The messages coming out of america/germany/france should be worrying for every eastern euro nation. Its almost like they are making backdoor deals with putin in the hope russia will side with them against China. Very foolish, Putin will take everything you are offering and wont go against China...

Also lets not fall for cheap soviet style propaganda. Russia is not a victim. It has the worlds largest landmass, her population is the largest in europe almost double that of Germany or Turkey. She has one of the most powerful militaries on earth and has the largest nuclear war head arsenal on...

Where Europe went wrong was being antagonistic towards Turkey. I remember when Turkey took down the Russian jet, the european narrative was "kick" Turkey out of NATO. Most europeans removed their air defence systems and incremental sanctions have been applied on Turkey by Europe. Then to make...

That's where the discrepancy rests, some sources claim they converted on mass to distinguish themselves from their christian, muslim neighbours other sources claim that only really the ruling classes converted. Either way its far too coincidental that jews trace themselves to eastern europe...

You don't understand Turkic history and culture. The ethnicity follows that of the father. What matters is the progenitor father. Turks conquered form east to west, the army would generally take locals as wives and then their children again would either take regional locals or take wives from...

Does mediating include going to war? So when he wants to bring Russia/Ukraine for discussions, is the plan to settle it via war? Or when he brought Israel and Syria together to mediate? or when they tried to mediate KRG/Baghdad which lead to KRG trying to declare independence? Or the PKK...

Can't name one place in the last 20 years where erdogan/AK party mediated and it brought any significant results.

Then its our duty to wake them up. Ataturk and the people around him faced things you and me wouldn't experience in a thousand years of life, yet they didn't give up.

Americans dont sell Turks weapons because they like us. They sell us weapons because its in their interests, the moment it isnt in their interests they restrict them. This shouldn't come as surprise, we are not dealing with Turks who think a deal is a deal, say no more. A deal to the USA is all...

The last attempted genocide by the greeks was against the Turkish Cypriots 63-74, fortunately Turkey had regained some power and was able to defeat the greeks irrespective of british/russian threats not to intervene. Just like in the recent Azeri war Turkey had gained enough power to play a...

deportations also happened to the armenians in the east who were doing the same in support of the russians. How the Ottomans ruled for so long and allowed these obvious dangers to exist is madness. The Turkish core and all strategic positions should have been filled with ethnic Turks. Regions...

Yep they did, two rights dont make a wrong. But the young Turks took over a rotting decaying empire. The Osmanli had hundreds of years to put things right.

religion is one those things were it makes wise men wiser and foolish men more stupid. Give religion to a moron and he turns into a bigger moron. Watch a wise man delve into religion and it will open his mind to perceive the world at a higher level. A fool has no comprehension skills and is...

The reality is the results. The Ottomans had been on a 200 year decline, there was nothing to suggest that the same Ottomans(Osman dynasty) were going to turn anything around. We became the sick man of europe for reason. Ironically under Islamist AK party we are now considered a middle eastern...

If that ever happened western Turkey would become just as unproductive as eastern Turkey lol.

nah he was a disaster, lost most of the empire. The sultans needed to go. For hundreds of years they had been failing the Turks. The fact the young Turks came in and reorganised the army to western standards was important but not enough in the end. It was for Ataturk to create a new state...

To be fair Britain's strength was always her navy and her politics. She was never really perceived as some fierce fighting machine. That's why the Turks at arguably their weakest point for the past 1000 years was still able to inflict a major defeat against united British/French invasion, while...

Isreal ever nuked Turkey, you can guarantee the next thing Turks will do is get nukes themselves and wipe Isreal off the map. Its not common sense for Isreal to go up against Turkey over a pipeline that offers a few billion in revenues over 50 years. Not to mention Isreal already does good...

I will say this though if Isreal wants to exist in a peaceful region as a valued member she has to create a Palestinian state. If she makes the mistake in completely annexing all the land as she is incrementally doing. She will not find peace in that region for the next 1000 years. There is no...

Its not a conspiracy theory, the Khazar jewish empire that the Turks created lasted as long as the Ottoman empire. When the Cuman Turks destroyed it many fled across eastern europe. Turkish tribes converted to Islam and for a thousand years became its prominent power, Turks converting to...
