Apart from seeking support from U.S. president Obama, Hollande is also calling on Russian president Putin to gear its military operations […]
Ze deden afgelopen jaren goede zaken, maar na het neerhalen van de Russische straaljager staan Rusland en Turkije lijnrech tegenover elkaar. Met mogelijk grote economische gevolgen. Moskou heeft de Turkse toeristische sector al aangepakt, is het dichtdraaien van de gaskraan de volgende stap? BNR Nieuwsradio interviewde Sijbren de Jong. Het gehele item is hier terug […]
