De week vier hoofdthema's:
- acties tegen DSEI
- Turkije en de wapenexportpolitiek van Duitsland. (De Russische leveringen van S400 raketten heb ik niet opgenomen)
- de geheime wapenleveranties van de VS aan Syrië, Irak en Afghanistan (Het speelt al wat langer. Eerder opgenomen onder het kopje Bulgarije.)
- 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)
