Pashinyan speaking in the Armenian Parliament: The great powers had no concern for protecting Armenians. The Armenian issue was merely used as a tool to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire and as a 'diplomatic whip.' Our fugitive elites and cowardly traitors used the people of Karabakh as a bargaining chip for 30 years for the sake of their own power, holding them hostage in the region. The international security guarantors we trusted and our so-called allies led us straight to the slaughterhouse. Note: I've added Turkish subtitles; if you wish, you can watch with them by pressing the CC button.

the armenians don't realise it, but indoctrinating them with anti-Turkish sentiments basically chained them to be used and abused at will by the various euro origin powers.

Ibrahim Kalin gave a speech recently at "Stratcom Summit 26":

Haven't watched it yet myself but just by skimming looks like he talks a bit about Israel-Iran then gets into an epistemological discussion.

According to Yusuf Akbaba there is a demand for Turkish bases from various African countries


“There are at least five more African countries that have requested the establishment of a military base from Turkey. We can say that the sole reason for keeping them waiting is the limited inventory of the Turkish Air Force Command and logistical shortcomings.

We are addressing the logistics issue with Qatar's support, but expanding the Turkish Air Force Command's inventory requires both time and a significant amount of financial resources.

This is why I consider the Kızılelma and Anka-III to be more important. Thanks to their faster and cheaper production compared to manned platforms, they will be particularly useful for the African theater.”

We should open another thread.
Israel vs Türkiye.. or more precisely
Jews versus Türks.

Oh, I see.

The 30-day ultimatum places significant pressure on diplomatic channels between the two nations. While Turkish firms remain active in Uganda, the rhetoric marks a sharp cooling of relations, with General Muhoozi warning that the potential fallout could include the suspension of air links.

It sounds more of a con operation rather than political gain. There were some posts* at X timeline that he demanded $1 Billion immediately just to start negotiations with Ankara! Seems like old times when Idi Amin expel minorities and foreign investors with fabricated whoppers just to dig in their wealth and investments.


*I have not posted them here as I was not sure of the accuracy of those messages.

When and where did you read/hear that?
Didnt know Iran had such a reach in Africa.
I think it was another timeless gem from this guy. He was boasting, or maybe seeking employment, from Israel. Turns out, He stated earlier that he got 500.000 people ready to fight for Israel if they could pay them.
I don’t know man. The guy’s a top notch charlatan.

The real question is, who is behind this guy.

Erdoğan may not be Turkey’s ideal politician, but he has broken free from the shackles of dependence as much as possible.
There are still dependencies, but no longer of that merciless, blackmailing kind that left virtually no room for action. The CHP and its allies would not have dared to pursue this path so consistently, but this is the path that must be taken—no one will give your country anything for free or defend your rights; only the strong are respected, whether economically, politically, or militarily.

We're not there yet though. It's going at the right direction, but we're not strong enough to be truly independent.
We will need to finally get the KAAN flying.
We will need allies. The way China/Russia is. or US and EU(well you know what I mean). I only really see Central Asia for this.So no, Qatar and Syria doesn't count.

The point our military industrial capacity reached gives us all joy and that’s not even the peak yet. Military might and political power definitely help building a strong country but to be “independent“ another parameter you need to hit is economy. Fair distribution of wealth among the populace to be precise. You can also add the protection, guarding of one’s national resources that count to a nation’s wealth for generations to come which we literally giving it away with deals worth of bupkis for periods of decades to some company based at Belize of all places!
We need to clean the house first.
One missing parameter, and the independence shakes and if not fixed topples down.
