"If Turkey intervenes in Kashmir, we will send ships to the Aegean Sea" - at a seminar at the Indian Military Academy

62

India is reacting tough to the news that Turkey is ready to support Pakistan in the Kashmir issue. At the same time, the Indian press notes that there is evidence that Turkey is already providing some support to illegal armed groups in Kashmir.


The statement is given by the retired Major General of the Indian Armed Forces Gagan Bakshi, who at one time commanded a battalion (being in a different rank) during the Kargil War (the 1999 armed conflict between India and Pakistan).

A retired general at a seminar at the Indian Military Academy:

If Turkey intervenes in Kashmir, we will send our ships to the Aegean Sea.

It is noted that the dispatch of Turkish mercenaries to the borders of India causes deep concern in New Delhi. At the same time, India is celebrating the "dangerous game started by Ankara." In particular, it is said that Turkey has not previously opposed India militarily, and the new initiatives of the Turkish authorities are a "dangerous precedent."

Gagan Bakshi:

Our warships in the Aegean Sea could take part in joint exercises with the Greek Navy, which made it possible to increase coordination in military interaction with Athens. And then the Greek ships would be worth inviting for exercises in the Indian Ocean.

New Delhi is studying the option proposed by General Bakshi. In particular, he noted at the military academy that this could well serve as a signal for Turkey:

You don't need to cross the red lines in a relationship. This is a dangerous precedent from Turkey.

      He was pinched almost everywhere. From what he conceived, the real results are too meager, yet.
      Although, he needs to be given his due, with the resources that he has, he tried to do a lot, and even actually implemented something, he just crossed the road to too many, thereby affecting their interests.

        Why pinched? Pakistan has always said that the mountain is for Turkey. And Turkey has always said that the mountain is for Pakistan. And he climbs not because India is in Kashmir, and he does not care even though France will be there to him.
        Also Pakistan is a friend of China and Iran. And these are also strong regional powers. India is buried if it remains in a bad situation.
        A very powerful force is being formed here ...

          If India shoves a couple of brahmos across Turkey, then Pakistan will only shout and wave its hands. And NATO may shake a finger, and then if it considers that a reaction in the press is needed, because the defense order from India is more interesting to the Americans than a strong and whole Turkey.

      Erdogan offers help to Pakistan for an understandable reason - he wants to earn an atomic bomb. Very much.

      It seems to me that Turkey is deliberately pushed towards the east and behind these "pushers" the Anglo-Saxon face is clearly traced.
      The Hindus need to work more directly with the Turks, and not fly in the clouds with ridiculous threats. Swimming with the Greeks in the Mediterranean Sea is certainly interesting and perhaps even informative, but too small for a country that is trying to be something more than a regional power.

    Erdogan has a huge amount of "hot stuff" (refugees, militants, Islamists). And he has little choice. Either this "material" will be used by him, or it will be used against Erdogan and Turkey ... Once Russia, using similar tactics (directing the Cossacks and foreigners), gained control over Siberia and other "marginal lands". Now Erdogan is trying to follow this path. What will come of this we will see ...

    Erdogan has been a religious fanatic since childhood. Ataturk brought Turkey to the secular European world. Erdogan, on the contrary, returned Turkey to the rigid Islamic faith. His ambitions are endless. Revive the Ottoman Empire in any way, including military intervention. And for now, he succeeds. He decided to unite all Muslim countries, becoming their leader. And this is a belt from BV to Pakistan. It is pushed and promoted by England (USA). It will be a radical Muslim stratum between Russia, China, and India controlled by them. The Anglo-Saxons assign him the role of "Fuhrer of Islam", with unlimited power, primarily against Russia and China. Erdogan's vanity is satisfied. He no longer has any claims, either against the EU or the United States. He is ready to rule the entire Muslim world, knowing that NATO is behind him. Erdogan showed everyone that he has no brakes. It cannot be ruled out that he will bring the world no less grief than Hitler, who was also supervised by the British.

    * Erdogan - expansion of influence in the zone of his interests, development of the idea of ​​Pan-Turkism.
    * Restoring relations with the US, EU and NATO

    * Restoring relations with NATO, where they are almost sent directly
    * Restoration of the prestige of the American army, which has recently been scooping up with a shovel not even from the Iranian army, but from some poor, unsupported gangs in Afghanistan, who have won 80% of the country from the exceptional.

    Where are some radicals in modern Turkey? Erdogan, although an Islamist, is at the same time fully and unconditionally subscribed to Pan-Turkism, which means he is under the complete control of the forces that created this doctrine before modern Turkey emerged. If some political force controls the key doctrine of a certain state, it controls that state itself.

    Nothing changed.

    In 1914, Enver advocated a military alliance between Turkey and Germany and contributed to the involvement of Turkey in the First World War. During the war, he held the highest military post of deputy commander-in-chief, although formally the sultan was listed as commander-in-chief. During the battle of Sarikamish (Turkish Sarıkamış Harekâtı), in Western literature it is known as the Enver offensive, in the period December 9 (22), 1914 - January 5 (18) 1915, the troops of Enver Pasha were utterly defeated by the Russian army. laughing In 1914-1917, the Bolsheviks - in accordance with the slogan "Defeat their government in the war" - tacitly supported the pan-Turkist political project "Turan Yolu" (Road to Turan) - the project of Enver Pasha, Talaat Pasha, Nazim Bey and Ahmed Bey Agaeva. The ultimate goal of the pan-Turkists was to convince the Turkic-speaking population of the Caucasus, Iran, Crimea, the Volga region and Turkestan to secede from Russia or Iran and join the new mega-power Turan. In 1919, Enver met in Germany with the communist Karl Radek, who represented Soviet Russia. He decided to enter into direct, official contact with the Russian Bolsheviks and use the channels of communication between the German military circles and the Bolsheviks in order to organize and lead the struggle against Great Britain in Central Asia. Where is he the enemy of Russia? Enver Pasha was killed on August 4, 1922 in a battle with units of the Red Army in the village of Chagan, 25 km from the city of Baldzhuan on the territory of the Bukhara state (today the territory of Tajikistan). Chekist Georgy Agabekov in his memoirs describes an operation to find the whereabouts of Enver Pasha (Agabekov and his partner under the guise of merchants infiltrated the local population and, with the help of bribery, found out the location of Enver Pasha's headquarters) and quotes the report of the commander of the equestrian battalion who attacked Enver Pasha's headquarters: The headquarters of the Basmachi, led by Enver Pasha, rushed into the mountains, but stumbling upon a squadron sent to bypass, took up the battle. As a result of the battle, the enemy headquarters was destroyed. Only three managed to escape. 28 corpses remained at the battle site. Among them, Enver Pasha was also identified. His head and part of his body were blown off with a blow. The Koran was found next to him. "

    Enver Pasha's awards: Ottoman Empire: Order of the Medjidie 1st class Order of the Medjidie 3rd class Order of the Osmaniye 1st class (March 24, 1915) Order of the Osmaniye 3rd class Military medal (summer 1915) German Empire (Kingdom of Prussia): Order "Pour le Mérite" (23 August 1915) Oak leaves to the order "Pour le Mérite" (10 January 1915) Iron Cross 1st Class (26 February 1915) Iron Cross 2nd Class Chief of the Guards Fusilier Regiment (13 September 1916 ) Austria-Hungary: Military Merit Cross 1st Class

    Last Sunday, the Turkish diaspora in Europe shocked the European political community. She voted in favor of a draft amendment to the Turkish Constitution, which, according to Europeans, leads to the usurpation of power and the flourishing of authoritarianism. For example, in Germany, voters who came to the ballot boxes in 12 Turkish consulates gave President Erdogan 63,2% of their votes, which is significantly more than in Turkey itself. On the posters of the German Turks, the slogan "Who are we again?" The same picture was observed in other European capitals. In the Netherlands, 71% of the referendum voted in favor of the constitutional amendments, and it turned out that the good ideas of Europeans that they had taught Turks to value democracy were just an illusion. Moreover, the Turks feel like there is NO ONE in Europe, and Erdogan's nationalist rhetoric falls on fertile ground. And the growth of his influence in the world, the European Turks associate with the hope of becoming SOMETHING. laughing

    did not impress. As it is not military, more like folk dances. But the Turkish fleet cannot be discounted.

    And they always entered the conquered city like that. What did the Turks do to Turkishize foreigners:

    1.With the numerical domination of the Turks, small peoples assimilated by themselves, as happened with the clans of the Mongols
    2. Numerous peoples, such as the Iranians in Central Asia, were exterminated to a safe level and forced out to unfavorable places of residence, which deprived the conquered of the economic basis, forcing them to submit.
    3. Muslim Turks demanded acceptance of Islam, imposing repressive tax and legal regulations for non-Muslims. However, the Yakuts, Gagauz, Tuvinians and Chuvash retained their traditional beliefs, as they lived on the outskirts of Turkish possessions.
    4. The names of cities, rivers and countries were renamed in the Turkish manner: Prussa became Bursa, Nikeya-Iznik, Nicomedia-Izmit, Karmrik - Kyzylcha
    5. In many countries, for example in Armenia and Bulgaria, the Turks translated local names into Turkish and demanded that all important objects be renamed.
    6. Sultans, viziers, wealthy merchants kept large harems, where wives of different tribes were forced to communicate with each other in Turkish, and their children generally knew only this language.
    7.Turks and Muslims received huge tax breaks and this strongly stimulated the foreign population to quickly switch to the Turkish order. Almost all coastal Turkey is the former Byzantines who learned the new rules.
    8. The tax on boys for the non-Turkish population, assumed that they would grow up at court and be 100% Turkish in language and culture.
    9. Hundreds of thousands of men were delivered to the vilayets and became zealous Turks. -What did the Turks achieve in the end?
    A significant part of the population of Greece, the countries of the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova is of Turkish ethnic origin, and even more are Muslims and would have been ideally assimilated citizens during the Ottoman era.

    On the other hand, a clear attack on the history and culture of peoples caused fierce resistance, uprisings, which shook the empire and led to its fall in the end. Whether Armenians, Greeks or Bulgarians became Turks - of course not, but they got very bad relations

      on the 3rd point I do not quite agree. Despite additional taxes in the middle of the 17th century, Jews massively left for the Ottoman Empire. I cannot judge, but it seems to me that taxes were not repressive, they were taken on a massive scale. And at different times, depending on the ruler and the economic situation, there could be persecutions or not.
