"Turkey does not behave like a NATO ally": Macron announced "red lines" for Ankara

58

The French president has responded to Turkish claims over exercises that the French have undertaken jointly with Greeks and Cypriots in the eastern Mediterranean. Recall that Ankara accused Paris of violating the agreements on the military presence in Cyprus. Namely, several planes of the French Air Force arrived at the airbase in Cyprus earlier from France to participate in maneuvers. In response, Turkey has intensified its maneuvers in the eastern Mediterranean region.

Earlier, Turkey and France had mutual claims over the relationship to the conflict in Libya. It got to the aggressive actions taken by the crews of the warships of the Turkish and French navies.



Emmanuel Macron, commenting on the situation, said that Turkey's actions "are not like the actions of a NATO ally." Macron added that Turkey has been doing this for several years, ignoring allied relations within the North Atlantic Alliance.

From a statement by the French president:

I understand that Ankara only respects concrete actions. In this regard, we are ready to present to them (to the Turks) the "red lines" in the region. It comes to respecting sovereignty in the eastern Mediterranean, and my words must match the actions.

According to Emmanuel Macron, Turkey interferes in the affairs of Syria and Libya, and also comes into conflict with Greece. The French president added that this is "a reason to consider the issue of possible sanctions." What specific sanctions can be discussed, Macron did not say. But this statement has already caused outrage in Ankara.

            Well, what about Libya? When do emiratis constantly bomb the Turks? By the way, there is a lot of information that the Franks are also involved in this. He couldn’t take the Sirte, but the Franks have a lot of experience in slaughtering all kinds of natives. And the Turks took their last wars robustly. Where is the Ottoman Empire then? At one time, the Turks were saved from the Greeks only by the help of the Bolsheviks, who made peace with the Turks and helped them with the supply of weapons. In my opinion, in the case of a mass batch, the Turks will not be in the majority.
            Well, the most important thing is that the Sultan now does not care about the economy and a serious number of internal problems. The same army defeated after the putsch is not a fact that it does not want to get rid of him. Kurds again. Gulenists from FETA. And at night there were also attacks on Turks and pro-Turkish militants in Idlib. There are many pro-Saudi militants there, and the Saudis have a fucking boner on him after the Khashogi affair and the alliance with Qatar. The Sultan has too many fronts. It may overstrain.
            Child or not, the French army and navy are still a formidable force. And most importantly, they rely on the economy and the European military-industrial complex. The sultan will have to take them into account.

Turkey cannot resolve the issue with Greece on the islands - they are inhabited by Greeks, while they are 3-4 km from Turkey and a few hundred km from Greece. It seems like the Turkish shelf, but it seems not. So Turkey was simply driven into a corner and how it will end is unknown.

      Not quite so, in the 18th century the Ottoman Empire was actively supported by France (before the revolution), during the Napoleonic wars, Russia and Turkey, (during the campaigns of Suvorov and Ushakov), were allies, then the war of 1806-12 began with the support of Bonaparte, was extended by the British subsidies during the Peace of Tilsit, and at the end it was delayed with French support,
      After the Napoleonic Wars, the Ottoman Empire sometimes fights with Russia, then enjoys its support, then the "Crimean War", where it was the French troops who distinguished themselves, and the British were remembered for the Balaklava massacre, the failed assaults of Sevastopol and piracy on the seas adjacent to Russia
      After the defeat in the war of 1877-1878, Turkey came under German influence, and after the defeat in the First World War it became an ally of Soviet Russia, fighting with Greece, which was supported by the British.
      German influence in Turkey gives way to American influence only at the end of World War II
      So everything is much more complicated

      .Russia has repeatedly announced the end of active hostilities in Syria. And suddenly a general dies there, and his fellow officers are wounded. Russian aviation continues to bomb positions of militants in the Idlib de-escalation zone (ZD). And on the way of patrolling our servicemen, explosions occur regularly.

      A number of Telegram channels have published a confession of one of the pro-Turkish groups that claimed responsibility for this terrorist act. According to social networks, this was done by the "Group of revolutionaries in the lands of Deir ez-Zor" ("Tajamua as-Sairin fi Ard Deir ez-Zor"), which is part of the Syrian National Army (SNA). The headquarters of the SNA is in Turkey. Ankara-funded militants have already emerged in central Syria and in territories controlled by Assad's troops.

      In addition, it turns out that Turkey is only verbally coordinating its military actions with Russia, but in fact organizing military actions not only against the Syrian regime, but also against the Russian military personnel. It seems that this combat activity of Ankara will only grow. The Syrian Monitoring Center for Human Rights (SOHR) and Arab media reported that seven Turkish military convoys entered the Syrian Arab Republic (SAR) on August 19. The convoys include 450 vehicles and combat vehicles, as well as 2,5 thousand military. This is a whole military brigade. The de-escalation zone has already hosted at least 25 Turkish military bases and facilities with a total strength of up to 10 servicemen.

      In Arab and Kurdish social networks, it is noted that some units that entered the Idlib zone were involved in offensive operations. Turkish reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were also seen in the Greater Idlib area. Several Bayraktar TB2 UAVs flew over the administrative center of the region, as well as near the village of Nakhlaya.
