I am not sure if this will be a good result for Turkiye and Turks in Europe. The rise of the far right in Europe is not good for Turkiye and especially Turks in Europe. So far the situation is not very promising

Exactly, celebrating Macron's loss is not very wise at this stage.

I believe France going populist would be a net benefit to Turkey. Not because they will cease to be hostile, but because they will cease to be a power. Entire European continent has a huge demographic problem, UK left the union and Germany is rapidly deindustrializing. I don't see the problem solving capability in French institutions to solve or even endure these issues. Especially if (and when) they undergo a hostile takeover by the populists.

Whats interesting Marine Lepens father was actually technically friends with Necmettin Erbakan lmao.

I think they kept in contact with each other which was pretty unusual.

When the Far Right and the Islamists hate each other but tend to agree with issues like Religion and Conservative values.

You need more then 32% to rule in France,so who is going to help them rule?
Example:the Netherlands
The PVV(far right) won with 37% but cant ''rule'',together with 3 more parties they ''formed'' a government.
Lets see how long it lasts(never long).

It is unusual and at the same time not so much
Both of them knew who was the real enemy.
I don't think that Jean Marie likes his daughter very much.
You see , the last, at least semi official Crusade, was by Francisco Franco.
Basically he and Cardinal of Spain announced it. It was primarily against the Atheists etc
80000 Moroccans took part in that fight. Majority as volunteers. They were the best payed units in the patriotic army. They were well respected.
Now , take a look at this fake right wing.
Wilders is dying his hair.
Fascism is noble ideology.

At least one good news from today. Turkey is working on creating a deal between Somalia and Ethiopia.

Good kind of diplomacy, but

Is there any feasible alternative for Ethiopia through Somali central government controlled lands to get see access?

We had such a problem with Iran 4 years ago.
When we returned to the occupied regions and placed our customs on the only road between Iran and Armenia, they were offended: “How can this be? We’ve been walking here freely for 30 years!”
They have been traveling illegally through our territory for 30 years and... have already gotten used to it.
Tehran decided to scare us, brought its troops to the border and began military exercises.
But it's all in vain.

There is always an alternative.
1. War.
2. Good neighborly attitude.

Why we have to please the Communist Han Chinese?

Their Brainwashing and oppress on Uyghur Turks continued and became more successful.

IDK how much time we have before everything become too late.

Erdogan expects positive and intensive development of relations with Iran after the presidential elections there and the victory of Masoud Pezeshkian.
Erdogan: “Masud Pezeshkian is actually a Turk of Azerbaijani origin. In Tabriz he speaks Turkic, but when he comes to the Kurdish regions, he can speak Kurdish there. He also uses Farsi well. I will contact him and congratulate him. We hope that relations between Turkey and Iran will improve in the future."

Pezeshkian's predecessor, the late Raisi, never found time to go to Turkey, despite the invitation and promise to come.

Over the course of several days, I read many articles from different sources. It is surprising that here, in Britain, in America and even in Russia, no one expects anything... new from the new president. Everyone is unanimous that he will not be able to change this stupid system in Iran. Moreover, the country's foreign policy.
You can easily die of sadness
Especially after the goals conceded yesterday

Iran having a reformist president is still a good start and the fact that he is an Azerbaijani Turk makes it even better. I don't want to be the pessimistic guy here, but if he starts moving Iran towards the right direction then it will be a miracle if his helicopter fly without "malfunctions" long enough. I want to remind that Iran's presidential security is taken by a special unit of the IRGC and this speaks a lot by itself. Still I am hopeful...

 

[B_A]

İsn't Ali Khamenei also a Turk?

 

[Iskander]

Ali Khamenei has been a Turk for 85 years. But this is of no use to us.
Let's see how Pezeshkian will be.

Pezeshkian, in a response letter to the head of Hezbollah, noted that Tehran will not change its policy regarding the “resistance movement in the region.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported the resistance of the peoples of the region to the illegal Zionist regime. Support for the resistance is rooted in the fundamental policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the ideals of the late Imam Khomeini and the directives of the Supreme Leader and will continue unabated,” writes Pezishkian.

In his letter, he has not yet begun to call the United States Big Sheitan...

The day after the elections, Armenian journalists, in fear, asked the Iranian ambassador in Yerevan a question.
Ambassador: - Iranian foreign policy will not change with the change of president.

By the way, where did Little Sheitan go? After all, that’s what the Soviet Union was called in Tehran.
Oh yes, Iran began to be friends with Russia, that is, with the former Little Sheitan, against the Big Sheitan
God works in mysterious ways


It was just reported: -Head of the Armenian Ministry of Defense Suren Papikyan and Iranian Ambassador to Yerevan Mehdi Sobhani discussed cooperation in the field of defense.

“During the meeting, issues related to Armenian-Iranian cooperation in the field of defense, as well as regional security, were discussed,” says a statement from the Ministry of Defense Armenia

We can't expect a 180 degrees change in Iran's policies on these issues. It's still too early to conclude on how his performance will be.

By the way we may see a new rift between Iran and Russia in Syria. While I don't think it will play a critical role in their relationship, I think it may have effect on some events of which the results will be mostly localized to Syria and maybe Iraq.

Currently a reformist president will be of very good use for both us and the whole world actually. And by saying this I put aside the Turkish ambition in the region, but I say it in a broader way. Of course many Iranians will be furious at what I am going to say, but I think the IR is the worst thing that could've happened to Iran and its people. With a reformist president we may see at least some level of normalization and new ways for cooperation between Iran and Turkiye on a regional level especially after the latest f*ck ups with PKK and Armenia.

I am far from the thoughts that the president will sort all the issues, but still we may see at least a temporary effect in some open cases. All what is happening are the symptoms of the real problem which is called the "Islamic Revolution" and the only real way to sort out this problem is a counter-revolution of sorts, but in order for this to happen the Iranian people must want it first. Many of the younger generation Iranians are aware of the trouble the IR got them in with the lack of opportunities and bad living conditions. I think we will witness a change and it is a matter of time.

I think Iranians are freedom loving people down there, but couldn't realize how they should obtain these freedoms. With the Iranian internal events in the last 5 years I think the youth is slowly, but surely awakening. Until the needed change comes we are obliged to contain the IR expansion and do the necessary to defend our national interests. We shouldn't drop our guard even if Jesus Christ himself becomes the president of Iran

Do you seriously think the Mullahs would allow someone to run and win that would change anything for the positive with Turkey?
