If anything Putin is proving everyone around that NATO is the past, the present and the future. We will see more cooperation and defense expenditure now.

Thats one of the reasons, gas and tourist being the other why Turkey wont impose any sanctions.

Hurt them and their asses is the least they can do. No Technology or currency in the country. Putin is out of his mind.

I cant believe they really did it, they are attacking to conquer. I sure hope that Russia will be sanctioned hard. Best of luck to the Ukrainian people.

I dont give a shit about Cem Özdemir or his party, but the last couple posts made me do some research. I will quote some official statements he made regarding the PKK: Here he was asked why he's against the PKK and taking the Turkish "nationalist line" on the PKK? That is only and excerpt...

Azerbaijan needs the goodwill of Russia, its simply pragmatic to keep them happy and not overly in favour of Armenia. Armenia is a Russian proxy / client state at worst and at least a CTSO member at best. And cooperation with Turkey wont change the fact that Russia is the dinosaur sitting across...

That actually sounds promising if they are sincere. The EastMed pipeline is dead, EU countries have been way more rational then the western media made us believe and its clear that the EU is not as one-sided as S. Cyprus, Greece and France wanted us to believe. If we play our cards right...

Not voting would be the biggest mistake. You are privileged to live in a democracy, we all are, and you should always act accordingly.

You're being polemic, but whats wrong with lets say an Azerbaijani buying 20% of the company and investing fresh money to expand production and r&d of new products? As long as the IP and the majority of the voting rights remain under Turkish control, I dont see any issue.

This is going to be the first time I agree with Zafer, but if new money is invested and enables new products and expansion in exchance for a minor stake, I dont see how thats bad. It of course depends on the company/country investing. Baykar right now is bootstrapped and has been doing good...

I dont care which party you're from, but if you're 70 something, you are to old to be the president of a country as young as Turkey. We already have a president struggling with his health, dont need another. We need young blood.

No personal attacks. Stay on topic.

FYI regarding IDAS and ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems: Thyssenkrupp wants to sell the Marine Systems branch and is looking for potential buyers. (Link in German) https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Thyssenkrupp-will-sich-von-Marine-Sparte-trennen,thyssenkrupp164.html

How are they going to place nuke ready F35s in Incirlik with the S400 issue going on?

The last thing the world need right now is a war. I don't know what Putin tries to gain, I hope that AKs are distributed to every citizen in Ukraine. Little hope that Ukraine will survive a full-blown war against Russia, but at least make it expensive for them.

@Khagan1923 lots of people saying similar things, that Kilicdaroglu is taking the hit from AKP media and that another candidate will be unveiled closer to the elections. Idea is to give the AKP media less time for their smear campaigns.

When you post a report like this, do you consider the source of those claims? Or the fact that ISIS was and is fought directly by Turkey? Do you forget that ISIS has staged multiple attacks in Turkey? Why on earth would be sheltering ISIS? Turkey does not control Idlib. Even HTS that is...

Still hope that Kilicdaroglu moves aside and that someone competent will take the lead. Dumbass has wasted enough time and elections.

This is the source btw: https://www.crisisgroup.org/content/turkeys-pkk-conflict-visual-explainer The statistics are a bit morbid, like kill ratios, but the general trend is good. Most of the conflict is now contained to a couple regions and mostly in Iraq. Civilian casualties are down, Turkish...

In my personal opinion, he said nothing that warrants a ban or a warning. A couple of posts have been deleted, where I thought it went too far, for full transparency. But we as a Forum allow people to oppose Turkey for example, as long as they follow the rules. It was just a matter of some...
