Médecins Sans Frontières believes giving GPS coordinates of its facilities to Assad and Russian forces increases chance of direct targeting
Hospitals in opposition-held parts of Syria are refusing to share GPS coordinates with Russian and Syrian authorities because of repeated attacks on medical facilities and workers, Médecins Sans Frontières and humanitarian workers on the ground have said.
International charity MSF said it took the decision not to formally inform Syria’s government or its Russian allies about the location of some medical facilities, such as the one hit by a deadly airstrike this week, amid concerns that doing so could make them targets.

The Guardian view on Turkey’s Kurdish policies: compounding the region’s troubles | Editorial 

1 Share
This week’s bombings in Turkey show that the country must radically realign its policies around the pursuit of peace with its own Kurds
Turkey’s misguided policies have been taking that pivotal country in the wrong direction for several years. Now the errors and contradictions apparent in its domestic politics are becoming a major international problem, threatening to widen the conflict wracking the region in which until recently it was a force for stability and sanity.
The fighting in south-eastern Turkey between the Turkish state and the Kurdistan Workers’ party, or PKK, is getting worse, and it is merging with the increasingly hot war between Turkey and the Kurds of northern Syria. While responsibility for bombings is hard to assign with certainty, it looks as if it is now reaching out to threaten Turkey’s capital, Ankara, in the shape of attacks like the one earlier this week which killed 28 soldiers and civilians in the centre of the city. The shelling of Kurdish positions in Syria and Kurdish return fire into Turkey is of a piece with the violence in the south-east, with fierce security sweeps there countered by ambushes and bombings.

Спасет ли Орбан Путина?

From: SvobodaRadio
Duration: 53:52

В Москве прошли традиционная ежегодная встреча президента России Владимира Путина и премьер-министра Венгрии Виктора Орбана. По итогам переговоров в Ново-Огарево, правительственная "Российская газета" отметила, что Путин, прежде всего, высоко оценил убежденность собеседника в бессмысленности антироссийских санкций. Орбан же, по мнению газеты, ясно дал понять, что очередного автоматического продления санкций против России не будет.
Что стоит за этим многолетним путинско-орбановским флиртом, каковы возможности венгерского лидера подорвать единство Европы в отношении агрессивного внешнеполитического курса России - обсуждают обозреватель венгерской газеты "Непсабадшаг" Габор Хорват (Будапешт), доктор политических наук Юлий Нисневич, заместитель главного редактора сайта Carnegie.ru Максим Саморуков.
