IMO better to not sell the TB2 to KSA, not because they can't get it anywhere else, but it would be bad PR if TB2 was used to worsen situation in Yemen. Though I won't rule it out if KSA recognizes KKTC

I dont like the journalist, because he was a former Sabah Erdoganist, but he's been mostly accurate.

Five years since the EU-Turkey Joint Declaration with thoughts on updating it

Today marks 5 years since the EU-Turkey Joint Declaration agreed on March 18, 2016 and the need for its review and renewal seems like a one-way road. At least that is what the Turkish side wants, which argues that the situation has changed considerably since the period when the Euro-Turkish...

Ruling class thinks domestic laws are superior to the EU convention.

It’s designed by the Council of Europe. Actually as far as I know it was Turkey that signed it first and it was ratified in the Parliament with 100% of the votes... Then a few years later the Sultan decides (in the middle of the night) to withdraw from it because it destroys Turkish family values and promotes LGBT.

Like Turkish family values aren’t being destroyed everyday by all the stupid shows on Government controlled TVs.

But as I said in the Political Thread- it’s all just a provocation done with the purpose to anger some people and create frictions in society.

Turkey’s Covid jabs plan, according to Turkish Health Minister
• A total of 100 million Chinese Sinovac till end of May
• Receiving a total of 4.5 million Pfizer/BionTech in the beginning of April
• BionTech made a deal with Turkey for an optional 30 million doses

All after the meeting with the Chinese FM

 

[what]

8 Million people have been vaccinated so far and around 80% of that twice. However, the vaccinations have been slowing down recently compared to the initial speed. Good thing if the new vaccines arrive soon.

BionTechs 4.5m will only help 2.25m, so I really hope that the next batch of Sinovac arrives soon and not all at once in May. We have been relying way to much on China when it comes to the vaccines. Wonder what they got out of it this time.

Good news, normalisation between Turkey and Egypt has stopped. Reason: Turkey has failed to meet the demands of Egypt, now my question here is? Who the fuck do they think they are? I already wrote that the Turkish side boosted their ego unnecessarily and luckily this will stop now. A normalisation shouldnt happen, we should observe the situation of Egypt and steadily ramp up the support for Ethiopia with regards to GERD (Project is about to finish). As stated before, it is not possible to expect rationality from them.

Normalization wasn't even neccessary when not destroying the relations with Egypt because Mursi/Sisi scenario, this happens if you interfere in other countries internal politics.

"Eeeeey Sisi", "Eeeey Amerika", "Eeeey Nazi Almanya", "Sen kimsin yaaa"
How does this look from their perspective, don't expect anything from now, Turkey did anything to destroy relations with many countries.

I dont know how things would stand today with egypt if it wasnt for 4rabia, as I wrote its an irrational actor and conflict is already pre-programmed.

Did Turkey had good relations with Egypt before Mursi/Sisi bullshit? / with Syria before joining US plans to Balkanize it for Israels sake? / with Israel before Mavi Marmara and direct support of Hamas?

Answer YES and did it worked? You already post the Answer. A big fat underlined NO.

Turkey has a bigger economic and geostrategic value for all the named countries above rather than for example Greece who mainly could export Feta cheese in different varieties and maybe Olives. Why did they formed an "alliance" against Turkey? Because we are interfering directly in their internal politics.

Honestly Turks need to stop sucking up to Israel and Jews in general.

I said this before the jews are one of the biggest enemies to the Turks.

Thats a bit naive once we started to defend our interests and carving out a sphere of influence is when they became hostile to us.

So cleaning the minefields on the Syrian border, start an open border policy, support the weakening of Assad and aiding the US in building a pkk statelet for example was for our interest?

I support the weakening of assad too bad we followed the usa in doing it.

weakening assad is on our interest but not creating a pkk state there.. as for now akp and all other turkish parties inhistory failed in weakening and doing the correct program against this entity.. its such a fail that I dont think weakening them is their plan but more they really want to create a pkk state in the middle east take any party leading turkey this was the case..

against pkk the strongest weapon are not guns
- the strongest weapons are Mosques and Imams
- school system
- the repeating media not a puppet media borrowed from west like ours specially in the 90ties
- all MEDIA all MEDIA all MEDIA all MEDIA all MEDIA you can imagine
- law enforcemend and anti drug operations
- the destruction of clans and the building of a nation feeling
- woman rights in the east
- and at least our military

we are bashed by eu arabs jews and the garbage neighboors we have.. they will bash us more because they dont want a strong turkey there is not much in our hands to do.. unfortunally we dont have someone who is known for patientce but for many talks.. being under the radar as much as we can (not really possible) would be the best for us in the next decades..

Eu will never ever accept us and be friendly.. our people dont listen to those who live there
Arabs will never ever want us strong! the once who revolted and helped our enemies in the worst times ever are equally to eu specially they do complots with the garbage neighbors we have a few countries are not like this and good to have friendly realtions with.. the leading horns of the evil are saudis and uae
israel is just an entity never to be trusted dont be too close and too far away.. doing some economic ties may be ok
armenia needs to put under embargo no planes nothing wich has the target armenia flies through turkey.. kif there is something you can put on the last trustworthy nation on this earth than its armenia
greek the last trustworthy nation on earth is taken by armenia but closly followed with greece.. nothing is idiotic for them to be catched and used against us even if it is obviously braindead.. normally I would say having ties as neigboors would be better for both

we have the worst shitplace neighboor hood in the world inhabiting the worst I dont think any other place can top that region

again I prefer smarter politics with less attention that would be good for us to make us stronger
