2. Turkije en de wapenexportpolitiek van Duitsland. (De Russische leveringen van S400 raketten heb ik niet opgenomen)
3. de geheime wapenleveranties van de VS aan Syrië, Irak en Afghanistan (Het speelt al wat langer. Eerder opgenomen onder het kopje Bulgarije.)
4. de resolutie van het Europese Parlement (zie voor de uiteindelijke tekst: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+TA+P8-TA-2017-0344+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language=EN)
