Our guests:
Alan Posener - is an Anglo-German author and regular commentator for the Berlin based newspaper “Die Welt”. He says: Some people would like to see civil war in Turkey – Kurdish and Islamic terrorists, possibly elements of the military. In this situation, the elected and legitimate government deserves support."
Malte Lehming - is head of the Op-Ed pages at the German daily the Tagesspiegel. He says: "Turkey - and it's ruling AKP party - is fighting four wars at the same time: against Isis, the PKK, the refugees and losing its majority in the elections on November 1st. Turkey, he believes, is increasingly vulnerable to regional turmoil and risks further destabilization."
