I am against exports to Argentina and Uruguay because of their attitude towards Turkiye, especially with regard to the Armenian nonsense.
-improving the relations and providing affordable alternatives to their needs may eventually change their perception and actions and I am not only talking about Argentina and Uruguay. Our millitary industiry is becoming a very effective and useful diplomatic tool.
-Aselsan will present the project for the modernization of MEKO 360 destroyers to the Argentine Navy Aselsan company is working on a project for the modernization of MEKO 360 destroyers, an initiative that will be submitted for evaluation of the Argentine Navy. Within the scope of the modernization program, it is aimed to upgrade existing systems with Turkish-made elements such as fire control, radar and electronic sensors.
@Baryshx I can’t say that what Argentine and Uruguay did is ok. But when you look at it from their perspective, it kind of makes sense.
In Argentine’s case,
in my opinion, (not a fact) they might‘ve thought that to maintain their non-NATO ally status, which I believe there were six of them, they, partly out of zeal and partly maybe due to some US based Armenian lobby pressure, might have done it.
I can’t think anything else.
I would also humbly like remind our readers here that Turkey is the scapegoat now and the next pariah state candidate in American foreign policy. So, some lesser power countries not to be “left behind”, may hop on the let’s bash Turkey wagon. We must be ready for such blows from left and right. This condemning Armenian “nonsense” in national parliaments is nothing but to push Turkey into the corner. This is another step of pushing Turkey into isolation. This may be even a precondition of becoming an American ally in the future.
As far as Argentine goes, I don’t see any beef between us and looks like Turkish government don’t seem like they’re bothered about it, either. If we do what some hope us to do and cut relations with every country one by one, then we really will loose.
Turkey does not have any political ambitions and goals in S. America. It’s US’ playground. All we want is sell stuff and have trade relations.
That’s how i see it.
