Islamic wars. Turkey in the ring of ill-wishers

"Zero neighbors without problems"


Among the circle of the Turkish Republic, only Azerbaijan maintains a tolerant attitude towards the personality of Erdogan. This, of course, is backed up by diplomatic and military patronage in the manner of an older brother, which has already caused bloodshed in Nagorno-Karabakh. Without the sanction and active support of Turkey, Azerbaijan would never have dared to commit aggression, in which it could get bogged down for more than one month. Such patronizing attitude of Ankara towards Baku is explained by the factual absence of serious foreign policy ambitions of Ilham Aliyev.

The war in Nagorno-Karabakh was another step in the rapidly deteriorating relations of the Turkish leadership with its neighbors. In this case, Erdogan's support for the conflict seriously hits the influence of Russia in the Caucasian region and, which is important, discredits the Russian weapon. Still, constantly flashing footage of destruction by precision weapons and drones-kamikaze equipment of Soviet and Russian origin does not in any way add chances to domestic weapons in world markets. So far, Turkey's dodgy policy does not seek open conflict with Russia. It is quite possible that in the near future we will see the next steps towards Moscow.



Erdogan, obviously, very much believes in the strength of his own state and collects enemies for himself like pearls in a necklace. Many of the conflicts, which had died down for many years, flared up with renewed vigor. In the Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey rushes to offshore hydrocarbons, ignoring the protests of the local host, Greece. Skirmishes on the water have not yet reached the point of bloodshed, but the sailors are no longer ashamed to ram a friend. Recall that quite a hot, sluggish conflict is going on between NATO member countries, and so far few can predict its outcome. Egypt, which can in no way be called a partner of Turkey, has repeatedly stated about the possible support of the Greeks in the event of Erdogan's aggression.

In addition to Israel, with which almost every Muslim country is at enmity, Erdogan is not shy about militant remarks. It is scary to resort to active action: after all, the supposed nuclear power is in the adversaries. But the Turkish leader allows himself to threaten his own people with plans to liberate Jerusalem. However, as well as support the Palestinian militants. From the same opera, the assertion of one's own greatness in the Islamic world was the transformation of the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. No matter how they say that this is an internal matter of Turkey, such a step by Erdogan is clearly seen as flirting with his own electorate, as well as a provocation for external forces.

Ankara managed to quarrel with Tehran as well. Despite the fact that Iran and Turkey are participating in the Astana process of resolving the conflict in Syria (Russia is also in the game), the goals of the countries seriously differ. In fact, Erdogan is now in northern Syria providing the livelihoods of a mass of inveterate thugs-terrorists, with whom both Iran and Russia are fighting. Some of these barbarians fostered by the Turks are now fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Turkey's relations with Saudi Arabia, which claims to be the leader of the entire Islamic world, are also not developing in the best way. In fact, Erdogan's secret services framed Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman when they helped to capture opposition journalist Jamal Khashoggi. No one in Turkey resisted his murder, the unfortunate was actually taken into a trap, prudently equipping the Arabian embassy with eavesdropping equipment. As a result, Khashogi is tortured and dismembered, Turkey is the blood enemy of the Saudis, and the authority of Mohammed bin Salman, who gave the order to kill the journalist, will never be restored.

About stories Erdogan's constant provocation of the United States is now not only lazy. It seems that Ankara's relations with the most important country in the NATO clan can be restored only with a change in the Turkish leadership. And this is not even visible on the horizon. Of the last News on the front of Turkish aggression, Erdogan's attacks on Macron began. According to the Turkish President, the French leader "needs treatment for his psyche" because of the intention to organize a structure in Paris to create "enlightened Islam." And again the conflict, and again with the NATO country.

With all this, the immoderate ambitions of the Turkish leadership do not at all match the military-political potential. To put it simply, Turkish troops look very modest in ground operations. Everyone remembers what the operation to restore the former greatness of the Ottoman Empire in northern Syria cost the local tankers in 2016. Then Erdogan managed to break the resistance of the terrorists only by building up a gigantic superiority of forces.

Mohammed bin Zayed vs Recep Erdogan


The odious leader quarreled with everyone around him. And a coalition is being created around it. Now, not the most friendly regimes have a reason to be friends against someone. In a political game in the Middle East, always characterized by special passions, Israel has signed an unprecedented agreement to normalize relations with the United Arab Emirates. It can be read, among other things, as the creation of the first coalition against Turkish expansion. Erdogan was particularly irritated by the mediation of another antagonist, Donald Trump, in this process. The latter, in the best tradition of diplomacy, tweeted:

“Huge breakthrough! A historic peace agreement between our two great friends: Israel and the United Arab Emirates! "

For the sake of fairness, I would like to note that the treaty was intended to cool down the expansion of another serious player in the Islamic world - Iran. Tehran accused the signatories of the treaty of "strategic stupidity", and Ankara called Abu Dhabi's actions "a betrayal of Palestinian interests." It seems that it is the United Arab Emirates that are becoming the leading force in the confrontation with the Turks. And here comes the personality of Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. He has long spoiled Erdogan's nerves, either supporting an attempted coup in Turkey or accusing Ankara of violating Syrian sovereignty. All the political and diplomatic activity of Mohammed bin Zayed in recent years allows the West to view him as one of the few negotiable leaders. Saudi Arabia with its radical views repels many, but the UAE looks quite secular, and even Turkey has time to show its teeth.

Mohammed bin Zayed, as best he can, through third countries, influences the expansion of Turkey. In Syria, he promised many, many billions to Assad for the resumption of hostilities in Idlib. The new carnage with unpredictable consequences was interrupted only by Moscow: after all, the agreement with Turkey must be observed. In turn, Ankara successfully supports the Libyan government in the confrontation with Khalifa Haftar, who is financed from Abu Dhabi and is a personal friend of Mohammed bin Zayed. Here, by the way, Turkey acts on completely legal grounds and is even supported in this by the UN. Therefore, it is too early to talk about any decisive diplomatic advantage of Abu Dhabi, it is, rather, about a mutual dive. However, a precedent for the unification of the UAE and Israel into a coalition has been created and, quite possibly, other countries will join it, albeit informally.

Turkey will finally drive itself into isolation, which will not be easy to cope with. It is interesting that Russia now has a serious influence on the balance of power, balancing between warring groups. In many ways, the disposition in the Middle East depends on which side Moscow will take. Ankara has seriously spoiled the Russian agenda by supporting Baku's aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh and is likely to wait for another act of "soft power" from Moscow.

        ... Turkey in the ring of ill-wishers

        And who wants to be friends with an aggressive and inadequate state, which at any moment can stick a knife in the back!

        ... Among the encirclement of the Turkish Republic only Azerbaijan maintains a tolerant attitude towards Erdogan's personality.

        Not true. How much Vladimir Vladimirovich did for his friend Erdogan, nobody did. Whether Azerbaijan is capable of this after the downing of the plane and the murder of the plenipotentiary ambassador - I strongly doubt it.

        Oh, Vladimir Vladimirovich chooses the wrong friends! From such all normal shy away.

          100%, I remember what the sentiments were here at the forum in 2015, when Turkey openly shot down our Su-24 and how pro-Turkish militants shot Oleg Peshkov ... then they almost threatened Turkey with war, they offered to strike at Turkish military facilities, air bases etc. and as Putin spoke, "Turkey will not get off with tomatoes," "A knife in the back," and so on, and how quickly our people backed down. And they began to build nuclear power plants in Turkey, sold the S-400 (to a NATO country!), Built a gas pipeline - which Turkey does not need now, and every year it reduces gas purchases from us, and the entire current Russian policy towards Turkey is surprising (mildly speaking) and not understanding, the GDP probably already has no free space on its back, but the policy towards Turkey does not change ...

            The nuclear power plant in Turkey belongs to Rosatom and the Turks pledged to buy electricity at a certain, rather high, price.
            Instead of the S-400, Erdogan could buy a Patriot. And so Turkey still took off from the F-35 program.
            Built a gas pipeline to sell his gas. The Turks are obliged to buy it at a certain price, but because of the fall in natural gas prices, it is more profitable for them to buy from other sellers.
            Most importantly, Turkey is splitting NATO and the EU. And that outweighs all the cons. Zhirik said on TV that the Turks are cannon fodder that the Europeans (primarily the British) used against Russia. And why fall for this bait again? Let the Turks fight the Greeks and the French, and the British, who have preferred to stay in the background for the last decades, support them. The pressure on Russia and Belarus will ease.

              Of course, Turkey's problems with NATO play into our hands, but the revival of Turkey in the format of the new Ottoman Empire, at the expense of our former territories, is far from in our interests. For example, take military-technical cooperation between Turkey and the CSTO countries, Turkey offers them its military equipment, they buy it, and thus our military-industrial complex is squeezed out and the purchase of our military products is reduced, then preparations are underway to create an army of Turan, for example, Azerbaijan is already in Turkey's orbit , Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are already in the process ... + Turkey's cultural expansion into Central Asia is taking place, based on the unification of all Turkic peoples, and this is not a joke + with the strengthening of Turkey's influence, the population in this region is being radicalized, and in the future this can seriously affect our North Caucasus, and this is a question of the security of our state. And no joint projects will replace the fact that our sales markets are being taken away from us (now military products, further with the strengthening of Turkey's influence, these will also be other goods, for example, the sale of hydrocarbons to the EU, to Central Asia, after all, Erdogan got into Libya, Azerbaijan for a reason + is fighting for gas reserves in the sea with Greece and Cyprus, and purchases from Qatar must be taken into account, the Qatar + Azerbaijan + Turkey tandem is an application to oust Russia from the market, of course Turkey has enough problems with the EU there, but if the choice is Russian gas or an alternative, we must say what the EU will choose?), then the United States, in their interests, the creation of a new Ottoman Empire to counter in Asia: Russia and China. Therefore, the situation is very serious ... and especially in the security sector in the Caucasus.

                Absolutely right. I will just add that Qatar is not a country, it is a British gas company. Whoever believes that Turkey is fighting against everyone is categorically mistaken. Turkey is fighting specifically against France and Russia, in alliance with Britain, the tacit support of Germany and Italy.

                I have just read an article in "Free Press": Alexander Borodai: Russian volunteers are ready to go to war in Nagorno-Karabakh.
                Well, the flag in hand.
                I liked how one of the guests of the TV show said: Pan-Turkism is the same crap as Pan-Slavism. These brothers are Slavs: Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Poles and maybe soon Belarusians. Such brothers that enemies are not needed with them.
                Deputies, political analysts on TV shows say that the same events are expected in Russia as it is now in Belarus. But it is unclear how the government is preparing for them. And it works hard:
                The government of the Russian Federation introduced new rules for the sale of medicines, now all supplies and sales of medicines must go through registration in the electronic state system MDLP. Continuous disruptions in the operation of this system have led to delays and disruptions in the supply of drugs to pharmacies throughout the country.

Now on the Su-24. that is, to shoot down our bomber, the pilot personally requested permission from the president? Are you sure? Erdogan himself told you about this?

              Again. The ambassador was killed by a terrorist. The plane was shot down by the pilot, who acted on his own. Our reaction followed. The Turks themselves went to the test. And that we should have unleashed a war with a NATO country because of the stupid actions of one pilot? After settling all the issues, normal trade began.

          Yes, Aliyev himself is already in BIG debtors before Erdogan!
          How will Aliyev - respectively, Azerbaijan and Turkey - settle accounts with Erdogan for the victory in the civil war of Azerbaijanis against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh? This is a different question.
          But one thing is clear in the answer that Aliyev (Azerbaijan) will pay with Erdogan (Turkey) from the state pocket and the surrender of political positions from Azerbaijan to Turkey.
          Definitely it will oil, Islamization countries, Azerbaijani "cannon fodder", replacement of the indigenous population of Azerbaijan by Turks etc.

          So in terms of returning debts from other countries of Turkey, Erdogan is not that "bankrupt" yet and will withdraw his Turkish gesheft from Azerbaijan in full and even with a hook!

Germany and Italy are semi-poker players, in words one thing, in fact another, Turkey does not oppose their global interests.

    Turkey in the ring of ill-wishers
    A strange ring, honestly. In the north, from Bulgaria to Greece (inclusive), there is somehow no smell of ill-will. So it's never a ring, but ... a half-ring. And if the author himself says that in Libya "by the way, Turkey acts on completely legal grounds and is even supported in this UN", then it is somehow indecent to talk about the ring.
    Among the environment of the Turkish Republic, only Azerbaijan maintains a tolerant attitude towards the personality of Erdogan
    And where did Russia go? Putin also seems to have a good attitude towards Erdogan. Akkuyu is building to the Turks, the Turkish Stream (empty) sbatsal. Peace-friendship-chewing gum. And, well, Putin also adjusted the S-400 to Erdogan.
    discredits Russian weapons. Still, the constantly flickering footage of the destruction of equipment of Soviet and Russian origin by high-precision weapons and kamikaze drones does not add any chances to domestic weapons on world markets
    A striking example of an owl pulling on a globe. Zooprotective community negodue. And, well, Putin also adjusted the S-400 to Erdogan. It also somehow does not look like discrediting Russian weapons.
    Ankara managed to quarrel with Tehran
    And when, I wonder, did Ankara and Tehran have everything Vas-Vas?
    With Saudi Arabia claiming to be the leader of the entire Islamic world
    The same story as with Tehran - contenders for the role of leader in the Islamic world are rivals by definition.

      But who, in turn, keeps the Turks for their "Janissaries" is the United States. The maximum that Erdogan allowed himself was to turn off the "light" on Inzhirlik. I could have lost my skin during the putsch.

      The most important thing for us is not to succumb to the Armenian provocations and not to get into the village. which they brewed.
      The Armenians really want Russia to drag chestnuts out of the fire for them. They made such a mess with a long-range scope, and even at the request of the American and British special services. Who really need a fire in the south of Russia, plus a massacre where Russia and Turkey will beat each other FOR THE JOY of the Anglo-Saxons. And the Armenians will add kerosene, they are great masters of this. For the fact that the Anglo-Saxons promised to support them in the Karabakh conflict. The Anglo-Saxons have long-standing oil interests there.
      And they promised to help the Armenians like a bone in the creation of a "great Armenia" from sea to sea, as the Catholicos of Armenia bequeathed Vozgen, it seems in 1988.

    In a political game in the Middle East, always characterized by special passions, Israel signed an unprecedented agreement to normalize relations with the United Arab Emirates.

    ABOUT! For the first time in an article on VO such an important event was mentioned. Progress on the face! Although right there and "Attached to Israel, with which almost every Muslim country is at enmity ..."
    Apparently, it's time to announce that new winds are blowing in the Middle East, that a normalization agreement has already been signed with Bahrain.
    Just a few days ago, Sudan and Israel reached an agreement to normalize relations. This is the same Sudan that played a large role in the ongoing war against Israel and was used by terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas as fertile ground for terrorist activities against Israel, known for its three Khartoum "NO": “ there is no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with it ... "
    It is quite possible that at least five other Muslim and Arab countries will follow the example of the UAE, Bahrain and Sudan and formalize relations with Israel after the US presidential elections in early November. One of these countries is Saudi Arabia, which also played an important role in the process that led to the normalization of relations with the UAE and Bahrain. It's understandable why Erdogan is so angry about this.

    I have already noted more than once the recklessness of the step of selling such weapons as the S-400 to one of Russia's main competitors in relation to political claims in the Middle East and North Caucasus.
    Official Ankara did not and does not recognize the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia.
    Turkey's position has remained unchanged since the beginning of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in 2014.
    “We perceive Ukraine as a key country in terms of the security and stability of our region. And within this framework, we have always supported, supported and will continue to support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea,” Erdogan was quoted as saying by Interfax.


    Erdogan, speaking on Wednesday, October 28, before the parliamentary faction of the ruling Justice and Development Party, said:
    "The Russian attack on the opposition training camp in the Idlib region indicates a lack of desire for sustainable peace and tranquility there."


    He also announced the readiness of the Turkish authorities to conduct a new operation in Syria:
    "Threats from Syria towards our country continue. Recently, terrorists who were preparing terrorist attacks on our territory were neutralized ... If the terrorists do not move away from our borders, we will move on to action," Erdogan said, stating that the Turkish army is capable "cleanse Syria of all terrorist organizations"

    Erdogan perfectly understands the attitude of his neighbors, the Turks, during the empire, slaughtered all the conquered peoples to the maximum, and the neighbors on their own territory To dream that after that everyone would voluntarily go under the new sultan is at least naive. Therefore, he is moving to the northeast, on the territory of the former Union and to our republics. This, in his opinion, is a new reserve for the Turan army, those peoples that have never been under the Turks. The childish infantilism of some people from Azerbaijan is surprising, they were told that they are brothers and they are ready to rush into their arms with joy, giving oil, brides and young soldiers for new seizures, while losing an independent state, which they received for the first time in history thanks to the Soviet Union.
    And one more thing: the protest of Erdogan's neighbors against the claims to their territory is not at all surprising, and the complete nihilism of our government in response to the obvious unambiguous encroachments on our lands and the lands of our friends is very surprising.

    Only the lazy is not talking about the history of Erdogan's constant provocation of the United States. It seems that Ankara's relations with the most important country in the NATO clan can be restored only with a change in the Turkish leadership.
    And here there is a question - the "tension" in relations is too demonstrative. In addition, the US bases in Turkey are still there. Does anyone have doubts that the issue of Erdogan's "departure" can be resolved by the United States radically and quickly by presenting / substituting some Kurds, Syrians, or even "revolutionaries" from the Colombian FARC as executors? However, nothing like that happens, so what? And the fact that this is their "s_u_ki_in san" is 100%, and what we see is nothing more than a demonstration, it remains to understand its goals. By the way, the "coup", which was allegedly warned from the Russian Federation, is more similar to a fake one, the appearance of which Janissary used to destroy his opponents in the army and law enforcement agencies, and in order to make it believable, the ambassador of the Russian Federation was overwhelmed, and this terrorist attack was attributed to the conspirators, as well our Su-24.
