  • Supporting Fruit Fly Pest Prevention in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean
    September 2015 Supporting fruit fly pest prevention in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean The challenge… In parts of the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) causes major damage to fruit and vegetable production. The pest reduces fruit production and increases insecticide use, and has a direct impact on the production costs associated with agricultural commodities. Moreover, the recent emergence of exotic fruit fly species in North Africa and the Middle East poses a major threat to fruit and vegetable production in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean, since this region is put at risk by the invasive fruit fly species. The project… A regional European project was designed to increase awareness, cooperation and technical capabilities to prevent, detect and suppress established and exotic tephritid pest outbreaks. The sterile insect technique (SIT) facilitates the suppression of fruit fly populations by mass-rearing large numbers of males which, after being exposed to a short burst of radiation, are rendered sterile. When released into the wild, these sterilized males breed with females who, in turn, produce eggs that do not hatch. To overcome the fruit fly problem, the SIT is applied as part of an area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) approach, integrated with other Mediterranean fruit flies in mandarin fruit. control methods. Supported by the IAEA Peaceful Uses Initiative (PUI) and the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture, fruit flies, which emerged from about 700 million sterile pupae—were released in the Neretva Valley pilot SIT area. In addition, traps and attractants were procured for all participating Member States.

  • Turkey's New Moves in the Eastern Mediterranean
    Turkey’s New Moves in the Eastern Mediterranean by Dr. George N. Tzogopoulos BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,110, August 1, 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In July 2021, Israel expressed full support to the Republic of Cyprus in the wake of the unilateral reopening of the Varosha coastline by Turkey. Last year, it also showed solidarity with Athens during Greek-Turkish tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean. While the tripartite partnership is progressing, Ankara is seeking to expand its footprint in the region and is pursuing a two-state solution in Cyprus. It is also applying a new foreign policy methodology to Greece while remaining adamant in its demands. Turkey’s new policy vis-à-vis Cyprus, based on a two-state solution, is being heavily criticized by the international community. In a press statement, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed American support for a Cypriot-led comprehensive settlement to reunify the island as a bizonal, bicommunal federation. Also, the decision by Ankara to reopen the coastline of Varosha, a city on the eastern edge of the island that was abandoned after the 1974 military invasion, united the 15 members of the UN Security Council in condemnation. On July 23, the Security Council reaffirmed the status of Varosha as set out in previous resolutions, including 550 (1984) and 789 (1992). Israel is committed to strengthening its collaboration with both Greece and Cyprus. The July phone call between presidents Isaac Herzog and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan did not prevent Jerusalem from expressing deep concern about Turkish announcements regarding Cyprus. FM Yair Lapid hosted his counterparts Nikos Dendias on July 21 and Nikos Christodoulides on July 27.

  • Between Geopolitics and Geoeconomics: the Growing Role of Gulf States in the Eastern Mediterranean
    Between Geopolitics and Geoeconomics: The Growing Role of Gulf States © 2021 IAI in the Eastern Mediterranean by Adel Abdel Ghafar ABSTRACT The role played by countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the Eastern Mediterranean is becoming increasingly ISSN 2610-9603 | ISBN 978-88-9368-177-3 important. This calls for an assessment of their evolving relationship with countries in the region, as well as their involvement in the Libyan conflict. Increased involvement by Gulf actors may inflame existing regional rivalries and geopolitical tensions. The interests of GCC countries in the Eastern Mediterranean are first analysed in the broader context of regional rivalries. Special attention is then devoted to Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Greece and Cyprus, while considering the role of other key regional actors such as Turkey and Israel. Recommendations on why and how the new US administration should intervene to decrease regional tensions are provided.

In the short term, already commercially viable gas fields in the Exclusive Economic Zones of Israel and Cyprus will transform the economies of those states and promote their energy independence. These resources could also bolster Egypt and Jordan, where energy shortages could threaten the regimes. In the medium and long term, the energy resources of the eastern Mediterra- nean could help reduce Europe’s energy dependence on Russia to a degree. Perhaps the most intriguing prospect these resources present is the development of a structure for regional cooperation that promotes peace in this volatile region. Energy cooperation has already become the basis of unprecedented relations between Israel and Cyprus, and also between Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt. There are several indications that it could significantly contribute to the reunification of Cyprus, a lessening of Israeli-Arab tensions, and to better Greco-Turkish and Israeli-Turkish relations.

  • Identity of the Casuarina Sp. in Turkey Turkish Journal of Weed Science
    Turkish Journal of Weed Science 20(2):2019:159-168 Available at: https://dergipark.org.tr/tjws Turkish Journal of Weed Science © Turkish Weed Science Society Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article Identity of the Casuarina sp. in Turkey Ian T. RILEY1*, Leyla Nur KORKMAZ1 1Department of Plant Production and Technologies, Faculty of Agricultural Science and Technologies, Niğde Omer Halisdemir University, Niğde, Turkey. *Corresponding author's E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sheoaks (Casuarina sp.) are a common ornamental and amenity trees grown in provinces of Turkey along the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts. In the literature this species is identified as Casuarina equisetifolia L., however, recent field observations have brought this into doubt. Qualitative and quantitative characters for 14 specimens (7 female and 7 male) collected from Izmir, Dalaman, Adana and Ceyhan, indicated that the correct determination is Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq. This is a new record for Turkey for a species that is considered an invasive woody weed in up to 20 countries. However, as this species has been grown in Turkey of many decades and there is no evidence of naturalization, it is not considered to represent a potential threat and no immediate management action is considered necessary. Key Words: casual, Casuarina cunninghamiana, alien flora, identity, invasiveness, Turkey. INTRODUCTION A range of Australian trees are grown in Turkey, mostly Even observed from a distance, the sheoaks in as ornamentals, but also for forestry and agricultural uses Turkey are tall, stately trees more reminiscent of such as shelter belts.
