so, he is expected to change his clothes to perform prayers? we accept him with open hands but we do not have navy, could you send some land and air officers :)
I wish that in matters like this and this is one of the most important amd strategic issues for Turkey, could be avoided standard polarization as modus operandi in turkish politic..., admirals should knew better regardless of current goverment.
Man,would you blame them for little bit paranoic responce after 2016? Never the less it does not change the fact of recklessness and lack of insight from officers. This lame exuses about freedom of expressions are lame.
I never said that they can not, i said that their stance has certain specific weight and measurment for possible consequences, i am sure those officers were aware of it. Mine dose not, false equivalence.
And every citizen can not avoid scrutiny from the state, you know very well that those retired navy perosnal are not ordinary citizens and that their joint opinion has specific weight but you are disregarding that willingfully because hate towards current goverment, lets not play naive.
doubt that, community here is trying to be persuaded like erdogan put the gun on each of the admirals amd forced them to write stupid letter or similar.
Today machinery is much more developed and such projects are easier to built, despite sacrificies you mentiined both canals are lifeblood veins for those countries.
I am not naive, aware of possible repercutions but somewhere chains of submission which were put on you should be broken, my countrymen also gave lives in ww1 as volunteers and mujahirs, either you will be fully sovereign country or not, there not much else to do.
