Six questions to Sultan Erdogan
Remember Vysotsky:
“If a friend suddenly turned out to be not a friend, and not an enemy, but - so.
If you don't know right away if it's good or bad.
Pull the guy into the mountains, take a chance, don't leave him alone.
Let him be in one with you, there you will understand who he is.
This song is often remembered when we start talking about “friendly relations with some countries, for example, with Turkey and China. And not a friend, and not an enemy, but - so. I once quoted this to the Celestial Empire (The Chinese "ally" is neither a friend nor an enemy, but - so ). Now I'm quoting about the Turks.
Immediately after the start of the NWO, when the collective West began to impose sanctions against Russia, Turkey announced that it would not impose sanctions.
- said the official representative of the President of Turkey Ibrahim Kalin.
And the benefit of not breaking off relations with the Russian Federation is direct for Turkey. The former Ottoman Empire today keeps the Great Turan project in mind and claims to be not just a regional, but in many ways an ideological moral leader - in territories many times larger than the lands of the Ottomans.
In this regard, I have only six questions for the leadership of Turkey, or rather, personally for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who does not even hide his desire to acquire a status similar to that of a sultan.
Question one. Who does Turkish Stream work for?
Turkey receives gas via Turkish Stream. Having received this gas pipeline, Turkey has become a major gas hub. In 2018, in a May 21 Sberbank CIB report on Russian oil and gas companies, analysts Alexander Fek and Anna Kotelnikova concluded that Turkish Stream would cost Gazprom $50 billion and would not pay off even in XNUMX years.
They call the main beneficiaries of the project the contractors of Gazprom for the construction of export gas pipelines Stroygazmontazh Arkady Rotenberg and Stroytransneftegaz (about 50% belong to Gennady Timchenko and his family). After the appearance of this report, Alexander Fek and the head of the analytical division Alexander Kudrin were fired from the company.
However, no evidence was given that analysts had taken the price of the gas pipeline and its unprofitability out of thin air. As the saying goes, believe it or check it out. But the fact that the Turks receive our gas at a big discount is a fact.
According to Alexander Frolov, Deputy Director General of the National Energy Institute, Ankara bargained everything that was possible from Gazprom, and now it receives gas at a phenomenally low price. Moreover, Turkey has already decided that it can become an intermediary in the sale of Russian gas to the European Union (EU) countries if the direct purchase of fuel from the Russian Federation is banned. But selling, of course, will be many times more expensive than buying.
Question two. Why is Russia building a nuclear power plant in Turkey at its own expense?
The nuclear power plant will generate electricity for Turkey for 60 years. It is planned that it will provide 10 percent of Turkey's electricity needs. The station is worth $20 billion. The money is paid by Rosatom.
At one time, on the pages of the Military Review, it was very convincingly shown that this was very beneficial for Rosatom (How is the Russian atom sold?). To a large extent, because, having paid in advance, more precisely, lending to the customer, the nuclear corporation as a result has the opportunity to choose both the final financial terms of the transaction, and the necessary conditions and convenient terms for the implementation of the project.
And further. Many Turkish companies operate in Russia today: in the banking sector, light industry, construction, production of auto components and other sectors. On August 5, at a meeting in Sochi, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to increase trade to $100 billion a year. And everything would be fine. But!
Question three. Is there really nothing personal in dealing with Bayraktars, and is it just business?
And it is an absolutely coincidence that the technical director and co-owner of Baykar Makina is the son-in-law of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey is actively supplying Drones to Ukraine, despite the "friendship" with Russia.
Moreover, the Turkish company bought a plot in Ukraine for the construction of a plant for the production of Bayraktarov. The company intends to implement the project without fail, since
- TASS quotes the Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey, Bodnar.
Earlier, the CEO of the Turkish manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles Baikar Makina, Haluk Bayraktar, said that the company would not sell drones to Russia.
- he said.
Question four. Why is Turkey constantly fueling the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh?
Long before the current events, back in 2020, there was direct and undeniable evidence of Turkey's participation in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh by anyone and nowhere. Russia continues to oppose the escalation of tensions.
Yerevan claimed that it was the Turkish Air Force that shot down the Armenian Su-25 attack aircraft, which was at that moment in the airspace of its country, and later the entire control of the air operation of Azerbaijan in Karabakh was transferred to Ankara.
At the same time, The New York Times published a satellite image of the airport in Azerbaijan's Ganja, which showed two F-16 fighter jets. The planes are said to belong to the Turkish Air Force. Did it happen by chance too? It turns out that Azerbaijan is indeed a friend of Turkey.
Question five. Why do Turks behave in Adjara as on their own territory?
And not only - why does Ankara continue its soft political and economic expansion into "greater Georgia"?
Is this not a sign of impending Turkish interference in the internal affairs of Abkhazia and South Ossetia?
Question six. What prevented Turkey from the legitimate president of Syria?
The Syrian vector of Turkish foreign policy, as shown by the ongoing operation in the province of Idlib, is quite unambiguously aimed at contributing to the fall of legitimate power in Syria.
There are big doubts connected with this issue that Turkey really consistently adheres and will adhere to the tripartite agreements of Moscow - Tehran - Ankara regarding Syria.
