In Erdoğan term, the islands in Aegean Sea were armed against the Treaty of Lausanne.And Erdogan did nothing. With the courage they got from here, Greece declared our airspace its own.And now they're trying to invade our continental shelf.

Just look at this two maps and tell me who is trying to invade????
The Kurdish initiative was made in this country during the Erdogan period .Then the PKK terrorist organization revived again.Our soldiers were shot in the head in public, but Erdogan did not allow the army to carry out an operation at that time.They dug everywhere in Diyarbakir, planted bombs and the government did not do anything as you wanted. We had to restore security by giving many martyrs.
The information I have is from all over the internet, from news sites, opinion pieces to the likes of Wikipedia articles (I know not everything is 100% reliable, but overall, you can get a general view of the situation when reading from multipke sources)Wow,where did you get all this knowledge about my country's situation?
The Cyprus issue is well known and documented. It’s not a secret what happened in Cyprus, or the fact that Turkey still has troops in the country 50 years after the war.''Holding Cyprus hostage''
''Recognize Greece's EEZ rights''
Kurdish issue in Turkiye(there is none)
Turkish EU aplication
Information is all over the internet. Some of it is more biased depending on who writes it, but many sources are just telling the facts.What i want to know is where you got all this information from?
Which media or any other way of gathering information?
Arming of the islands goes well before Erdogan. There is ambiguity from the Turkish side regarding the situation on islands, I'll give you that. Matter of the airspace around Aegean is a hard topic. Greece does two things over Aegean which Turkey disagrees. One is claiming that as the mainland and its islands make up the Athens FIR, all flights entering the Aegean needs Greece's permission or acceptance. This is wrong. FIR only relates to civilian flights. Military or governmental planes have no duty to uphold FIR and as long as they are outside of Greek airspace(meaning above Greece and its 6nm territorial waters and airspace they can do so as they wish, which is the internationally agreed upon arrangement. Turkish aircraft entering Athens FIR does not violate Greece's sovereignty as long as those aircraft does not enter directly Greek airspace at 6nm. This is similar to Taiwan ADIZ where newspapers say everytime a PLA aircraft patrols in the channel it entered the Taiwanese airspace, it's nonsense. Taiwan ADIZ is not Taiwanese airspace.Nobody is trying to invade your continental shelf, and Greece would not have been arming the islands in the Aegean Sea if it was not for the consistent violation of their airspace by your forces. The aggressive rethoric from Erdogan coupled with the constant airspace violations are making Greece weary and this is why they are resorting to arming their islands.
The first map looks like the international recognized map, while the second map looks like a revisionist map stoking conflict and contesting Greece’s sovereignity.
I’m with you on the Kurdish issue, don’t get me wrong. I do not agree with the PKK terrorists and with the fact that EU supports them. This is why I was suggesting a negotiation with the EU where Turkey gives up its claims on the Greek EEZ and Northern Cyprus in exchange for support against the PKK terrorists and the end of EU help for such terrorists.
You say not to go out more than a jetski distance to our country, which is covered with seas on 3 sides. When we oppose this, we become revisionists.Greece uses Erdogan's bad image and harsh rhetoric to its advantage in the international community and tries to legitimize its own megaloidea, but in vain.I am eagerly awaiting the election.What will happen when Erdogan goes and replaces him with a leader who will defend our national interests in a more appropriate language?Nobody is trying to invade your continental shelf, and Greece would not have been arming the islands in the Aegean Sea if it was not for the consistent violation of their airspace by your forces. The aggressive rethoric from Erdogan coupled with the constant airspace violations are making Greece weary and this is why they are resorting to arming their islands.

I'm not so sure if public will buy this. If they negotiated it before kicking down the table, they could've avoided the drama.Now they got 3 candidates they can sell to different demographics, instead of KK alone.
Mansur Yavaş will be vice president. Iyip will be one of the two main elements of the new government. So, the control mechanism of the new government will be in the hands of the nationalists. This must also mean that Hdp and Tip stay away too. It is not ideal but a reasonable solution has been created. This much could not have been won if Akşener had not made this move. The vice presidents would have been Babacan, Davutoğlu etc.
This is nothing more than “operation save face” tbh. If Aksener wanna sell her party and electorates and works for everyone, why not. And turns out, those mayors are not to resign their posts after they’re appointed to those new posts.Mayors as advisers(calling cbaşkanı yardımcısı as vice president is wrong imo as they are not directly elected but appointed by the pres) is a small gesture but if it's good enough to keep the table whole, great win all around for them. Now they got 3 candidates they can sell to different demographics, instead of KK alone.

HDP's position is still remaining to be seen. They were happy and were supporting KK after İYİP withdrew from the alliance. It would be a grave mistake if they(HDP) were invited to the table, imo.
After HDP’s unconditional support offer together with possibility of other parties on the left joining the coalition over the weekend, I would really like to see how this rapprochement attempt will end up my self.Mansur Yavaş will be vice president. Iyip will be one of the two main elements of the new government. So, the control mechanism of the new government will be in the hands of the nationalists. It must also mean that Hdp and Tip will be left out of the table. It is not ideal but a reasonable solution has been created. This much could not have been won if Akşener had not made this move. The vice presidents would have been Babacan, Davutoğlu etc.
Hopefully, we will create the ideal one with the next elections to be held after the transitional government.
My view of the political order in my country, a ranking from ideal to non-ideal:After HDP’s unconditional support offer together with possibility of other parties on the left joining the coalition over the weekend, I would really like to see how this rapprochement attempt will end up my self.
Nice.My view of the political order in my country, a ranking from ideal to non-ideal:
A- A nationalist government
Isn't it possible?
B- Keeping the government under the control of a nationalist party organization
Isn't it possible?
C- The structure of the government and the political order in the country must have the conditions to strengthen the nationalist segment
Isn't it possible?
D- The political order must be reset.
How will it be one of the main elements of the new govt?Mansur Yavaş will be vice president. Iyip will be one of the two main elements of the new government. So, the control mechanism of the new government will be in the hands of the nationalists. This must also mean that Hdp and Tip stay away too. It is not ideal but a reasonable solution has been created. This much could not have been won if Akşener had not made this move. The vice presidents would have been Babacan, Davutoğlu etc.
Hopefully, we will create the ideal one with the next elections to be held after the transitional government. As soon as Kılıcdaroğlu makes a move to lift Demirtaş's detention, the new chapter will begin.
Again, it is ”operation face save”.How will it be one of the main elements of the new govt?
Yavas being the vice president just means that the CHP will still own everything; moreover, Yavas is old so I dont expect him to survive in this field for too long tbh. If Aksener asked for the position of the vice president fora member of the iYi, then I would have said that your analysis is spot on
With this, Aksener literally gave the power back to the HDP/CHP for at least 6 years. Finally, if they did fullfill their promise of switching the presidential system back to the parliamentary system and initiate new elections, will the iYi alone be able to defeat the table of 5 alone? I dont think so
As long as Turkey’s interests diverge from those of the EU, yes, they would want it on a leash. But if Turkey would align its interests with those of the wider EU, than a strong and developed Turkey would be good for everyone.
The problem right now is that the EU doesn’t trust Turkey, because of the Greek EEZ and the Cyprus issues. The EU badly beeds Cyprus to develop its gas resources in the Mediterranean, and Turkey is blocking that.
If Turkey would be less hostile towards Greece and would withdraw its troops from Cyprus, the relations with the EU could quickly change for the better, and Turkey could even join one day.
