The United States expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Russia "uses" Turkey to circumvent sanctions

32

Turkish President


The day before, US First Deputy Treasury Secretary Adewale Adeyemo met with his Turkish counterpart Yunus Elitash, where the parties discussed anti-Russian sanctions.



At the meeting, the US representative expressed concern about Russia's attempts to circumvent sanctions with the help of Turkey. The United States decided to discuss with Turkey the possibility of strengthening control over compliance with anti-Russian sanctions.

The US Treasury Department in its message also duplicated the need to counter Russian organizations and individuals seeking to use Turkey to withdraw their assets.

After the introduction of Western sanctions against Russia, many Russian businessmen began to invest their finances in Turkey, which in fact did not join the sanctions. In addition, the Turks continue to actively cooperate with Russia in the energy sector.

This position of the Turks greatly irritates the West.

The British edition of the Financial Times recently reported that Western countries are considering imposing certain restrictive measures against Turkey in order to influence its position on anti-Russian sanctions. One such measure could be a call for Western companies to leave Turkey. However, experts in the field of economics are calling on the US administration to turn on the mind, think again. After all, the more actively the United States will impose its sanctions agenda, the more countries in the world will oppose this. Moreover, it is not clear in principle what the passage about the dissatisfaction of the United States with Turkey's position on the rejection of anti-Russian sanctions means. Or are they making it clear in the United States that they do not perceive Turkey as a sovereign state that has the right to independently decide what foreign policy to pursue?.. This passage is even less clear: the United States is unhappy that Russia is “using” Turkey to circumvent sanctions. Is it from the US own experience that they allow themselves to use independent states for their own purposes?

      Not so simple. Erdogan is not our friend or comrade. In Turkey, monthly inflation is now close to 80, last year the annual rate was 36 percent. All this pushes Erdogan to look for money, now he has found it in Russia, but if the States give more, he will calmly turn away from us

        How tired of the same. There are no friends in politics and Erdogan is a pro-Turkish politician. Of course, the interests of Turkey and Russia cannot completely coincide.

        May be. But it may be different: if the States give more, then the effendi can remember how the United States deceives and throws everyone around. Including closest friends. And how they can freeze, block, rob. And politically remove, and physically eliminate. And remember that they have already tried to do this with him. And remember that the American authorities still have nothing to love him for (which means that one should expect nasty things from America in any way). And it is logical to argue that one really received Russian ruble is better than ten dollars promised by America.

      Turkey is the second largest NATO army. So even if Erdogan publicly sends Biden on foot erotic, the Turks will be forgiven for everything.

    Turkey simply took the place that Belarus used to take. Moreover, Turkey, if they put pressure on it, has a much greater margin of safety - from the deployment of NATO bases and command to refugees in Europe, which it may well use.
    And the fact that Erdogan will do what is politically and economically beneficial to him is a fact. They will offer a fatter piece - tomorrow it will become an even greater enemy of ours than the Poles. But for now, it is beneficial for him to balance and raise his own price for each of the parties.

      It's just that the United States expected that if Turkey is a member of NATO, then the Turks will jump at the snap of their fingers in all matters. And then - oops!
      Py.Sy. And in general, what kind of dissatisfaction? Maybe Turkey WANTS to be used! ))) And the USA - CANNOT! )))

    And when they tried to bend the Turks through sanctions for the acquisition of the S-400, did they not express concern? Erdogan is a "bug" in politics, and therefore does what is beneficial to Turkey. When there are problems in a country with an economy to please the United States, abandoning trade, energy and tourism cooperation with Russia means digging an even deeper hole for yourself and the country.

      That is why it is difficult to deal with the chief Turk, but it is possible. Unlike the Germans since Merkel.

    If there is a ban on something, then there will always be loopholes to get around it ... The same states did not learn anything from the "dry law"!? Yes, and we did an excellent job with Gorbachev's "struggle for sobriety" ....
    But all these prohibitions never do without kookies and excesses ..... if they want, let them try to anger the Turks, maybe it will feel better .......
    Again, they will not punish Turkey themselves, but through "useful fools" - the EU ... a classic ...

    Maybe it is better for Western companies to immediately leave everywhere?

    Soon 3 signs of annual inflation in Turkey, it looks like the collapse of the economy. Russia continues to lend to the Turks, although they continue to argue that the Crimea is not Russia, to supply weapons to the fascists of Ukraine, to fight Russia. Until when will this happen?
    They will buy Russian air defense in order to resist NATO in a military conflict with GREECE. TO MAKE A MOSQUE FROM THE TEMPLE and so far, the Turks succeed in getting out of the water dry. We ask the Turks six questions, and things are still there.
