Turkey outraged by US decision to lift arms embargo to Cyprus

78

The American decision on Cyprus has sparked outrage in Turkey. We are talking about the decision of the American administration to abandon the previously imposed embargo on the supply weapons Cyprus.

Washington's decision to lift the embargo was announced by the head of the US Department of State Mike Pompeo. The ban on the supply of weapons to Cyprus by the United States of America has been in effect for more than 30 years - since 1987.



Then the embargo imposed by the United States was associated with the need to promote the unification of the island after the Turkish occupation of its northern part. The very introduction of Turkish troops into the northern part of the island took place in the 1970s. Northern Cyprus declared independence from the rest of Cyprus and today Ankara supports this independence.

In Turkey, they say that the very emergence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus occurred after the Greek population of the island attacked the areas of compact residence of Turkish Cypriots.

An attempt to unite the administrative divisions of Cyprus has been under way for decades. In 2004, a referendum was held in Cyprus on the unification of the island based on the principles voiced by the UN. Voting by the Greek Cypriots turned out to be a protest. While in the Turkish part of the island the majority of residents voted in favor, the Greek part of Cyprus voted against - about 75%.
To date, the independence of Northern Cyprus is recognized only by Turkey, which does not recognize the legitimacy of the authorities of the rest of the island.

The United States says that if during the long-term embargo on arms supplies to Cyprus, no progress has occurred to de-escalate the conflict between the South and the North, then the ban on arms supplies is meaningless. And so the ban is lifted.

In Turkey, such a step is considered capable of leading to incitement of an armed conflict on the island, where the situation has remained calm recently.

                        It disintegrated ... but rather quickly over the course of several years it was recreated back and fought several more wars after that, winning the most important of them in 1945.
                        Tell us about the military successes of the Turkish troops in the wars with the world powers for the last 100 years, say. Feats in the form of regular (once every 10 years) military coups in your own country and punitive operations against Kurdish peasants should not be offered

          If the Turks continue to be impudent, they will lose both Europe and the United States. And these are factories of European and American manufacturers in Turkey. They will be denied access to European and American technologies. They will cut in sanctions, an embargo on the military, the borders will be closed. The Greeks, if there is a conflict with the Turks, will not be left alone. Because with the Turks - because of Erdogan, all European leaders do not get along.
          If the Turks open the borders for refugees, then the Europeans will have no choice but to close them with the military and deport everyone who tries to cross them. This has already been done in the past by the Hungarians and Greeks. Accordingly, the Turks will lose billions of euros for the maintenance of rabies, they will receive even more sanctions. The Americans will close their bases in Turkey anyway. It is the matter of time . At one time the Germans left Injerlik with the “Patriots”, because of the boorish attitude of the Turks, whom they defended. The Americans are next in line. The Pak have their own problems with the Indians, to climb into a conflict with the Europeans and Americans over the Turks? - Very doubtful.

Not in terms of territories. Not in terms of logistics. And a billion dollars for the millions of refugees in Turkey does not make the weather. Why? and YOU read how much the international bank gives dough for the Euro zone for 1 refugee. You will understand me.

              Not just important, but necessary. All their technologies are European, American. Europe is a huge market for Turkish products. If the Americans and Europeans move their factories from Turkey, then the Turkish economy will be covered with a copper basin. If, in addition, Israel blocks the transit of Turkish goods to the Arabian Peninsula through the port of Haifa, then the Turks will bend completely. The Turks now have troubles with all the countries of the region, except maybe Qatar and half of Libya.

      The whole trick is in this dispute, which will end in a war, it seems to me that this is almost inevitable due to the rich oil and gas resources found here. In the fight for control over them, no one wants to retreat. In an effort to "stake out" its rights to the gas-rich sea shelves, Turkey reached an agreement with Libya, and the Greeks, with Egypt. But Turkey does not recognize the Greek-Egyptian treaty on the delimitation of borders, and the Greeks do not recognize the treaty of the Turks ... The Germans got alarmed - rushed to reconcile them, but so far it is not very successful! There are also Turkish historical ambitions, which from ancient times believed that the borders were not fairly drawn ... And the Americans here, too, act according to the classical scheme - divide and rule! They especially need, by heating up this conflict, to influence Merkel through it ... In short, "The Anglo-Saxons are crap" is not just a meme ("An Englishwoman crap"), but constantly, historically confirming action!

            What were their names? Nobody called them, this is possible only at the General Council of Europe. And there they were given demands that the Turks, or rather the government, are not very willing to fulfill. Well, there is also a territorial conflict. The EU does not shine for them.

            Turkey was given a chance to start negotiations on entering the EU. But no one in Europe will tolerate a medieval under-sultanate. And therefore turn from the gate. And so Turkey has broken relations with absolutely all significant states of the world and it has no unconditional friends. There the Azeri sixes do not count ... but will quarrel with Russia, Shtami, the EU, Jews and Saudis - this talent must be had ... and if Erdogan starts a serious war, then this time Turkey will disappear altogether and the Russians will have a chance again to take Constantinople as a contingent of peacekeepers, which is very joyful for me. In general, I will give a banquet for joy ...

      Greece and Cyprus are now in the US pack.

      when people get used to the fact that there is no US pack.
      There is the USA and the rest - "inferior races".
      1. The United States absolutely does not care who supplies weapons - if only the money goes. In addition to real opponents (Russia, China).
      2. It is very good if at the same time a bloody booze flares up - you can sell more.
      3. In steeped porridge, muddy water, you can catch tasty fatty additional fish - Afghan drug trafficking, Syrian oil.
      4. Along with clause 3, you can distribute sanctions, create coalitions, then change / reformat them. today some "allies", tomorrow others, who were yesterday's enemies.

      The noble goal is to stay on top of this fetid, self-made pile for as long as possible.

      Trumpusha is breaking a harmonious policy, eroding the foundations of the world order built by the Americans. One can only rejoice laughing

      It's just that the system of sanctions, international law in general, arms control are the dictates of the powerful.
      And those who have strong positions, long-term planning and inevitable punishment for violating their will.

      And then everything starts to crumble, even the allies do not understand where to go to sail in the channel of the United States. Impulsiveness and inconsistency, loss of moral and value orientations are alarming symptoms for the United States. In many ways, manifested recently ...

        There is no problem to leave, it is more difficult to return, and therefore they will use every chance to keep their base in Turkey. Erdogan will not last forever, and Turkey will remain in the same place and it is too wasteful and shortsighted to close the base because of one person, even the mattresses understand this. They are like cockroaches, if they start up, then you will bring out the figs, and it remains only to either poison them all without exception with dichlorvos, or burn them together with the hut, otherwise there is no other way.

    Turkey is outraged by the US decision to lift the embargo on arms supplies to Cyprus.

    Useless indignation. Now the United States will begin supplying its weapons there, or will deploy its base.

    The United States says that if during the long-term embargo on arms supplies to Cyprus, no progress has occurred to de-escalate the conflict between the South and the North, then the ban on arms supplies is meaningless. And so the ban is lifted.

    Mind-blowing, purely American logic. fool

    Divide and rule. The United States does not hesitate to manipulate even its "allies" for its own benefit. It didn't work out with the Kurds - the United States threw the Kurds under the Turkish ice rink. It didn't work out with the Gulen rebellion - let's approach from the side of Greece. Something tells me that the Greeks knew if they accepted the fugitive rebels, sentenced them for violating the border for 2 months, but refused to extradite Turkey. If it does not work to bend Erdogan here, then what? Another Balkan mess, as always leading to a world war !?

      Well, not with four legs, but one, with which he kicks the Kurds, and the other got stuck in Libya. But we are not officially present in Libya. Prime Minister Jovushoglu stuck a knife in his back (he himself admitted), hoping to move the Sultan off the throne, but he himself flew from the prime minister's post. On Crimea, he has the same position as we have on Crete - we do not recognize Turkey's protectorate over its northern part, and Turkey does not recognize Crimea as ours. The fact that he put 6 Bayraktars on the dill, they don't make much of the weather, moreover, we are not at war with Ukraine. Even Bulgarians are now throwing off weapons there, not to mention mattresses. One Bayraktar ukrovoiny already stuck into the ground with their own crooked hands, transferring to the category of donor for the remaining five.
