This talk round is utter nonsense. When I found out that three out of the four hadn’t even held the rank of major or higher, let alone ever seen a strategic document, that was enough for me. And then there’s this claim that Israeli sources say this and that… What a load of nonsense.
Why would Israeli sources say we’re super nice and harmless? We’re their direct rival… they probably shared their worst-case scenarios.
Since we already know that Germans are timid when it comes to Israel, there’s no need to waste any more energy on people like that.


I am grateful to God that we have virtually no major projects with Germany.… whether in the military or civilian sectors, such as energy or infrastructure.

How can you say that when Türkiye has planned over 60billion dollar trade each year with Germany?

We still have 6 AIP submarines being built with German cooperation.
33% of the Eurofighter production comes from Germany.
RAM point defence missiles project has German involvement.
German companies are heavily involved in our renewable energy programs of wind, solar and hydroelectric investments. (Nordex is investing 1.1billion in wind power project)
There is investment by Germany on Turkish rail system.
Where do you think MTU diesel generators of ships and power stations come from?
Germany is Turkiye’s no1 export destination with over 20billion dollars. Germany esports nearly 30billion dollars worth of goods to Turkiye. But Turkiye is only the 14th largest export market for Germany.

Hell! I can go on and on.

So we can’t just ignore Germans. We have to learn to live with them until we start exporting great deal more than we are importing from them.

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 billions 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 Turkey's 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 to Germany. 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.
