CHP tears itself in two, Γzel ponders a new party;
Stay till the end, he says, and take it back, hearty;
But should the courts not bend, he's got a backup plan:
110 MPs, and himself as the new man.
The Kurdish file waits for its framework law,
DEM keeps asking; but no one has yet seen a draw.
Ahbap's still unraveling, an NGO amid probe,
Haluk Levent stays silent while lenders mope.
NATO's afterglow still lingers in every corner,
Hopefully the S-400s may soon find a new owner.
Update: all the gifts outside diplomatic norm
Only Trump went home with a golden gun of his own.
Then came Cyprus, right on NATO's heel;
The EP signed a resolution Ankara refuses to kneel.
'Slander,' booms Ankara, 'null and void, and untrue,'
While the EU's new Cyprus envoy may feel the heat, too.
Fidan, meanwhile, is a man of two speeds,
CAATSA 'soon,' F-35 'soon,' still Ankara pleads.
Then he boards a train bound for Kyiv,
Cracking jokes with reporters, giving youth tips to believe.
And finally, the Bastille Day reception saw quite a sight:
Dumont and Van de Velde, dueling Erik DalΔ± outright,
A friendly challenge born online, now staged for real,
Proof that diplomacy can take a joke and dance a reel.
