Erdogan: the United States launched a psychological war against Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded to US demands for the release of arrested Protestant pastor Andrew Branson. According to the Turkish secret services, the pastor carried out anti-state activities in Turkey and collaborated with the so-called Gulenists, representatives of the Fethullah Gulen Association, now living in the United States.

The US Congress previously blocked the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey, demanding Ankara to release Branson. Recall that the aircraft F-35, which must be transferred to the US Air Force, are in the United States.

How does the Turkish president comment on the situation?

According to him, Washington launched a psychological war against Turkey.

Erdogan:

But we are not tied to the US. And they should not forget that if they continue this attitude, they may lose their strong and honest ally in Turkey.

Earlier in Ankara, Washington offered Branson’s exchange for Gulen. However, the United States refused, stating that Branson, who has been under house arrest since July 25, should be released without any reservations.

Ankara thinks differently, as Turkish President Erdogan claims.

The fate of Branson was also discussed during telephone conversations between the foreign ministers of the United States and Turkey, which took place the day before. Apparently, they ended in vain.

Comrade Erdoganov deserves respect, if only because he is on his course.

... and this course towards Great Turkey from the Black Sea (I would like, of course, from the Azov Sea) to the Red Sea.

[Shurik70]

Erdogan, of course, is not our friend. And I doubt that Turkey will ever be Russia's friend at all.
But he earned respect for the INDEPENDENT policy. For a long time there was no such ruler in Turkey.

[KCA]

The main thing is that he understands how not to cheat your cheeks, but it’s better to be friends with Russia at this stage, and even better than with the USA, not the State Department who prepared it, but the GDP, which the Turk was very grateful to Erdogan, said

The states will try to change the Sultan for a more flexible and accommodating person as soon as possible through the hands of the CIA. Rajep needs to be extremely careful not to repeat the fate of Luis Karvolan ... Well, of course, you need to be “friends” with the GDP, Merkel, Macron ... on a mutually beneficial basis.

So Erdogan favors NATO. Here the State Department is stupid, the military is for Erdogan ... And the State Department is stupid against Trump ...

So Erdogan favors NATO.

Does Erdogan need NATO membership? In principle, no, because Turkey is a self-sufficient country both economically and militarily. But .... But leave Turkey from NATO and the fate of Libya or Yugoslavia awaits it right there. Erdogan will be declared an "outcast," hundreds of labels will be hung on him, and goat-bearded Sam will immediately begin the "process" to establish "American-style democracy" in Turkey. And there are enough supporters of this process on the territory of this country and the experience of the "democratizers" should not be taken.

And I would not mind Great Russia. And it is the business of every citizen (except liberals) to wish greatness to their country.

Washington unleashed a psychological war against Turkey.

and not only against Turkey ... a war on all fronts, and psychological, and information, and cyber war, and real ... To whom is the war, and to whom is mother dear ....

[The black]

The United States is trying to make it clear to the whole world that now everyone is for himself. And now, in foreign policy, the States will be guided solely by their own benefit. Nothing personal, World, this is business.

The USA always proves to the whole world that the whole world owes them. And all thanks to the "green all-terrain vehicle." So, in the interests of this world, gradually abandon it.

I think that after the attempt on Erdogan, it will be difficult for the merikatos to convince the latter of anything.

will hit the price Erdogan

This is called politics: the pursuit of their actions to improve their own situation and the situation of their country.

Well, actually he achieves this - compliance with all the obligations undertaken. That is, as it was before the Americans passed a law that violates the rights of their partners.

[APASUS]

There will be no winners in the battle between the USA and Turkey. Turkey, with all its dependence on the United States, can seriously undermine the influence of Americans in the region, and even the slightest alliance with the Russians is a nightmare for Americans. Of course, Americans will first try to hit the economy, but the Turks have something to answer, disagreements in NATO can lead to the collapse of the bloc.

The Sultan made it clear that it was not too late and Turkey was ready to return to the arms of the United States, but only on other conditions. Well, for example, in the quality of the new BV "gendarme", i.e. take the place of Israel.
