant events in the history of Turkey's multi-party democracy – around the corner, all parties must act with due care and vigilance. Both security forces and protesters need to act responsibly

Turkey does not rightfully believe the U.S.'s empty promises and is determined to continue its fight against terrorist groups in Syria

The Gulf clearly wants to fuel polarization between Sunnis and Shiites in the region to contain Iran and, believing Turkey's partnership with Qatar to be an obstacle before their agenda, wants to sever Doha's ties with Ankara

The U.S. administration should already know that not having a strategy is not the best way to go and inaction is not the least risky approach to the conflict. There are too many variables and too many actors involved in this conflict

Turkey's stabilizing role as a functioning democracy and strong market economy will be in higher demand in the coming months

At such a period of time, more constructive policies that will not lead to another conflict in the Gulf and the Middle East are needed

Gulf nations must realize the danger of their current policies in the region and do something about it

Although diplomatic attempts may resolve the conflict at the political level, at the public level, it will be harder to fix the damage if these countries continue to blockade Qatar, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

Trump does not seem to face much difficulty in finding allies in the Middle East who associate their national interests with perpetual tension and instability

The recent developments in international politics show us that the U.S. seems to have already lost its superpower statue

The current crisis is a prelude to Qatar's disciplining, the deeper polarization between Iran and the Gulf and the undermining of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas
