Ankara sanctions against Damascus

15
Ankara sanctions against DamascusTurkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held a press conference on Wednesday morning, where he announced the start of the first cycle of sanctions that Turkey decided to impose on Syria to increase regional and international pressure on the Syrian administration, which used violence against its people, as well as to prevent the tyranny of the Syrians by the administration.

A brief review of these sanctions, designed with “extreme care” to cause minimal damage to innocent Syrians, shows that they deserve to be described as “reasonable sanctions”. I hope they are implemented with equal caution and sensitivity. Turkey has openly declared that it intends to act with extreme caution so that the measures it plans to apply against the Assad administration do not harm the Syrian people, since, in its conviction, people should not be punished for the mistakes of the Damascus administration.

Here is the result of Ankara’s economic sanction.

Economic strength declined to 50%.
Trade and investment fell by 50 percent.
The economy is expected to shrink from 12 to 20 percent this year.
Unemployment rose to 22%.
Revenues from tourism amounted to 6 billion, at this stage it is completely stopped.
Oil production fell from 368 thousand to 270 thousand.
14 private banks lost 2 billion dollars.

      In relation to Syria, the Turks are traitors. Erdogan tremp caught, and there was a time with Assad, friends weren’t spilled water. True, people say that friends in need know each other. Instead of Erdogan trying to sort things out with Assad, he really oil adds fuel to the fire. East, the case of the abomination ...

        What is friendship? Nothing personal, just politics ... They decided to curry favor, or to get something profitable from this.
        I wonder when they will "storm" Syria, like Libya?

        that's it, bows to America. Turkey is not a judge - it simply does the will of its stronger "friends". And they do not value human lives a single drop. A thousand more or a thousand less - what's the difference.

    There are no friends in politics! Superfluous proof is the sanctions of Istanbul against Damascus. Although everything is logical: Iran is a potential competitor, it is also an enemy of Turkey, and Syria is an ally of Iran and, accordingly, also becomes an enemy. Everything is predictable. And, if we take into account a sufficiently strong army, the Turks may well be preparing either an invasion or the organization of a "Security Zone" on the border with Syria.

    Yes, the thing is disgusting. But such would not have happened if the United States had unprotected Turkey. It seems to me that Turkey’s activity is not good. The United States is beneficial to make Turkey a regional power in the Arab world, so that there is a counterweight to both the SCO and other countries in the region. Cleverly, and then the United States, Turkey will begin to solve its global problems, tovobot to get rid of shit there. If the US plan turns out to be implemented, but I hope not, then everyone will come around.

    Turkey is striving to be at the head of the Islamic world, and therefore it can’t do without the Americans. And what will the Muslims themselves say-Turkey sold the Syrian Muslims for their power? Well, in the struggle for power, everyone is ready to go over the corpses of their brothers. Not Judah are you doing

    Yes, the Turks spat on Syria, and on Iran, and even more so on the Kurds. Allow themselves whatever they want. If they want to invade Iraq, they will also wet the Kurds, they will want to impose sanctions against Syria. It seems that now only the lazy and Russia will not apply sanctions against Syria. In addition, they feel like heroes when behind their backs large uncles are standing with airplanes and ships. Plus control of the transition between the Black and Mediterranean Seas. They felt like kings. But they give him a hat and deprive of this control what they will say then.

    The Turks yearn for the historical past when they dictated their will to the entire Black Sea region.

    The Turks of the last two Great Wars were puppets of the West, nothing has changed even now, so there is no longing for the past, it was too long ago, and they came from kirdyk precisely because of Russia. By the way, no one knows if two or more atomic charges are undermined in the Dardanelles, the strait will expand much? And the flow there seems to be not in our direction? It would be necessary for our geological and hydro-exploration vessel to go over and measure what and how)))

    As a rule, sanctions also bring losses to investors themselves. I would like to know how much Turkey itself incurred losses or did not get profit? If this amount is similar or at least 50% of the one that Syria lost, then it is not clear:
    Who, who did worse ???

      Well, it is not worth comparing the Turkish and Syrian economies. The Syrian economy is weak. It’s a big minus for it. For Turkey, losing 2,8 billion will not affect the economy.

        I don’t understand where is the comparison of economies? The question was, about the losses incurred!
        As for 2,8 billion, at any other time, the loss of this money for Turkey would not have been noticed. There is a crisis in the yard and it seems that there will be a second wave, under such conditions, 2,8 billion is not small money and the loss will be noticeable.

    Not a bit dark, but it was nice to hear.

    ISLAMABAD, December 4. / ITAR-TASS /. The United States began today the evacuation of its servicemen from the Pakistani military airbase Shamsi. According to the Pakistani satellite TV channel Geo-TV, such a decision was made after Islamabad presented the US military with demands to leave the base.

    On November 26, NATO attack helicopters attacked a checkpoint in Pakistan, killing more than 20 border guards. In response, Islamabad announced a review of relations with the United States, the refusal of the American Air Force to use the Shamsi airbase and the closure of transport corridors through its territory to supply alliance forces in Afghanistan.

    If so, then the Pakistanis do not play a point, unlike the United States.

      Well, 32-50 million tourists and inside and outside tourists go to Turkey annually, 35-40 of them are foreigners, 2,5-3,5 million go from Russia annually, I think it will not be a big loss for Turkey if we don’t go there, it is impossible to give up Turkey, the service, transport, cultural places, beaches, hotels, restaurants, clubs and most importantly everything is cheap, that’s why everyone goes to Turkey. For 350 dollars you can spend 4/5 days in Turkey than for 550% 3/4 in Thailand, here we go

    Everyone protects the rulers of Egypt, Libya, Syria and other ousted and ousted regimes, but these and other Arab countries destroyed the USSR in the 90s to please the Yankees, it was not the collapse of communism, but a well-planned action, and it’s heaven’s punishment for them for that , in the year 12, the collapse of the Arab countries will begin, if the Russians later find out the whole truth, they will radically change their attitude to the Arab countries
