Erdogan accuses the United States of complicity with terrorism against the backdrop of the American refusal to hand out preacher Fethullah Gulen to Ankara. He is considered the organizer of a coup attempt in Turkey in Turkey. Turkey also raised duties for numerous American goods and imposes a ban on the sale of American electronics in the country. At the same time, in both countries they say that the conflict will not affect the relations within the North Atlantic military bloc.

    Oh ... I do not support, but something like that was to be expected. Although compared with the murder of our ambassador - a little. However, the conflict between Ankara and Washington is expanding ...

            Erdogan does not need it at all, here are mattresses - on hand. Now they will start broadcasting about which Turks are savages, that they are never democrats, etc. In general, they will form a negative public opinion (and not only).

              This option is also possible, but I did not categorically say that this is a provocation of Erdogan. And the involvement of the mattresses themselves and without me managed to suggest. wink

                  I am sure that this question is of interest to many (or rather all), but the question is not addressed: it must be asked to the VO administration.

                  At the bottom of each page there is a "Contacts" item. Go there and ask the admins this question. hi I already sent them a message on this topic - zero reaction. I think the more such questions are asked, the faster (I hope) the administration will respond.

          Already confirmed here (on this thread) that it is quite possible. In fairness, Andrei, here you can come up with any number of options, up to provocation of some foreign intelligence services, who benefit from a confrontation between Turkey and the United States. Yes

            I think the current relations between Turkey and the United States are just beneficial for these two countries, no matter how strange it may sound, but as for the help of friends in the confrontation between them, I simply do not believe it. A lot of strangeness recently in the (confrontation) of Turkey and the USA some kind of dummy recalls, all these accusations, appeals, etc. It looks like another game. Turkey is sailing in a boat owned by the United States and does not depend on anything (proud) Turks, and their opinion is also, by and large, as the owners give a slave, farting into the air and that's all, and it’s all good to all)))) . It's my opinion.

      More than sure that the murder of our ambassador, and the downing of our plane, and this shelling of the American embassy, ​​is the work of America and Co. itself.
      Let's remember the "tragicomedy" with twin towers and everything will become clear. Amers had to immediately "democratize" Iraq, but there was no trump card, so they had to "meet" with "Arab terror" at home. These do not disdain anything.
      There was a rapprochement between Russia and Turkey, a tragedy occurred with our ambassador and the plane.

      The USA always creates a media background before events. Always!!! I suppose now all the American media are spinal-washing the Americans about how Turkey has become the killer of "democracy" and how sooner it is necessary to "help" the Turkish people with "democracy".

    Most likely they will settle the conflict, but the sediment will remain for a long time.

    I read the comments and express my personal opinion. Of course this is not Erdogan (his special services) "organized" the attack for all his hot temper and rancor. And the Americans don't need it. But the "friends" of Erdogan, the Kurds, could easily do this in order to once again push the head of the Turkish head against the Americans.
