As Hakan Fidan said before: As long as the Turks are Muslims, the EU will view it as a different race from them and will never allow their integration into the EU

The EU's double standard 4ole towards Turkey just proves this point. When Russia invaded Ukraine, they came running and knocking at Turkey's doors for help yet they not only refuse to update the customs union but also sign FTA with other countries that indirectly harm Turkey even though a FTA with Turkey would benefit the EU in terms of pricing and quality more than any FTA with other countries

The FTA with Mercosur is basically postponed for the foreseeable future and most probably the same will be done with India too. The European Commission can sign FTA agreements but after that they must be approved by the European parliament and every single European state too. Even if one country is against it it won’t happen.

With Mercosur the farmers protested all around the EU capitals because South Americans can flood the EU with cheap produce and they will bankrupt local farmers. If certain countries and economic sectors see danger in the FTA agreement with India be sure that the same faith will follow it.

In all this mess that is the EU and it’s decision making structure I don’t see how a new Customs union agreement will even be negotiated and implemented.

Top Turkish diplomat says Iran ready to negotiate, warns against US attack​

Arab and Islamic countries must create their own security architecture and create an environment of absolute trust among themselves."


Report informs that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said this in an interview with Al Jazeera.

"Yes, our countries need it. We need to build fundamental and absolute trust among ourselves, and deterrence will come second. The problem in our region is the lack of trust between nation-states. So, if we can strengthen trust between nations, it will help ensure stability and peace without the dominance of any one country."

"Look how the European Union was able to build its community from scratch. Why can't we do the same? We don't aim to create a new camp. We want to create a regional solidarity platform. We can start with two or three countries, but over time it would be ideal if it turned into something comprehensive that would include most of the countries in the region," the foreign minister noted.

Fidan believes that without regional solidarity, there will always be a need for a hegemon: "The hegemon (meaning states) comes to you to solve your problems, but when he leaves, he leaves a worse legacy. Second, the hegemon demands payment. We have seen this with the US and other hegemons in the region. Therefore, we must be able to solve our own problems independently. This requires a certain degree of solidarity and institutionalization."

Everyone moved further right, but non EU US partners like Australia, New Zealand, Canada show the largest shifts.

Looks like Türkiye has a new, unlikely ally against YPG/PKK in mesopotamia. One which has a tiny population, but is extremely good for our PR due to being Christian. This is pissing off some of our regional enemies which is always great to see.

Along with illegal immigration, one of our biggest issues is bad PR. If we can back a certain group in Iraq and Syria, all plans of stopping our influence with a kurdish corridor will blow up in their faces.

While good to have, Assyrians online are nothing more than larpers and diaspora in very small numbers. They don't really exist on the ground.

State did some good after 2016, doing some small work to invite back diaspora Assyrians.

Assyrian Christians increasingly move back to Turkey after more than 40 years

Turkish government’s efforts to ensure Assyrian rights encourage them to return but lack of infrastructure and security problems fail to entice the youth

Yeah realistically they can't be proxies, which is good for them as their population is already too low to engage in Syria and Iraq. But we could provide them a lifeline and in return we get good PR, a win win.

Agreed, some return to normalcy would be good and they would also be a very nice anchor in the region both in Turkey and Iraq / Syria. YBŞ in Iraq should also be dismantled in the meanwhile.

 

[Shtr]

It seems Canada (UK?) and Türkiye will have a great cooperation. I guess it can include some tech transfer exchange. I hope it will continue in the Nuclear field as well.

From what I've heard the Egyptian military is useless, they need help ASAP

From what I've heard the Egyptian military is useless, they need help ASAP

Every large military have their own problems. Egyptians have a huge army, big air force(more AESA equipped fighters than us for example!) and a respectable navy; with issues of maintenance, like all others.

They squashed ISIS in the desert, made some good bargains against us in Libya and are actively fighting in Sudan and deployed a sizable force to Somalia.

Qualitatively they're far behind TSK. Co-operation will benefit them a lot. It's good that there's cooperation now because no matter how large the Egyptian military is, they need to be aligned with TSK. Caspain Report and a lot of other geopolitical analysts have highlighted this. Egypt's geography predisposes them to seek a strong naval partner in the region.

The country which has population of almost 120 millions and arable land size of Suisse can't have much of future. When I was a kid , Egypt hasd about 38 to 40 million. Geography in itself is tricky, even in unlikely case of conflict with Israel, it is narrow geography and open empty places, they see them coming. The source of Nile are far.
It is what they as population chose. Weather you have economy and technology or 15 children it is you choice.
The army is a behemoth, too many suppliers also. I guess that they produce few systems from the scratch and a loads of the spare parts but that isn't what really is needed .
It took Ukrainian pilots almost a year to qualify from su27 and Mig 29s to F16. Those pilots received training for free from top Western schools. Imagine all those various planes and systems???
I guess that has been the state policy.
As of Turkiye,all is ok . Some deals have been made and it is as far as it will go. At least good enough to cover some costs. What Egypt is going to do , it is their problem. I don't see them changing any equitation. Good luck and good bye.

Egypt is not in a good place geographically. Control of the Suez seems great, but their geography is a curse. Not only because they rely on fresh water that is out of their control, but because their largest cities are on flat, exposed land.

With good training their military can become potent, but it will need 5 years to make a major stride forward.

I wish them all the best, but for that someone needs to have money, clear and objective vision etc. I am afraid that they don't have that. Despite the numbers of Arabs and the resources, none of them are able to make even single air frame.
Take a look at Egyptian air defence systems? Plentiful, of course from the various countries. On paper, it should be much better than the Turkish ones but that's not the case.
In the last 12 13 years, Turkey fired 100s of missiles for the sake of development. Missiles,radars, communications, combat management systems, production, tooling etc. even VSL Turkey tested air defence again Kizilelma, Anka 3 and to extent KAAN . Let alone all the experience in signal collecting SOJ project, unified command. In all of that, foreign nations have no insight. Add incoming satellites and Fergani GPS and it is holistic system. It might not be the best in the world but Turkish Air defence command knows inside out the system that they got with the huge experience of testing.
Weather Egypt or Saudi want to go with that in some way it would be more beneficial to them than for Turkiye. If not , there you go , good luck good bye and no hard feelings. After all, as we Bosnians say " What you don't have you can without". Programs must be finished and I am confident insha'Allah that all of it will be resolved sooner or later

Having an Israeli security analyst spill out his trashy statements is just enough to know how most of what is being stated is bullsh**t

The only thing I got from this video is how Israel is bitching over Turkey's growing alliances and strength
🔺️Israel is angry that Turkey is growing stronger with every passing day and is scared that they wont be able to contain the Turks anymore
🔺️Israel is angry at Erdogan for unifying Syria and is piss scared at making Syria's single army even stronger that Israel will eventually wont be able to contain
🔺️Israel is angry that Erdogan is working towards building a security architecture comprising of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Egypt aimed at destroying Israeli interferemce within the region
🔺️Israel is angry that Syria, which under Assad's family 50-year rule and brainwashing has turned majority of Syrians anti-Turkey only for it to be overturned within 10 years and how many Syrians are grateful for Turkey that they endured the Syrians within their lands and how the sentiment of brotherhood has emerged between both populations. This terrifies Israel as Syria will soon align with Erdogan's foreign policy, join the Turkish sphere of influence, and will aid Turkey in destroying any radical elements aimed at destabilisng both brotherly nations
🔺️Israel is angry that Saudi Arabia is now re-aligning with Turkey
🔺️Israel states that Al-Sharaa is a terrorist even though they themselves supported Al-Nusra and are treating ISIS commander
🔺️Israel believes that by only aligning with Israel's future vision over the region will there be true peace and how only the UAE does that openly while criticisng the Turks, Saudis, and Egyptians
🔺️Israel is angry that Al-Sharaa said there can be no peace with Israel as that would mean Syria's surrender of Golan heights to Israel


I just want people to know something very well rn
the moment the state of Israel has been formed, the moment the Middle East has been embroiled in an unending cycle of pain, bloodshed, and suffering. This Satanic death cult is the reason for all the mess we are in

🔺️It is Israel that sent its own Mossad and IDF forces, under the guise of NGOs into Sudan to plan its splitting into two parts; i-e, Sudan and South Sudan
🔺️It is Israel that is illegally occupying the Golan Heights of Syria yet dare to even ask for normalisation and peace with Syria which would defacto mean that Syria is willing to surrender its territory to Israel
🔺️It is Israel that wanted to illegaly divide Syria into federations, kick the Syrian-majority Sunni Arabs that make 80% of the population and demographically occupy 92% of all Syria into a small, barren, desert while giving radical fascist PKK-kurds, drug lord Druze, and murderous Alawites control of all Syria resources and strategic infrastructure
🔺️It is Israel that aided the PKK long before Erdogan came to power; even Ocalan himself admitted how in the 1990s he had continuous contact with Mossad agents
🔺️It is Israel that promoted Hamas to rule Palestine, which ironically, they now label as terrorist organisation
🔺️It is Israel that is actively stealing Palestinian lands, against all peace treaties that even Israel had signed before
🔺️It is Israel that promoted the current civil war in Sudan and I wont even begin to mention the degree of atrocities that the Israeli-backed RSF is commiting against the innocent Sudanese people rn
🔺️It is Israel that is actively breaking away Somalia to fullfill its degenrate agenda
🔺️It is Israel trying to undermine Turkish soveriegnity over its Med Sea territory due to the fact which was stated by many Israeli news sites before: "If Turkey got oil, it will be too strong to contain"
🔺️It is Benjamin Natenyahu that promoted the war in Iraq to the US congress and stated how that if Saddam fell, it would have positive reverberations accross the region
🔺️It is Israel that aided the UAE in breaking Libya and Yemen and are working to undermine the influence of Turkey and Egypt in Africa
🔺️It is Israel that runs one of the largest prostitution rings, drug rings, Organ-trading rings, pedophilic rings, and human trafficking rings worldwide
🔺️It is Benjamin Natenyahu that openly admitted that he believes that many nations within the Med East are too big and needs to be divided for Israel's security and that includes Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia
🔺️It is Benjamin Natenyahu that openly admitted that Israel, since its founding, has been running on Talmudic beliefs and scriptures. A book that promotes and legalises rape, pedophilia, non-jews as "goyim" (creatures worse than animals), how everything in this world was promised to them 2000 years ago, promotes slavery and how all non-jews are eventually meant to end up as slaves to the jew
🔺️It is Israel that admitted to treating ISIS's leader and many Al-Nusra/Al-Qaeda fighters in its hospitals under "humanitarian concern" while they accuse Syrian president AL-Sharra of being a terrorist

Each and every catastrophe that occured in the Med East within the last 50 years was either directly or indirectly caused by Israel. So when you bring a two-hour long video about a trash Israeli analyst justifying Israel's side, you immediately realise that it is nothing more than propaganda towards the ignorant masses

I can bet my whole life's savings that if Erdogan were to announce complete cessation of Turkish military developement, the Israelis would be the first to praise Erdogan on how much of a progressive, democratic, Western-oriented, and peace-loving leader really is

And after all this, you find the Israelis wondering why on earth the whole region bloody fqing hates those c**ts as if they are some victims
