ANAKARA: A new poll showed a hostile picture among Turks to the integration of Syrian refugee population in the country. The survey, entitled “Dimensions of Polarization in Turkey 2020,” was conducted by Istanbul Bilgi University in cooperation with German Marshall Fund of the United States through face-to-face interviews across 29 cities with a representative sample of 4,000 people from Turkey’s adult population. It found that 86 percent of respondents want the 4 million Syrian refugees living in Turkey to go back home, a question that has become a common denominator across almost all political parties. More than 3.6 million refugees fled to Turkey following the civil war in Syria in 2011, but the Syrian community in Turkey has been the target of several violent attacks and murders over recent years.

The announcement this month of a replacement for the flagship Charles de Gaulle cements France’s position as the foremost U.S. strategic ally in the European Union following Britain’s exit. Mr. Macron is also ramping up French military spending and is exhorting neighbors to bolster their armies rather than relying too heavily on the U.S.

Guido Goldman held several titles over the decades, but he preferred to think of himself as a sort of academic entrepreneur, an âinstitution builder.â
He played a key role in establishing the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and though officially he was a longtime senior lecturer in government at Harvard, in the 1960s he also launched and directed the German Research Program, which evolved into what is now the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies.
