Look I really dont want to be mean or disrespectful and I like your spirit but come on.

No EU funds for future pipelines will make the Southern Cypriots discoveries less feasible or at least but another nail in the coffin of their planned pipeline.

So how large is the energy-saving opportunity in Turkey? A recent study by the SHURA Energy Transition Center shows there is an additional 10% cost-effective electricity saving potential across the economy, compared to a baseline that follows the Turkish government’s demand projections for 2030...

I think the markets reaction says it all, hardly any. Lira even gained 1% vs. Dollar yesterday. This will not be a big pain in the ass, its a political statement and a way to force the government to engage or engage more with the US. If you look at all the fancy wording you can see many...

As always with any bad thing, stopping people from doing it is not going to work. Make it legal, control it and tax it. Whether its drugs, prostitution or gambling.

Russia is ofcourse always interested in widening the rift between Turkey and the US. I think these sanctions, if Biden doesnt make things worse, are not that bad and hopefully only temporary. But let's use it to our leverage and get less dependent on US material.

Its late to the party, but a Turkish Covid19 vaccine is in phase two of trials and might be available by April 2021. https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/phase-1-trials-of-local-vaccine-completed-160846

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development funds these kind of projects.

Casinos are arguably bad because betting is an addiction, but thousands of Turks go to Georgia every year go gamble. Legalizing it would keep the money in Turkey. Also there were numerous reports last year that companies were lobbying to open up an island in the Marmara area for gambling...

T70 not part of the sanctions? Only future projects are included and ongoing ones wont be affected. I think the way it was written the current ongoing projects wont be affected at all. But what about spare parts for F16 for example? How long will these sanctions be in place?

I'd rather see Azerbaijan take a stake in BMC, TR Motor or any other enterprise. That way they would not just be customers.

I hope that in longterm those Metrobusses can be upgraded to Trams.

In the region where my family is from (Manisa) there are a lot of cooperatives that own machinery that you can use/rent even for smaller farmers that do not have the funds. I like the idea of cooperatives because together they are stronger, but we need more technology in farming. Productivity...

As a side note maybe: German Hensoldt is now a public traded company and Germany took a stategic blocking minority in the company, in order to protect it from foreign takeovers. I wonder how their products compare to the Turkish equivalents...

I know a lot of you will disagree, but I hope we can cooperate with the Americans in Libya with the new government in Washington the priority of countering Russia will be higher again.

Agree with Saithan, sanctions didnt even make the news in Germany. Dont let our filter bubble mislead us. There were more reports and time on TV today about Covid19, the new climate goals of the EU or even Brexit (still).

We still have not announced any zero emission goals and the EU Green Deal is the perfect timing to do so and join the drive. 1. It will influence our exports, they will start taxing carbon. 2. its cheap funding for green projects from the EU, afaik Vakif Bank already took a 700m € syndicated...

Wow that missile is a beast.
