Realignment In The Middle East – OpEd

0
0
Once upon a time Turkey and Israel were the greatest of friends. In March 1949 Turkey was the first Islamic nation to recognize the new state of Israel. Over the next fifty years, despite some ups and downs, the relationship flourished. In the Cold War Turkey was a key ally of the Western camp and in the 1990s, under the aegis of the United States, Israel and Turkey established bilateral defense, security and economic partnerships which burgeoned into strong social and cultural ties.

In the early years of the new millennium Turkey was welcoming some 500,000 Israeli tourists each year, while in May 2004, with Israel suffering a major water shortage, the two countries struck a unique deal under which Turkey undertook to ship to Israel some 50 million cubic meters of drinking water each year for the next 20 years. But by then Recep Tayyip Erdogan had become Turkey’s prime minister, and a sea change in Turco-Israeli relations was brewing.

Erdogan is a root-and-branch Muslim Brotherhood adherent, and has been since he first entered politics, but as regards Israel he was careful not to promote too radical an agenda too soon. For his first few years in office, Erdogan maintained the good relationship. In 2005 he undertook a formal visit to Israel, and in November 2007 Israel’s then- president Shimon Peres visited Ankara and addressed the Turkish parliament.

For a while security co-operation, including arms deals and joint air training exercises in Turkish airspace continued. There was talk of constructing an Israel-Turkey pipeline from the newly discovered reserves of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Israeli waters, to exploit the lucrative European markets. The turning point in bilateral relations came in 2009, with the first conflict between Israel and Hamas which had seized power in the Gaza strip. and had been firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel.

In the annual international gathering at Davos that year, Erdogan rounded on Shimon Peres, calling the Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip a “crime against humanity” and “barbaric” before stalking off the stage. Was this the first step in a planned exercise aimed at establishing Erdogan as the champion of the Sunni Islamic world? Was the disastrous Mavi Marmara affair that was to follow already in the planning stage?

In any event, the last day of May 2010 saw an encounter on the high seas between a Turkish flotilla of six vessels, nominally on a humanitarian mission to Gaza, and the Israeli military. During the encounter, nine of those on board the Mavi Marmara lost their lives. Erdogan manipulated the event into a rupture of Turkish-Israeli relations lasting six years, but the series of investigations that followed revealed a cynical anti-Israel plot long planned with the connivance of Turkey’s ruling AKP party and possibly of Erdogan himself, its leader.

Oddly, however, throughout the six long years of intensive negotiations that finally put the affair to rest, Israeli-Turkish trade grew by 19 percent, as against a growth of only 11 percent in Turkey’s overall foreign trade for the same period.

The spat was put to rest when Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, tendered an apology for the loss of Turkish life, and a financial settlement to the families of the deceased was agreed. Accordingly, on February 7, 2018 Turkey’s culture and tourism minister Nabi Avcı visited Israel, the first Turkish ministerial visit to Israel for seven years. Avcı used his visit to promote Israeli tourism to Turkey which, in the wake of the Mavi Marmara incident, had fallen to a mere 79,000 in 2011. It has subsequently picked up, year by year.

The project to ship drinking water from Turkey to Israel never really got off the ground. It was cancelled in 2006, but by then the concept had already been overtaken by Israel’s advances in water technology which have converted one of the world’s driest countries into the unlikeliest of water-rich nations. Israel is now seeking outlets for its surplus water.

Another Turco-Israeli project conceived during the golden years, the gas pipeline, is unlikely to come to fruition. Erdogan’s unremitting attacks on Israel, the latest occasioned by US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, make Turkey a less-than-attractive partner. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has turned instead to Turkey’s traditional foes – Greece and Cyprus – and is in the process of forging a strong tripartite alliance in the Eastern Mediterranean.

In December 2017 the leaders of the three countries signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a possible gas pipeline to run from Israel to Cyprus, then to Greece, and onward to Italy – a more expensive, if somewhat more congenial, alternative to the Israeli-Turkey idea of bringing Israel’s LNG to Europe.

However something far more significant than a gas deal is in the making, namely a new geopolitical entity in the eastern Mediterranean, a tripartite alliance that promises to bring both stability and the prospect of enormous technological, economic and environmental advances to the region. In an effort to put more flesh on the bones of their joint declaration issued in July 2017, Netanyahu, Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras, and Cypriot prime minister Nicos Anastasiades are scheduled to hold a summit in Nicosia in May, their fourth since 2016.

The three nations have already greatly strengthened their security and military collaboration by way of joint air, naval and ground force exercises. In their declaration the leaders agreed to strengthen collaboration in the manufacturing and commercial sectors, with an emphasis on technological and industrial research. They agreed to cooperate in electronic technology and telecommunications, especially earth remote sensing and communication satellites. They also agreed to encourage space technology and to support new cable interconnections by way of Fiber Optic Undersea Cable. They gave special prominence to protecting the environment, with special focus on protection of the marine environment, water and wastewater management, and adaptation to the impact of climate change.

In short, while continuing to foster economic ties with Turkey, Israel is forging a new partnership with Greece and Cyprus – a union with enormous potential for enhancing the prospects and life-chances of all who live in the eastern Mediterranean. Reported by Eurasia Review 2 hours ago.

Wine Spectator's Iconic "Copertine": Italy 1978-2018

0
0
On Saturday April 14th, 2018, 107 Italian wine producers gathered in Verona for “OperaWine, Finest Italian Wines: 100 Great Producers” to celebrate the quality and diversity of Italian wine along with its enduring bond with the United States, the largest market for Italian wines. Organised by Veronafiere and Vinitaly International in partnership with Wine Spectator, since 2012 OperaWine has been the opening act of Vinitaly as well as a showcase of the finest Italian wineries selected by the prestigious American publication.

(PRWEB) April 19, 2018

During the press conference preceding the Grand Tasting, Wine Spectator’s Senior Editors Bruce Sanderson and Alison Napjus introduced a retrospective of the magazine’s coverage on Italian wine through its iconic covers. The covers spanned four decades, from 1978 to 2018. In 1978, the magazine paid homage to Italy with a cover story on the Chianti region. Fast-forward forty years, Wine Spectator’s cover for its latest issue (dated April 30th) features a photograph of Sassicaia producers Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta and his daughter Priscilla. As Napjus comments, “We’ve seen a lot of changes in our Italian coverage since 1978; no doubt we’ll continue to see changes to Italy’s wines over time. One thing we do know for certain: Italian wine producers are talented, dedicated, and passionate. They respect tradition show concern for the environment, adopt innovations and never cease their efforts to improve their wine. We are very excited to be a witness to this ongoing evolution.”

Founded in 1976 in San Diego, Wine Spectator is the most read wine magazine in the world. With wine always at the center of attention, the publication has also grown to become a lifestyle guide for wine lovers. At the heart of the magazine are its critical reviews. Today, Wine Spectator reviews nearly 20,000 wines each year, all in blind tastings. Through these blind ratings the magazine selects the wineries that participate to OperaWine. The selection process has two goals: first, to testify to the extraordinary quality of Italian wines; second, to showcase the breadth of Italy’s wine regions, grapes, and styles. The editors’ main criteria are wine quality, regional leadership, and historical significance.

This year, OperaWine welcomed more than 2,000 guests from all over the world that enjoyed an afternoon of tasting in Verona’s historic Palazzo Gran Guardia. The tasting included producers representing all 20 Italian regions, bringing more than 60 Italian native grape varieties together in one single room. Along with several regulars, 13 new wineries made it through the selection for the first time. As Senior Editor Bruce Sanderson explained, “since the first edition of OperaWine in 2012, 170 different producers and wines have been selected.” The changing selection of producers demonstrates Wine Spectator’s commitment to keep the event fresh and reflects the vitality of the Italian wine industry.

On making it into the list for the first time, Fausto Maculan, owner of Maculan in Veneto, commented on his long-lasting acquaintance with Wine Spectator’s editor and publisher Marvin Schenken and on the winery’s participation to the magazine’s famous wine events in New York: “Having known Marvin Schenken for at least 25 years, and having participated to many New York Wine Experience events, I know the magazine very well and I can only be immensely and truly honoured to be here. The wine we presented at OperaWine is Acininobili, a sweet wine we produce with the Vespaiola grapes. To make it, we select only the grapes that have been affected by the Botrytis cinerea fungus. The result is this extraordinary, rich, elegant, exquisite, and unique wine!” On being one of the new entries too, Michele Faro, owner of the Pietradolce winery in Sicily, added: “For us it is a great responsibility to represent the Etna area. Our region is in fashion right now and is getting a lot of attention from the global market and also for the American market. At OperaWine 2018 we presented Vigna Barbagalli Etna Rosso, the cru we produce from our 100-year-old vines. This is a vineyard with a very low yield (only 1/1.5 kg for each plant) that, I must say, we cultivate more because of passion, than because of money. The US plays a major role in our exports and is always very keen to discover more about how wine is made around the world.”

An exclusive event dedicated to foreign press and professionals, OperaWine’s 2018 theme celebrated Italian wine’s strongest ally on the international markets, the United States. In addition to OperaWine’s American partner Wine Spectator, one of the special guests to the event was the Senior Director of Winemaking at E. & J. Gallo Winery, Gina Gallo, who spoke during the Press Conference and whose wines were served during OperaWine’s light lunch.

Italian Wine Producer Announces 6th Annual Campaign to Support the Arbor Day Foundation

ATLANTA (PRWEB) April 19, 2018

The Candoni De Zan family of wines is celebrating Arbor Day 2018 by once again giving back to the Arbor Day Foundation. During the month of April, every case of Candoni Organic Wine sold in the U.S. will result in the planting of a tree within the Mississippi River Valley.

“Arbor Day is just such a natural holiday for us to celebrate,” explains Armando De Zan, CEO of Candoni Wines, “because it relates so perfectly to our commitment to sustainability.” Employing a full time agronomist and utilizing a host of cutting-edge, earth-friendly cultivation techniques, Candoni is generally recognized as one of the most sustainable vineyards in Italy.

Candoni Organic Wines are some of the brand’s best-sellers, available in Pinot Grigio, Buongiorno Red Blend, and Merlot. “We firmly believe that good wines happen from the ground up, not just once the grapes make it to the cellar,” explains Barbara Candoni De Zan, owner and vice president.

This will mark the 6th year of partnership between the wine family and the Arbor Day Foundation, whose mission revolves around creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Replanting efforts from the foundation’s 2018 campaign will improve water quality and decrease pollution levels along the Mississippi River Valley, whose watershed touches 33 states.

“The Arbor Day Foundation’s mission exactly mirrors our own,” explains Barbara Candoni De Zan. “We are so happy for the opportunity to use our wine to give back to the environment in such a meaningful, tangible way.”

Candoni De Zan Wines is an Italian wine family based in the Veneto region of Italy. With distribution throughout the U.S., the family specializes in traditional Italian wines including Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose, Prosecco, and more. Candoni De Zan produces wine under the labels of Candoni, Carletto, and Polvaro Tenuta.
