How can we remedy the situation of European #solidarity? "Let's engage the youth in #Turkey, and think of it in a long-term perspective: many of these challenges concern not just the EU27 but also neighbouring countries"

"Geopolitical rivalries reflect public opinion, with a rise of anti-Western discourse in Turkey. BUT there is still ground for local-level acts of #solidarity between Turkish and European citizens"

- @SenemAydnDzgit, @ipc_ipm

"There has been a very brief instance of #Solidarity between the EU and Turkey in the early days of #COVID19: Turkey was sending masks, test kits, sanitary equipment, and more as part of strategic aid diplomacy"

- @SenemAydnDzgit, @ipc_ipm

"We did have a de-escalation regarding the conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean in the summer, but this tension looms on the horizon still. In this context of geopolitical anxiety, there is very little scope for EU-Turkey #Solidarity"

- @SenemAydnDzgit, @ipc_ipm
