TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

[Bozan]

Yes. At the same time as the measure against Israel, Turkey removed Iraq, Sudan, Mozambique and Congo from the list. The considerations in removing Iraq, Turkey's third biggest export market, is it is believed due to disagreements with Baghdad over military operations against the Kurds in Northern Iraq. In Sudan, Erdogan is looking to harm the government there. Turkey has also added countries to the export target list including Algeria, a close friend of Hamas.

Another rivalry is for regional control of goods. Turkey perceives itself as the regional "hub" in all areas, and therefore was outraged last September, when US President Joe Biden presented his proposal for a logistics corridor between Greece and India - through Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE - bypassing Turkey.

This led Ankara to re-promote a plan for its own transport corridor between Turkey and Iraq, from there to the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. However, since Turkey has now removed Iraq from the list of export targets, it seems that this plan will not be promoted soon.

Now Erdogan is modifying the route ? Apparently he talked about it with Barzani.

The way this is tweeted seems to be an attempt to indirectly make Iraq jealous, the way children do

Israel foreign minister directly attacks Erdogan, sharing a photo of Erdogan with Hamas official.

Unless the two countries are using each other for domestic politics, seems the relationship is going downhill to a point of no return.

Erdogan, who regularly massacres Kurds in Turkey and the region, accuses Israel of committing deliberate genocide in Gaza. Mr. Erdogan, @RTErdogan, we are not like you. We are fighting against your partners from Hamas, whom you hosted in Turkey and allowed them to carry out the massacres and murders. You'd better shut up and be ashamed!

This is the Foreign Policy section and the US Presidential elections are very relevant to the Turkish foreign policy.

These zionists have no shame.

Too bad Cemal Pasha did not hang them one by one. As Talaat Pasha was too close with zionists.

"NEW: Turkish President calls Greek Prime Minister to wish him happy birthday. Just a week after Mitsotakis called Erdoğan to wish him a happy birthday. Seems like the Friendship Declaration signed in December is functioning."

Same guy Erdogan said he didn't exist for him anymore and would never talk to again btw. Dear president have more mood swings than my ex. Gets me thinking, how much we lost over the last decade due to this...

To be fair, they're all like that. That guy was like "calming measures and friendship loading" and then 4 hours after KAAN flew, "ToRKiE nauTiCal MiLes In GrIk LakE 3nm YuO wIlL nEvEr DeFeaT HeLmanD's MaYOnAiSSe!!!11!!!"

It is said that 8 of the sentenced are Muslim Brotherhood leaders. I wonder how will this influence the recent Erdogan-Sisi peace process.

My money is on: it will be ignored. MB shouldn't play any role in any of our foreign policy.

I don't think it is about MB, I think it is more about SISI acting like a butcher with impunity. It is hard for decent democratic countries with integrity to put up with this kind of people.

But I get it, realpolitik says there is not much to do about it except to move along.

Armenia, despite Moscow’s stern warning, continues the “diversification game” in the military and security spheres. Greek Minister of National Defense Nikolaos Dendias visited Yerevan.
Dendias said that Greece sees itself as a country that will help Armenia as much as possible, taking into account historical ties, and also because these are very close countries. “We really want to do this,”
ANikolaos Dendias stated: “We have created a successful trilateral defense cooperation between Armenia, Greece and Cyprus. But there could be other trilateral or quadrilateral relations with France and India – with important countries, important powers, very powerful mutual friends of Armenia and Greece.”

The greeks have no intention of doing any fighting themselves as seen with armenia and libya recently, even the war in 1974 when greece itself collapsed. They are hoping that they will get their new allies who racially they despise to do the fighting for them. Remember these were the guys who begged Rome/Pope to start the crusades against the Turks. Its what they have always done, go round begging and hoping that others will fight their battles for them. In reality the outsiders just end up using them in their own geopolitical ambitions. But thats what they are, they won't change.

One thing that last ten years really reinforced for me, is that what really matters is having the balls and the power to fight. The rest is just piss in the wind, or games to trick yourself into a false sense of security.

As long as Russian troops are on Armenian soil there is no way to diversify. The westerners are fooling them, deceiving them. Hoping that yet again they overextend so that Armenia is annexed by Russia. An annexed Armenia by Russia is better for euro origin destabilsing games then an armenia at peace with Turkey/Azerbaijan.

We see this in Syria, where when push came to shove and the americans realised they couldnt stop us from moving into Syria/PKK positions, they instead handed those regions over to Russia, so they could still be used against us.

Armenian doesn't seem to produce any notable statesman, so i fully expect them to make the mistake of crossing that line. I just wish us Turks could use these regional fools the way the rest of the world does, instead of the world constantly using them against us. These people politically surrounding us are some of dumbest you will find in the world, how were not able to exploit that stupidity is absolute insanity.
