There is another problem. Apparently regime deploying more troops to idlib-Latakia-hama front which means Erdogans best friend Putin gave Assad a green light to attack idlib. More refugees will march across Turkish border=more Turkish resources will be wasted on treatment and housing.
Don’t tell me I wasn’t warning you. You can’t trust Russians they played you with de-escalation bullshit promise. Also Levant Kemal, a Turkish commentator posted earlier, sdf will assist regime in recapturing Afrin. Remember my first prophecy? I told you, you should have listened to Obama back in 2014 when he guaranteed air cover but ground troops Turks+proxies to deal with isis. Erdogan refused but offered his proxies who have abysmal combat capabilities. hence, we sided with Kurds, we had no option, and you guys might lose idlib, afrin, jarablus.
Top 10 places where there is refugees is in Asia and Africa.
While so many countries like Pakistan, Turkey, Uganda, Ethiopia, Jordan and Lebanon drowned with so many refugees.
The West just sat back started crying because a few thousand came. Irony is that europeans call the refugees invaders.
Refugee crisis is a global problem it has become worse thanks to you guys.
Turkey holds 3 million refugees but these Europeans have the audacity to give out so called Human rights lessons to Turkey. What a joke.
Mehmet Akif Ersoy was actually right about your kind.
Few thousands? What world are you living? There are almost 500 thousand Syrian refugees in Germany. God knows how many from other countries. Half a million illegals in Italy. Yes, you have more, well they are your neighbors. Just like we have Mexican and Central American illegals in USA.
Also I think it’s vwry despicable how some of you say” we need to send millions of Syrians to Europe” had they not suffered enough? What kind of Muslims are you? If I were Arab I would be disgusted by your comments. Erdogan from day one supported rebellion urging to remove Assad. You deal with it. Do you see us asking your help to deal with Latin American illegal immigration? No. It’s your problem!
Brunson is a long term CIA agent and Ozkan is some relatively irrelevant muslim woman who supports Palestinians. The US couldnt persuade Turkey to let Brunson go before so I doubt such a trade of would of worked.
I think Erdogan has been set up here and I'm not a fan of him at all. The Turkish woman was arrested on trumped up charges. One charge for "smuggling" 3 bottles of perfume, yes perfume, to give to hamas so they can sell it for funding. The other charge was for a phone charger, and a third charge was of giving them $500. They even claim she was given $1000 to cover her expenses for giving them $500. Hamas pays a woman a grand to give Hamas 500 dollars. Come on!!
I doubt these charges would of held up in a court. So she was always set to be released. Trump says some nice things about Erdogan at the Nato summit making it appear like they agreed to something being cut from the same cloth and all, then boom. The woman is released and a narrative is set for the public.
"The good honest pastor being held hostage, christian defender trump made a deal to secure the good mans release by trading him for an evil hamas supporter, untrustworthy erdo reneged on his deal so trump had no choice but to sanction."
I'm not sticking up for Erdogan here, he can be very naive when you consider Gulen, the PKK peace deal etc. Personally, this is just the US deep state trying to get their man back. Turkey isn't going to release him without getting Gulen, Turkey made it clear they are willing to "trade" so the US came up with a trade story to use without giving away any of their men, Brunson or Gulen.
But it's important to note that Trump can only get away with it because Turkey allows it. The economy was always vulnerable and there to be exploited, lack of any vision or strategy in foreign policy and awful sycophantic advisors.
Brunson? CIA asset? Kidding me, right?
Dude has been living in turkey over two decades. During “coup” he was overseas. Then he returned to Turkey. You arrested him. What kind of spy is this?
This is some outrageous accusation! Some of you even accused Erdogan of being cia spy! You guys are getting paranoid, I swear
Very strong message by Ibrahim Kalin:
"The US runs the risk of losing Turkey as a whole. The entire Turkish public is against US policies that disregard Turkey's legitimate security demands. Threats, sanctions and bullying against Turkey will not work. It will only increase Turkey's resolve. But it will also further isolate the US in both Turkey and on the international scene,"
Please do so. We don’t need Turkey. Go embrace Russia and China. Russia is a broke joke they might throw you a discount on gas. Great breakthrough
All the countries you listed supported terrorist and separatist organizations in Turkey and also in our neighbouring countries. The level of respect shown here is much than enough and you should even be amazed by it. Where was the last time when you talked with victim of Turkish sponsored terrorism in Italy because I talked with victim of Italian supported terrorism some months ago. Don't play with our patience! If the inflation is problem for me another problem is how you are writing "Turk". Don't play games here. All of the forum knows you and your intentions. I am telling you again. Nobody will tolerate your provocative behavior here so you write like a decent human being or you will face the consequences.
What do you mean “don’t play with our patience”
We have been playing with your patience for quite some time and you did nothing. And when lira collapses more so will your empty threats. Russians showed how to deal with Turks when they shut down your tourism sector and export of cucumber/tomatoes. Do you remember how much begging did Erdogan? Besides don’t threaten westerners with such statement. It looks lame and pathetic.
It seems US has given time Turkish Republic to release the guy until tomorrow 18:00. It seems US is ruled by drunkard bastards who supposes Turkish Republic as somewhere ruled by Arabian puppets in Gulf they are daily milking. How dare you? Who are you ? How can you threaten my country like that ?
And if your country releases him then what are you going to say? Will you be willing to insult Erdogan right here on public Pakistani forum? Will you apologize and accept the power of USA despite it has an imbecile of a president?
