TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

[Afif]

Thats true I always say Muslims should always look at their past glory and try to move onto to the future.

Im proud of both Islamic and Turkic history.

Bangladesh is a country with lots of potential it just has to be used right. I know Bangladesh will never a superpower but it can be a neutral country like switzerland with a strong economy, political and military.

Bangladesh is a doing a good job in maintaining relations with everybody and in its region.

Yes! We were never an independent superpower. but we were part of the mughol empire which was a super power at its peak. And overall mughal GDP were heigher then ottoman gdp. And the small bengla province were accounted for nearly half of entire subcontinent gdp which was at that time 25 of the whole world gdp.

Now in term of foreign policy, the bilateral relationship between bangladesh and turkey is can go back to several century. Way before even the turkish Republic and the modern bangladesh were born. I don't think many turkish people or for that matter bangladeshis are well aware of that.

The cultural ties is much deeper than anyone may anticipate. In fact muslim bangla identity was born when a great turkic conqueror named 'Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji' conquered the region. his conquest was the beginning of the islamic rule in the region.

and later, The ruling dynasty of Nawabs_of_Bengal_and_Murshidbad was also turkic origins.

But I think the most astonishing fact is, during 17th century bangladesh was the prominent supplier of warship fleets for the ottoman navy.

you see we were a tiny country in corner of subcontintent and yet we were miles ahead of entire north America in shipbuilding. both quality and quantity.

Recently, Bangladesh navy published a requirement for two new submarine. If STM can offer its TS1700 submarine and a deal can be signed in the near future it would a notable foreign policy achievement for both countries. ( Maybe one built in turkey and another one in Bangladesh ) also, I class frigate can be front runner for bangladesh next gen frigates program. These things sometimes require some lobbying. but Unfortunately, high level visit is not frequent between bangladesh and turkey. For example, president erdogan visited pakistan four times when he came to bangladesh only one time. Despite the fact turkish- bangladeshi trade volume is higher than pakistan.

shame on us for not capitalizing on that!

btw china being n1 can be attributed to their antagonistic position towards the US.(and they really try their hardest to construct that public opinion, god bless'em(!))

The next Italian government will be a fascist government and hostile to the European Union.
I can see an Italian-Polish-Hungarian alliance forming and they are already allied in the European Parliament

I found out a lot of Arabs carry Turkic surnames. Does not make them Turkic but still interesting.

Im really curious if they have Seljuk, Ottoman or Mamluk ancestors.

Putin plays Erdogan like a fiddle. You can't really blame him, erdogan keeps exposing himself to Putins obvious lies and deceptions.

erdogan says Putin wants to end the war.... the following day putin announces mass mobilisation which when all is said and done will be another 1 to 2 million russian soldiers thrown into the Ukrainian war.

Exactly, he praise Erdoğan and make him believe whatever he says.

For example?

 

[Ryder]

For example?

Tuman, Qansu, Demerdash, Jawish, Shubashi and Basha.

I think Baybars and Qutuz are known to be popular among male names.

I think Turki is common. I guess it makes sense lots of Turks migrated into the Middle East.

Kashoggi real surname is actually Kasikci.

And Greece got caught. The M1117s were seen while they were being lowered to the islands. What will happen now. What will Turkey do about it?

Is Greece knowingly and willingly giving these images so that Turkey can attack it?

Does Mitsotakis want to be the new Volodymyr Zelensky?

Are the Greek people aware of the dangerous attempts of Mitsotakis, who is criticized as pro-US?

What does USA want to do by mixing the Aegean with Miçotakis, the man in Greece? What could their goals be?

I feel sorry for you . you tried to demonize arabs in this forum , but if anything people need to know that arabs don't see turk as an enemy like how you portrayed us to some turkish members here .


anyway , If Erdogan deal with Al-Asad is true , probably turkey will be no 2 in the hate list since the main reason of why arabs hate Iran is what they did in Syria .

 

[Heartbang]

If Erdogan deal with Al-Asad is true

there isnt a deal. and there wont be a deal. Assad's wants from Erdogan is not feasible.

What does USA want to do by mixing the Aegean with Miçotakis, the man in Greece? What could their goals be?

To control what goes in and out of the Black sea,to keep RF Black sea fleet in check and to prevent Turkey controlling the aegean islands,thus denying them(US) to achieve the above mentioned objectives. Keeping Turkey in check is a bonus. This tactic is called "Checks and Balances". I don't know what is the prevalent opinion in Turkey, but time is on Turkish side by all metrics. This is the reason of all those provocations in the aegean. It is imperative Turkey avoid any confrontation, unless it is the 12 nm(there is a casus belli in place since the 90-ies)

Strong words mate,you must be very acknowledged regarding the Italian society. If things go bad,Italians can go south to enjoy the freedoms they lost.
Hostility to the EU is a hobby in this day and age,as such, i wouldn't equate it with the fascio ideology. 2022 is not 1930. I advise you check your sources!

 

[Bylis]

Well,sorry mate,since abc said so it must be the case. South means south,get a map! If you cant find one,from Misr to Magreb. Somehow!

 

[Bylis]

You ain't shit, you'd better stay in the kitchen.

You are in delirium and making no sense at all. Is this the language you guys use? You are embarrassing yourself with vulgarities. Keep calm and carry on! This thread is about Turkish foreign policy, you are loosing everybody's time.

Demirtas yeah maybe man.

My best friend is Iraqi Turkmen. It really fasincates me how similar also different we are.

We are like one big family.
