There were various terrorist corpses searched by village guards after shootouts in the 90's and they werent circumsized like a muslim body should have been.

And many Kurdish and Turkish civillians who were stopped at the road in trolleybusses by the PKK, witnessed strange foreign languages between some of them, no Kurdish or Zaza.

There was a Turkish historian but i dont know his name. He said that the Armenians never forgot that the Kurdish Hamidiye-Corps of Sultan Abdulhamid II killed thousands of Armenian insurgents in the East, so they created PKK to kill both Kurds and Turks.

They let the Kurds think that they are fighting for a free Kurdistan, like the Arabs were thinking that they fought for a free Arab state when Lawrence approached them. After Kurdistan is created, it will be a part of Great-Armenia.

I dont know the name of this historian.
Their ideological support base are ethnic kurds, meaning their recruit base are also ethnic kurds. Armenians aleady killed tens of thousands of kurds whilst trying to establish their own ethno-state during WW1, they didn't need to create some artificial organization for that.

The pkk is an ideological, almost cult-like organization. Their supposed "marxist/socialist" Ideology is just another form of nationalism, just like the Soviet Union was just another iteration of Russian Imperialism. Their goals aver very clear-cut. If anything the pkk does more harm than good for armenians. They didn't change the outcome during the Karabakh war and having any kinds of connections with the pkk is practically asking for Turkish military pressure/intervention. Something Armenia cannot afford.

The arabs still think that they fought for a free state, because despite ending up as british and french colonies they were indeed no longer under Ottoman rule.

Problem to be managed and threat are not the same things.

All our main projects in land, sea and air are dependent on American and European subcomponents.


Current government has cost us a full decade in foreign policy in all the theaters we are active, maybe save for Somalia. That's a decade we will never get back and that loss had an irretrievable damage to our long term.
Then show me what the previous governments in Turkey have achieved. I would like a list of these.
Show me one government in the history of Turkey that was successful and brought technology, industry and infrastructure. I am very curious

Germany is slowly beginning to threaten nations that perform arms trade with Turkey. They are probably furious that their previous sanctions are proving worthless and soon their monopoly in market shares such as engines, tanks and submarines will be swallowed by the Turkey in the near future

The germans were, are, and will always be enemies at this rate


Translation:
Chilean sources reported that Germany refused to sell new Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Chile in case of a modernization agreement with ASELSAN. Germany's offer to Chile for new Leopard 2 models included the condition that no modernization agreement would be signed with ASELSAN.

Don't extract so much from a single small event. If a third party offers upgrades to exported Altay's, will Turkey continue to offer support for the countries that buys that third-party upgrades?

Turkiye in the future will become an alternative to the Overrated Germans just like their cars.

There are other alternatives and they dont like it when there is competition to beat their arrogant asses.

Turkey's Ballistic Missiles Off the Horn of Africa: Ankara Plans to Build Test Site in Somalia,​

- Russian military publication Topvar sadly reports.
The publication further writes: - «Türkiye is planning to create a testing ground in Somalia from which ballistic missiles will be launched for testing purposes. This is reported by the GDH publication, citing sources that this site will be ideal from a security point of view, since the rockets will fly towards the Indian Ocean. A spaceport may also be built here, near the equator...»
«A 2015 defense industrial cooperation agreement between the countries endorses “joint research, development and production projects in the field of military equipment in the territories of the parties.” In 2017, a Turkish military base, the largest abroad, began operations in Mogadishu. There are currently plans to begin oil and natural gas exploration off the coast of Somalia, - Russian publication complains
For our part, we note that the deployment of Turkish ballistic missiles near the Horn of Africa could significantly increase Ankara’s geopolitical influence, since one of the world’s main trade routes passes through here»...

«Currently, Turkey's longest-range missile is the Tayfun. Its range is 561 km, but it is planned to increase it to more than 1000 km. The accuracy of the strike is said to be about 4-5 meters. However, it may soon be replaced by the Cenk ballistic missile, which is being developed by Roketsan. Its range is expected to significantly exceed 1000 km», - writes the Russian publication, continuing to cry... :cry: :)

Phone call between Abiy and Erdoğan re Somalia. We'll either see a deal neither side like but can live with or open hostilities.

"3rd round of mediation between Ethiopia and Somalia due tomorrow (Tuesday) in Turkiye has been postponed. No new date yet announced and no official reason yet for the delay. There has been more friction btw the 2 sides in recent weeks since the last round - after Egypt send military aid to Somalia But also this offer by Djibouti to Ethiopia to use one of its ports for access to the sea.

What do we import from Norway?
It doesn't have to be end products. Finland was supplying high quality steel needed for the defence industry for example. After Finnish restrictions were lifted, our weapon manufacturers took it as a very positive development.

Yes, don't buy important equipment from enemy .
Deception and sabotage in warfare is know for thousends of year in human history , this news with pagers remembers me the British inteligence in ww2 that replaced industrial diamonds with fake ones to german nazis 🤣.
Aslo during iraq-iran war there were sold defect weapons that can blow in your face . Turkiye should take a lesson and do the same with pkk but only do it in serials 🤣.
Those hezbollah must be low IQ people, they should know that are messing with among the best inteligence agency and every equipment and what they eat or drink should be checked mutiple times.
During cold war u can find those kind of sabotages selling fake technology or software ...
