    CHINA’S AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND SOUTHEAST ASIA: TESTING COERCIVE NAVAL DIPLOMACY?

    Interesting piece. thanks for sharing. I think it's even more clear now that the smaller nations in the region needs to develop and settle on the islands. If necessary seek out some ME oil rich countries financial support on developing some of these islands. It will be too late if this is not...

    Joe Biden's Turkey Comments Are Bad News For U.S. Middle East Allies

    I truly do not think the US is going to go 180 degree on their view or politics in ME, nor about Turkey. For the past 20 years they've F*****d around so much and been working on trashing Turkey, so IMO they've lost an ally and it's only on paper. The Senate or the House is just as bad. The...

    The rise of the Turkish naval industry

    Well, we can't compromise on our national defense, which leaves strictly budget planning and managing of the country's public sector and spending, but if you add to that how we don't have transparency and accountability on the budget and spendings we're faced with a downward slope in the economy.

    Source and date please. As I remember it back in 2005-6 neither Baykar or Vestel had anything ready. You can see a video of Baykar under Akinci thread I posted. where they sum up their R&D contribution from beginning. Also do take into consideration when government started supporting Baykar and...

    That is your coloured view of Turkey. It's all about business and if you can deliver a product to the wanted quality the price is always right. You can call them greedy, but let's remember how long Koc and FNSS has been around and worked and delivered to TSK. They're around because they have...

    DS = Daily Sabah (Pro AKP newspaper) Yes, critical projects can be pushed through without proper tender process. There is room for this in the law. But the moment you use that particular piece of the law to make a majority of construction projects, which btw goes to pro AKP favourite friends...

    'G-B to be made province soon'

    Among all this lucidness that will be here for a quite a while, what matters is that you take that first step and then the others. The first step here would be to establish G-B as a province with all the rights, and once the province has that firmly grasped. They need to take the right steps...

    Indeed, I agree, even give death sentence if necessary. But in tenders and all internal economic dealings, nothing but 100% transparency and accountability is acceptable. This of course doesn't include our spendings for TSK. As a TC citizen I demand to know how CHP can take over the rudder of...

    I stand by TC, and all national interests, transparency and accountability. These can only exist when you have free unbiased press and right to assembly and a strong Bar. "Adalet Mülkün Temelidir"

    Casual Discussion Where will you go after lockdowns are over and flight tickets don't cost an organ? I am putting in my top 5 that I have visited before.

    Turkey I have visited some european and asian countries, but in these times, I'd rather spend my money in Turkey. Also there are so many places in Turkey I haven't seen yet.

    'G-B to be made province soon'

    I also think this move has been neglected for too long. If we assume that the entire region had been recognized as provinces (GB, Kashmir, Jammu, Ladakh etc.) perhaps the division between India and Pakistan could have been prevented. By this I mean having so many soldiers in that region. Such...

    https://www.dailysabah.com/politics/us-does-not-consider-seville-map-to-have-any-legal-significance-embassy-says/news I think we should be careful when the US and EU starts to discredit the Seville map. I think they are up to something, why else would the US push Egypt to sign a deal with...

    China, Indonesia sea dispute hot and getting hotter

    Yes, but I believe that it is necessary for Philippines to have a base there seeing as they are pretty close and have won an arbitrage against China's claim. Also I've read recently that the US is going to revive their maintenance harbour in Philippines. They do have some ppl living on some of...
