TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

[Yasar_TR]

Secularism is not irreligion. It is not throwing away holy books.

Secularism means to disable those who want to oppress and use force in the name of religion.

Almost there ; but not quite .

Secularism is the principle of seeking to conduct human affairs based on naturalistic considerations, uninvolved with religion hence segregating matters of religion from matters of state.

Secularism safeguards freedom of religion or belief and ensures that the government does not favour any particular religion or impose religion on its citizens.

always mad reading about Muslims hating Ataturk. The man's success guaranteed the lives and existence of Muslims in Asia Minor whilst under the threat of complete annihilation by invading Christian states.

Without Ataturk, would there even be any Muslims left in Anatolia, less a SECULAR state that guaranteed their freedom of and from religion? Must be snorting that Arab nationalism straight from the survival scrolls. Couldn't be me.

Those who are mad about Atatürk, are the kids of the bastards that Atatürk didn't kill back in the day. They are in no way or form a Turk!

one of the major tricks marxists use is to change the perceptions and definitions of words. For example in the west a patriot or a nationalist has been turned into fascist and racist. The Islamists used the same trick with Secularism, they fooled the people into believing that secularism means atheist and against religion. Without secularism, in a country like Turkiye you will end up with religious tyranny. Like what happened in Iran. Secularism actually guaranteed your freedom to believe what you want to believe, to worship who you choose to worship.

 

[GoatsMilk]

You still suspect? I am way beyond that point.

The ones at the top and near the top no doubts know what they are doing, but their has to a nieve majority who honestly think they are doing Allahs work. Like in marxism the "useful idiots."

Honestly marxism and political islamism is nearly the same thing. Both believe that they will bring in a utopia, both if succesful will bring in an oppressive dystopian state.

brah that exactly what they are doing but not just atheism but also LGBT or group S*x etc. secular means gavat in their eye i remember when i was doing my internship in some factory in Eskisehir i met a guy who also was doing his intrenship was coming from inner Anatolia. as student we discuses about many topic. when it come to secularism he suddenly said to me eskişehir is too secular then i asked what does he ment one cant be too secular then he said people in eskişehir do group S*X in middle of street lol. first we dont do that second what does this have to do wth secularism XD neyse

and he was a young guy not some Dede

 

[UkroTurk]

Can you notice that after Erdogan had submitted a bill on Sweden’s NATO membership bid to parliament, he praised HAMAS. So Turkish voters have already forgotten about Erdoğan's words about Sweden .

Also it is being said that HAMAS leaders will be deported or have been deported.

Nice political move .

 

[Rooxbar]

folks this is what green generation look likes. hizb ut tahrir programmed them to forsake the interest of Turks and sacrifice everything for the sake of Palestinians. this is how hizb ut tahrir overthrow Shah of Iran during islamic revolution. this is their strategy to raise a green generation in each Muslim country and then use that generation to take over that country and use its resources for the sake of Palestine while the rich Arab countries watch whole thing from afar . these are the pawns of foreign powers to use turkey for their interests

when you meet them ask these questions from them

1) are you a member of Tarikat ?

2) are you a member of Pelikan Group or do you work with Pelikan Group ?

Pelikan (organization) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

3) are you a member of Gelecek Party or follower ahmet davutoglu's ideology

About Pelikan, this video is a must watch on one of its prominent members, Hilal Kaplan. Most of the times if you look a bit deeper into the past of those who hide behind Islam to attack Atatürk, you will see that what they really hate is Turks as a people; and they see that they can dupe a lot of religious Turks this way by using religion to make them start hating themselves and start acting against the interests of their own people. And this same Hilal Kaplan who is an anti-Turk to her core is a member of board of directors of TRT. Stuff of nightmares, we're living it and many Turks are not aware.

Really stupid to call Hamas freedom fighters.

Erdoğan did really well for a few weeks but couldn't hold it in and had to say something dumb.


Israel gave us an olive branch after years of animosity, literally sent countless planes full of arms to Azerbaijan, and wanted to cooperate with us against Iran, which could've opened the gates to a united Turkic world.

Yet here we are with a leader who called an organization which recorded themselves killing unarmed civilians "freedom fighters".

I bet you all remember when the media tried to paint YPG/PKK as "freedom fighters". Infuriating as f*ck.

It seems like certain elements in our government can't control their emotions and let religion dictate everything they do. They jeopardize national security for their own ideals and interests. This is why we win on the battlefield and lose at the table.

We dumped all the remaining credibility we had into the trash bin just because of one man. We shouldn’t act surprised if the world keeps labeling the PKK as freedom fighters, because after all, we are also doing the same thing by labeling other terrorists as freedom fighters too.

Anyways, we really need to stop this mad man, and for good. This country deserves better, way better.

like what kenan evren did to Kadir Mısıroğlu revoke his citizenship send him to gaza. zafer tourism but this to to gaza

 

[GoatsMilk]

t we discuses about many topic. when it come to secularism he suddenly said to me eskişehir is too secular then i asked what does he ment one cant be too secular

One thing i noticed with Political islamists is they always have sex on their minds.

 

[Ryder]

Honestly everytime humans attain power regardless if its religion or even secularism

You can either use it for good or become an oppressor.

Human history is full of it.

I feel like Turkiye can learn a lot from the Far Eastern mentality. Look at Japan it was the only G7 country not to support Israel but it also condemned Hamas.

Our foreign policy needs to be cold and calculated not a playtoy for bullshit populism.

Sorry to say but Populism has always been in Turkish politics and it got worse under Erdogan and the Opposition.

Who remembers the constant childish attacks between Erdogan and Deniz Baykal.

At the end of the day they became friends. Its a nice bullshit facade.

Why nowadays is Turkiye being condemned for not saving Palestine? Do people think Turkiye is an empire that can go fight and save everybody.

People expect too much from Turkiye.

Like hunk said from resident evil. This is war and survival is your responsibility.

 

[Ryder]

Dont forget how the USA and the EU tried to make Turkiye stop the Cizre operation in 2015.

Also dont forget everytime Turkiye tries to crush the ypg the USA and the EU get sanctions and embargoes ready even tell Turkiye to express restraint.

Now compare this to Gaza as both have given a green light to Israel to invade.

Their rehtoric is Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorists.

When Turkiye gets attacked they basically tell us to express restraint LOL

Also USA shot down a Turkish drone in an attempt to send a message.

When you see the videos of street interview, you can see so many idiots like him. They reply to the question about "If it's needed, would you go and fight for your Muslim brothers against Israel?" like "Yes, of course. Bla bla bla...."
And then interviewer says that "Ok. We have a list to add people who want to fight in Gaza. We arrange a transportation. Shall we add your name and ID information to the list?" and the people turn 180 degree and say many excuses not to go there. 99,9% answers in the similar way.

Our people is just like that. composing of many idiots. and unfortunately, the country is being governed by those people.

May God save our country!

Kemalism is dead, took only 20 years to reduce Atatürk to a pagan idol people invoke for status

 

[Afif]

What does being reduced to 'pagan idol' means? Irrelevant?

I imagine, Ataturk will stay relevant as long as the Turkish Republic lives and beyond.

It is not possible even for the fierce critic of Ataturk's policies and ideals, (if he is honest) to deny him. Son can disagree with father as much as he want, but he cannot deny him or render him insignificant. Without Ataturk, it is very hard to imagine Türkiye in its current shape and size (Or at all.)

If you are a conservative, then it is almost like, God chose him to save the Turkish state and its people.

They have trampled his ideals and erased his traditions across the spectrum. He is just used as a figurehead to sway the right wing masses around election time and then put away.

Ataturk can mean anything today depending on who uses the symbolism as a tool.

Bro, there are literally people believing that the British gave Ataturk the win in Canakkale and later supported him so they can have a puppet country. We have people that call themselves "historians" that are saying "it was better we stayed under Greek rule rather than being ruled by Ataturk".

Unfortunately in the last years these kind of people are on the rise. It is clear as a day that some officials on high positions within the government have a very big problem with Ataturk and his name is remembered more rarely than ever. I can tell for sure that it is remembered before elections for example. There is a try to replace Ataturk with the image of President Erdogan. The current situation of Turkiye is portrayed as the Second War of Independence. As I agree that the ruling party did some important changes within the system of how the State operates it also made very big mistakes of which the results we see today. Unfortunately the price for those mistakes was paid in blood. Both Ataturk and President Erdogan have their place in the history of Turkiye but to compare one to another is not right. The whole propaganda in that direction is something that is not right.

When it comes to the current status of Ataturk in the Turkish society I think both the ruling party and also the main opposition party bear a great responsibility. We can say many things about the party of Ataturk CHP and its current state which is a total disgrace to the legacy Ataturk left after he departed this world. In order to not deepen the political discussion I will not continue further. I rarely join internal politics discussions due to my principles which are saying "do not meddle in politics" and also my position as a moderator in the forum.

I can say one thing regarding this issue. No matter how hard some try, no matter how much gulf money is poured in their projects, no matter if the great powers corner us again, we will win. Again and again. We are the always shining sun above Turkiye. We are the youth of Ataturk.

TURKEY: PAKISTAN'S PRESIDENT ZIA UL-HAQ ARRIVES ON A FOUR-DAY STATE VISIT.

INTRODUCTION%3A+President+Zia+ul-Haq+of+Pakistan+flew+to+Ankara+on+Monday+%2812+January%29+for+a+four-day+state+visit+to+Turkey%2C+as+the+first+head+of+state+to+visit+the+country+since+the+military+takeover+last+September.

www.britishpathe.com

Belongs in history but still foreign policy.

Kenan Evren and Zia Ul Haq were pretty similar. Both did a coup and came from military backgrounds.

Both shared anti communist sentiment.

It is said Kenan evren wanted to acquire nuclear weapons. Im interested in the talks they had.
