The Turkish High Readiness Level Naval Task Force (
TURMARFOR ), which started its work on 6 July 2018 , is planned to reach full operational capability by the beginning of 2022.
TCG ANADOLU WILL BE NATO's CONTROL SHIP
In this context, it is aimed to make the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship
TCG Anadolu , the first ship of the Turkish Armed Forces to transfer power , a command and control ship for
NATO's High Readiness Naval Force.
In the NATO long-term commitment plan, the naval element commander in 2023 and 2028, the amphibious task force commander in 2025, and the landing force commander were assigned to Turkey.
The ruling press announced the development in question to its readers with the headline 'Deterrence will increase in the
Blue Homeland '. In the news in the Sabah newspaper, 'Turkey is preparing for strategic missions within the framework of NATO with its strong naval power. Turkey, one of NATO's most valuable allies for 69 years, will also fulfill NATO's naval element command in 2023 and 2028 with TURMARFOR. expressions were used.
In line with the government's demands, Admiral Cem Gürdeniz evaluated Veryans' Tv's goal of making TCG Anadolu a command and control ship for NATO.
'THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED IN Scenarios of Proxying Turkish Marines'
Emphasizing that TURMARFOR should be used in line with Turkey's national interests, Gürdeniz said, “TURMARFOR should serve world peace and stability. Ankara should read the new geopolitical environment well. The traditional and stereotypical NATO-oriented perspective of the foreign ministry must be balanced with the vital new geopolitical reality Turkey is facing. The world has evolved into a multipolar era. Turkey is a pivotal country in a regional power position with its capacity. We need to be aware of this power. Turkish sailors should not be a tool for the scenarios of the receding American naval power at sea to serve as a proxy force under the umbrella of NATO.” said.
'THE DECISION TO BE COMMITTED TO NATO SHOULD BE REVIEWED'
Emphasizing that TCG Anadolu is “a great ship that the Republic Navy has dreamed of for 100 years,” Gürdeniz said, “The decision to place such an important and prestigious platform under the command of NATO in a year like 2023, which is unique in our history, should be reviewed. The Republic Navy should not celebrate the ownership of a big ship that it has dreamed of for 100 years by dedicating it to NATO. As some thinkers claim, Turkey cannot escape from its strategic isolation by allocating this platform to NATO. As long as Turkey defends its geopolitical interests, it should risk being alone. The cost of forming alliances with undermining states is high. Creating a policy knowing this cannot be explained by reason.” he said.
Emphasizing the importance of TURMARFOR)'s full operational capability for Turkey, Admiral Cem Gürdeniz talked about NATO's 'Turkey' policy:
“The news that the HRF (M) High Readiness Level Naval Force (TURMARFOR) will reach full operational capability by the beginning of 2022 took place in the media. First of all, I congratulate our navy by saying that this capability is only available in the USA, England, France, Italy and Spain among NATO countries. Without the TCG Anadolu, the amphibious assault ship, we would not have had this capability.
FROM DOKLU DETECTION SHIP TO AMPHIBIAN ATTACK SHIP
That's why I congratulate everyone who contributed to this project, which started as an LPD (Downloading Ship with Dock) project and later turned into an Amphibious Assault Ship by the command structure, most of which was liquidated due to conspiracy lawsuits. The Republic Navy, with its qualified personnel, will use this ship in the best way in every environment, and even more effectively and perfectly than many NATO countries.
'TURKEY IS DRAWN TO SERIOUS TRAPS'
Our wish is that this ship will be used primarily for our national interests in line with Turkey's geopolitical interests. NATO's open attitude towards Turkey's geopolitical interests is known. As a NATO member in the past, Turkey has been drawn into serious traps, especially the Rogers Plan, and has suffered great losses. He took part in the NATO Joint Task Force in 2011 and played a role in the dissolution of Libya and the start of the civil war. His record in the July 15 FETO coup attempt and in the days that followed is beyond disgrace.
The statements of the NATO Secretary General regarding our S-400 air defense system procurement are well known. In the eastern Mediterranean crisis in the summer of 2020, NATO took a completely pro-Greek stance. It has not been forgotten that NATO remained silent when our NATO ally Germany exited with piracy to a Turkish merchant ship in the open sea. NATO remained silent on the military alliance agreement between our so-called allies, the USA and France, with Greece against Turkey. In short, the view of NATO and the main NATO members towards Turkey is clear. The puppet Kurdish state in our south; the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Cyprus; Saying yes to the Map of Seville in the Mediterranean and Aegean; They want to create an atmosphere of uninterrupted provocation against Russia in the Black Sea and to dilute Montreux. Turkey only responds to NATO's malicious view of itself and fait accomplis with veto power. “
