Turkish authorities offered to rebuild the port of Beirut "from scratch"

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

The Turkish authorities have made official Beirut an offer to provide assistance in connection with the explosion and its aftermath. According to the latest data, Turkey offers the Lebanese authorities to rebuild the port of Beirut "from scratch" and, as they say, "turnkey".

The corresponding statement was made today by the vice-president of Turkey Fuat Oktay.

From a statement by a Turkish official:

Turkey is ready to rebuild the seriously damaged port of Beirut and all adjacent buildings and infrastructure from scratch.

While construction works are going on, Ankara offers Lebanon to use the services of the port of Mersin. It is a large Turkish port located, like Beirut, on the Mediterranean Sea. Mersin is the second largest and transshipment port in Turkey after Ambarli, located near Istanbul.

Earlier, Turkish President Erdogan reportedly called Beirut and expressed his condolences to his authorities and people.

Fuat Oktay said Lebanon could use Mersin to handle a variety of goods, including food and other essential goods. In particular, it was proposed to supply grain to Lebanon through Turkish Mersin. Further cargoes are proposed to be delivered by land or by sea - in small batches to Lebanon. True, this raises the question: if by land, then the goods will have to be transported through the territory of Syria (this is the shortest route), including through Idlib. Are the Lebanese authorities ready for this? So far, official Beirut has not responded to the Turkish proposal.

and micron was the first to rush to Beirut and announced that reforms, a change of government were needed, then he would help the Lebanese.

Whether there was a copter or a rocket, it is not clear whether spontaneous combustion could actually have occurred. But the question is, who benefits?

Better to treat the wounded in Israel than to go to Beirut, it’s safer and will not be distracted by the security of the doctors.

Erdogan's desire is understandable, but I do not think that they will agree to this in Lebanon, the positions of France are too strong there, and Turkey does not need a strengthening of Turkey, and a large supply shoulder, it would be better through the ports of Syria, but that is under the sanctions of Western countries. So, I think that for transshipment of grain I will use the ports of other states, for example Israel, with which Lebanon has quite normal relations ...

[seregatara1969]

The Turks are the first builders, even the Chinese cannot do that. They build everything and everywhere, they do not have small projects, for them any project is beneficial

[sav]

The fact that the Turks are building everywhere is understandable. And it is just as clear that Turkey benefits here not only in earnings. The position of Israel is also interesting.

[Iris]

The decision is as expedient as it is non-trivial - it cannot be said that Israel's relations with Lebanon were COMPLETELY normal .. And what can we expect in terms of Hezbollah's representation in parliament? ..

Anything, up to and including a truce to resolve this specific humanitarian issue. On other issues, they will continue to fight.

[Iris]

The scenario is quite real: if we take Israel's consent as a constant, then this proposal drives Nasrallah into a dead end: many in Lebanon, to put it mildly, do not like him very much - first of all, the Christian and secular sector of the country. And his opposition to such assistance could put Hezbollah's representation in parliament and the organization itself as such to the brink of legitimacy. Therefore, in the event of such a development of events, he will have nowhere to go: to refuse is to act directly against the interests of Lebanon.

[Oquzyurd]

Last year, Armenians burned a Turkish flag on the streets of Beirut. In response, thousands of Arabs took to the streets of Beirut with Turkish flags, with slogans of brotherhood, and also accompanied by a Turkish march. The Lebanese did not forget the peacetime under the rule of the Ottomans, and did not forget literally yesterday. Indeed, until last year, Turkish soldiers in the UN were guarding the border and ensuring the security of the Lebanese border between Lebanon and Israel.

Perdogan has a real megalomaniac.

[Oquzyurd]

"Perdogan has a real megalomania." His name is Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey is a geographically close country to Lebanon, which means that delivery is fast and not expensive, he knows how to produce any construction material with high quality, from and to, has many advanced construction companies. greatness? Turkish companies are more profitable for Lebanon and Lebanese than Chinese or French.

[mitroha]

Well, then Lebanon is more profitable than Lebanese companies, for that matter. And to make the most of its citizens. Competencies are unlikely to be enough

[Oquzyurd]

"The competence is unlikely to be enough." Maybe the Lebanese themselves will, but it will take a long time and it will be expensive. In Lebanon, almost all construction materials are imported, they are bought. quickly, efficiently and cheaply. It is practically impossible to compete with them.

Maybe he will offer, not all at once.
Here we will find out other estimates and for a little less ...

[Oquzyurd]

Who will build, and where will the materials come from? The Turks were even invited to Sochi to build it. The wishes should coincide with the possibilities.

[dsaf]

Someone built the Crimean bridge, so ...
Turks too?
I don't know that we have problems with concrete and piles ...

[Oquzyurd]

"Someone built the Crimean bridge" Will you deliver concrete to Lebanon from Russia? The construction is not only concrete and reinforcement. And at least you know the price of the bridge?)) If the Lebanese port is built this way, then Lebanon will pay for the work until 2999

[dsaf]

Here's what I think - Erdogan wants his interests to be taken into account by Russia ?!
In a broad sense...
So let him share!

PS: in contracts!
Surely there is something for Russia too.

[Oquzyurd]

Certainly. Everyone lives in a small and round globe. Hostility does not bring benefits, only costs and grief. It would be necessary to throw the burden of "superiority" and cooperate. You can earn more, develop, and people will be whole.

Yeah, in conjunction with dozens of European companies.

Do you even believe in what you write yourself? ...
The Turks built a football stadium for the Armenian Galitsky better and cheaper than any of our stadiums built for the World Cup, and Zenit Arena is better not to remember.

The Turks will also build everything for the Lebanese and the attitude towards the Turks and towards Turkey in Lebanon is excellent. The one who wrote is right, as I understand a native of Azerbaijan, that only the Armenian part of the population stands apart. Well, this is understandable, especially since Lebanon is the homeland of the main Armenian terrorist organizations, including those that once staged terrorist acts against Turkish diplomats and diplomatic missions.

[Oquzyurd]

Yes, the Asala terrorists' nest in Beirut.

[dsaf]

I cannot argue substantively, unfortunately ...
Far from construction, the closest are overpasses and platforms on the bushes ...
Laying cables, etc.

But aren't your examples connected with the deliberate theft of businessmen close to the president?
Are there really no examples of normal, commercial construction?

And all Israeli humanitarian aid has been going through the Red Cross Committee for two days. We have all their regional warehouses in Haifa and Ashdod. Almost two thousand tons have already been sent - food, medicines, essential items, baby food, etc. There is also a port in Tripoli.

There is no doubt that they will build and hand over on a turnkey basis.
And the French have now organized an online petition with the hands of their fifth column. We are talking about the return of Lebanon under the protectorate of France .. I think it is better to let Turkey build a port than the return of the French to the BV.

[Oquzyurd]

In the last year, the French are not in themselves, in hysteria, because the Turks are economically, politically and armedly returning to the territories that were once taken by the French from the Ottoman Turks.

[Prisoner]

The Turks are building shitty. In the late 90s, they were building, and at the end of that ... they were built from the Russian Federation. And glory to Allah, and God, and Buddha. Usually the spetsura's foremen shine with their ears. I am not in a claim - everyone does it, but they are very hot.

This will not be the second question. But what happened there yesterday is already giving rise to thoughtfulness. One thing is for sure: There will be no quiet life there (well, everything is clear with the South, there are terrorists, but at least the north was relatively quiet.)

Hezbollah is ruled in Lebanon because there is a real military force on its side, well, once again they will give the rest.
will pause, but there will be no way out of the impasse.
Lebanon is a country that does not produce anything except drugs and tourism.
In complete default and in the absence of all prospects, Hezbollah is recognized as a terrorist organization of the Arab League and half of Europe.
They will not share their power, and they will not be given money with them (I mean real, and not so that they would not die of hunger) - and there is nothing to give them.
Will civil war start 7 I think not.
just another part will fade from the country, and the rest will continue to degrade.

The situation is no better because the close "dear friends" somewhere may not even "build" themselves; in other cases, the construction site was overlaid with flags. tribute, sitting in high offices. Moreover, often this tribute even formally looks like a blessing and has the status of completely official laws, orders and acts, and norms and rules.

And this is not his merit ...
Turkey was made a modern country by Kemalists and the military, not Islamists of all stripes, including Erdogan.
Only under Erdogan did the Turks gradually learn what corruption is, from small to large, etc., while under the Kemalists they almost forgot about it.

And in the proposal, for an hour, did not sound who will own the controlling stake in the port? This is only our soldiers for nothing restored the Lebanese road infrastructure after the Lebanese-Israeli war.

On the evening of August 8, protesters broke into the building of the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, located in the Ashrafiyah district in Beirut, RIA Novosti reported.

The protesters' posters read "Beirut - Demilitarized City" and "Capital of the Revolution".

A few hours earlier, tens of thousands of Lebanese gathered in the center of Beirut, in Al-Shahada Square, accusing the authorities that their negligence led to an explosion in the Beirut port. The participants are also chanting: "Hezbollah" - terrorists! "

The organizers of the action erected a gallows, hinting that the perpetrators should be punished. During the rally, dolls were hung from the gallows depicting the leader of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah and Lebanese President Michel Aoun.

There is nothing in this life for nothing, even if it is free at first glance. Turks will not do it for nothing either, but the choice is for the Lebanese, who understand that others will not be a gift either.
