I'm talking about absolutely critical key projects where a delay could cause significant problems for Turkey, such as the Siemens turbines for the nuclear power plants in Akkuyu for example.
The 60 million represents trade volume; you can’t impose sanctions on it or block it. You can reduce it, but from Germany’s perspective, that would be shooting yourself in the foot.
We also have trade volumes with Greece, France, and Israel—sometimes higher, sometimes lower—but that’s purely economic, not strategic.
The German submarines are the last of their kind; in the future, we’ll be building our own through Project MILDEN.
As far as I know—and I say this with great caution—the Germans are gradually being phased out of the energy sector. The focus is being broadened to include China and other countries. Orders that have already been completed are fulfilled, but no new ones are coming in. And it also imports renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and the like from other European countries, as well as China, Japan, and South Korea.
Once again, I'm talking about key projects in key sectors. Where dependencies can arise.
For example, there are no tenders for rail networks or trains in Germany. We manage the trains and the rail network domestically—likely with Chinese support—but the contract remains largely domestic,Correct me if I'm wrong.
Believe me or not… Strategic projects with Germany will soon be significantly reduced.
