look at poor al saud regime. masters ordered and suud pupets want to them satisfy ha ha

Didn't Erdogan apologize and beg for forgiveness from Putin for shooting down the Russian plane when his Western allies ditched him? lol The same Putin that has been propping up Assad and killing thousands of Syrians? The whole S-400 debacle is because he agreed to pay for shooting down the plane and thus they bought the system.

Hypocrisy of Turkey. Will support Pakistan in the kashmiri conflict but will themselves occupy Cyprus which belongs to Greece.

Saudi Arabia: ‘We support our ally Cyprus against Turkey’s activities in Mediterranean’

September 13, 2019 at 12:10 am |

Saudi Foreign Minister Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf said his country supports the Greek Cypriots, which he described as an ally, against Turkey’s oil and gas exploration activities in the Mediterranean.

This came in statements made by Al-Assaf during a press conference held by his Cypriot counterpart, Nikos Christodoulides. The Saudi Foreign Ministry published parts of the press conference on Twitter, on Thursday.

Al-Assaf, who is currently on a visit to Rome, told reporters: “Yes, we discussed the problem of Cyprus. We support the legitimacy and sovereignty of Cyprus. We also support international resolutions, especially those of the United Nations, and we hope that the parties will solve the problem in a peaceful manner. We will continue to support Cyprus.”

Al-Assaf confirmed that he met President of Cyprus and the speaker of the Parliament, Thursday morning, adding: “I see great interest in the development of relations at all levels.”

The Saudi foreign minister pointed out that he discussed with his Cypriot counterpart several economic opportunities.

Saudi-Turkish tension

Al-Assaf’s visit came amid rising tension between Turkey and Saudi Arabia over several issues, including the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Ankara’s alignment with Doha during the Gulf crisis and Riyadh’s support for Egypt’s 2013 coup.

Last month, a leaked document revealed a plan drawn up by Saudi Arabia and the UAE aimed at weakening the Turkish government, overthrowing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and igniting internal crises in Turkey.

According to Middle East Eye, the plan aimed to use all possible tools to pressure and weaken Erdogan’s government and keep him busy with domestic issues in the hope that the opposition will overthrow or distract him by evoking repeated crises.

According to reports carried by Cypriot and Saudi media, the two sides, Saudi Arabia and Cyprus, held talks covering bilateral relations and the Cyprus issue.

The same reports added that Al-Assaf expressed his country’s desire to “improve relations with South Cyprus because of its geographical location, and years of long-standing dialogue with the Arab world, in addition to being a member of the European Union.”

Turkish media attacked the Saudi foreign minister for Riyadh’s support for Nicosia’s position against Ankara. AHABER TV described such statement, in a report published on its website, as “shameless.”

The TV channel quoted Al-Assaf saying: “The Saudi Kingdom stands with our ally, the Cypriot President, against Turkey’s illegal activities in the Mediterranean.”

The channel pointed out also that the minister’s statements are in harmony with the European and US position on the issue of gas exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Since 1974, Cyprus has been divided between a Turkish part in the north and a Greek part in the south.

The unilaterally proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognised only by Turkey as a sovereign state, has not won international recognition.

Cyprus has been a member of the European Union and says the north has been under illegal occupation since the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974.

Tensions between the two parts increased as natural gas deposits were discovered in the water zone between Cyprus and Israel.

Turkish Cypriots accused the Cypriot government of acting unilaterally by inviting companies to explore in the region, saying that they want to have a share in the profits of any gas production. But, the Cypriot government rejected the idea.

Turkish Cypriots said that their first choice is to negotiate with the Greek Cypriots on the island’s unification; however, after decades of inaction, such a situation cannot last forever.

Money has it's place, but the Saudi kingdom was created from the betrayal of Muslims. It's Kings continue to betray Muslims. Pakistan will play politics of course, but anyone with any sense should not forget the treachery the Saudi State was born from. Those ruling it are direct beneficiaries of the treason of their forefathers.

Of course this is not a reflection of the people of KSA.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Is there anyone who's actually surprised by this?
Most of the Arab governments today have sold themselves out to the West for power & worldly comforts.They can only bark when it comes to other Muslim nations.Against the enemies of Islam however, they'll bow down & lick their feets.
Nowadays, they're only good at backstabbing other Muslims.We have seen this in the recent Kashmir issue. And now this.
Nothing against the common Arab people.But they really should take initiative & remove these corrupt despots from power.

 

[Nein]

Arabisation??you can fool a lot Turks with this fear mongering bullshit.

But us Turks have been Muslim for 1000 years still we are not Arab.

No traces of Turkic history in the Middle East because you arabs either bombed it demolitioned any sort of remains just like in the Balkans.

 

[Timur]

When did Anatolians ever rule Arabs? That never happened even once in history. It was the other way around. Arabs ruled half of modern-day Turkey for centuries and before that other of our Semitic ancestors. Even before the Roman Empire emerged, Arab dynasties were ruling modern-day Turkey.

132 BC–AD 214[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osroene

As for modern-day KSA, "Ottomans" (who were an Arabized dynasty on every front, more Arab than anything else, Ottoman language, script, land, people, culture, civilization, bureaucracy, titles, Sultan, Caliph, etc. all copied/based on previous Arab caliphates that ruled for 1000 years until the backstabbing in 1517) never ruled anything, lol. Their presence was limited to Hijaz and military garrisons there and the rulers on the ground where the Sharif of Makkah. There was an alliance against the Portuguese. That is why you cannot mention a single Arab-Ottoman war until 100 years ago, when just a few Northern Hijazi tribes defeated the Ottomans.

The reality is that you Anatolians have been ruled by foreigners for your entire history. To the point that there is no real Anatolian civilization or culture left. Even you Turks are a mixtures of all your conquerers (Assyrians, Greeks, Armenians, Arabs, Persians, Romans) and later migrants such as Kurds, Circassians, people from the Balkan etc.

Not only that you are Turkified and Arabized people. So we are actually laughing at you. Imagine living in such a lie and be as pathetic as to claim some Hunnic achievements (who historians don't even know which people they belonged to, most probably they were just nomads of various backgrounds inhabiting the Eurasian Steppe), Mughals (Mongol lineage) and other dynasties that you have zero ancestral, genetic etc. ties to, lol.

Talk about living a lie and having inferiority complexes. You don't even know who you are. Some act like Europeans too, lol, while never being accepted as Europeans by other Europeans. Sad state of affairs.

Dude, you are Greeks and all those people above in denial, lol.

Take the DNA tests of Turks from Southern Turkey and they will get Arab DNA, lol. Erdogan is a GEORGIAN married to an ARAB.

@CamelGuy @Philip the Arab @Alithemoor1 @azzo

And with your definition you are a jew.. Speaking a broken Jewish dialect wich changed over the years.. Seeing Israeli people its actually no wonder why you are the way you are showing here on pdf...

Reality is arabs and jews don't share only blood heritage they share also the same character and that's why they can't stand each other

As for lazy Arab input on ottomans army your glorification has no bases its like a fart on a stormy day..

There is absolutely no one except your nationalist arabs that see or claim ottomans as arabs or alike no one talks this way every one knows them as Turks..

You will definitely come again with your standard bullshit arabized bla bla except your masters who pay you and some arab nationalist on this forum no one take you seriously.. Except that fake guy who always thanks you for your arab praising bullshit but claim to be no f. Nationalistic snake or others like him.. Yes money britches exists everywhere they will talk nice to you and your wet dreams.. but the good thing is they will always get their answers we just need to wait and they will be humiliated but lol they love to be humiliated..


Also what liar you are Arabia the bare footed ppl who received help from some African people who now complain about the stingy help of them was not really wealthy than but sure you bare footed grandpa cannot be such a guy you may need to rewrite your family history for your pride.. But who cares about that.. Now you got to be a fine man who does not eat with
His hands but uses metal tools..

So act as if you are living in paradise and like you are free but everyone except fools know that you are a paid guy on internet without a own mind and brain to think you are trapped in a prison and act as if it is the best what could happen to you.. Yes I am in EU and I choose by myself to live differently than Europeans

One more to say I may not read what standard bullshit you will write again like always or I may just read 3 lines and act as if I have read the arabian stories you always write...

So start your repeated bla bla bla...

 

[The Eagle]

VPN/Proxy trolls are flooding and choose to talk about a nation's matters that they have no relation with but feel embarrassed to share their own original flag. For that matter, our friends here need to have a big heart and don't fall the hateful trap & deceptive tactics. Keep it clean and on point without getting personal, agree to disagree with respect and move-on without quoting back, report the matter if any and leave it to Mod(s) to handle and have a nice debate.

Let's not carried away derailing the topic and I am really hopeful that this message will be the last one as a reminder.

This has nothing to do with Islam and Muslims, it's just a territorial dispute based on ethnic lines. No one recognizes Turkish Cyprus anyway aside from Turkey.

 

[WinterNights]

We got the ballistic missile tech, infrastructure etc. 30+ years ago from China and have been working with China to upgrade it and improve it for 30+ years. There are tons of ballistic missile bases in KSA. The Western media disclosed some years ago and not long ago there was an entire Senate hearing about it in the US. We have ballistic missiles in our arsenal with a range of 10.000+ km.

What ballistic missiles? The only missiles you have are some ancient Chinese missile that have a CEP more than your entire state. Don't make me laugh kid.

 

[ZAC1]

We already have nukes and are already using our own uranium (almost 10% of the world's reserves are located in KSA, the third richest country on the planet in terms of natural resources and mineral wealth after Russia and USA) and while we speak we are enriching uranium.

We have chemical weapons as well as we have one of the most advanced petrochemical sectors in the entire world. More chemical weapons can be built easily by chemical engineers like me.

Your comment has nothing to do with the facts that I wrote.

KSA hosts as many Pakistanis as Indians. There are 6.5-7 times as many Indians as Pakistanis in the world so no wonder that there will be a lot of Indians in the GCC. Our relations with South Asia are 5000+ years old and based mainly on trade.

As for Indians are there not 25+ million people of Indian origin in Pakistan alone?

KSA's trade surplus with India is gigantic. We are taking money from India and weakening its economy (just like China which is the largest trade partner of India) so you should be thanking us.

You cannot do anything against 500 million Arabs, lol. What backstabbing are you talking about? Your own in Yemen?

There will not be any wars but if push come to show, Arabs will be there. Nobody in the Muslim world is close to our military history or military accomplishments. Fact. Arab warriors (civilians) have fought across the entire Muslim world in every conflict. Few as battle-hardened people out there.

lolzzzzzz house of saud n their accomplishments

 

[Nein]

Saudi Arabia is more than welcome to build a base in Cyprus when Turkey already has one there. You are very late the British have two bases there.

Omg Saudi Arabia is the next superpower. MBS is going to build the next superpower by 2020.

Watch out India you have a competitor in your superpower 2020 goal.

 

[masterchief_mirza]

That's very strange, Saudi Arabia is the most gernerou country to Pakistan and always helpes you in difficult times, We see little if no assistance provided by Turkey while you want to attack Saudi Arabia... it just doesn't make any sense of of kind.

You need to comprehend the difference between the vassal states of GCC and the Arab people. Pakistan has a transactional relationship with these vassal states as they are merely extensions of a western/Zionist elite world order. We have seen recently how they have lost the ability to think for themselves and simply parrot some version of western led global interventionism every time someone asks them about real issues that matter. We have no problem with Arab people and indeed when their nations truly spoke for themselves, we supported them as brothers. But that concept of an independent representative Arab nation no longer exists.

Hence Pakistan supports its brotherly nation Turkey, a nation that is truly independent and represents the will of its people.

this mbs propably drinked to excess teqila and lizard urine

 

[dBSPL]

Its shameful too that none of the Turkic countries recognise Turkish Cyprus.

If Turkey did not intervene cyprus was going to be Sebrenica for Turkish Cypriots. I have lots of Turkish cypriot friends I cannot imagine a lot of them would not be alive today if the Greeks got it their way in Cyprus.

Only thing we would be looking at today is mass graves of Turkish cypriots but man the Turkish intervention was a blessing you have pictures and videos of Turkish cypriots celebrating and greeting Turkish soldiers as liberators.

If the Turkish military had not intervened and overthrew the Greek Cypriot martial law , a second Cretan genocide would have taken place. Indeed, 99% of this forum has no knowledge about the Cretan massacres. Because the pain of the Turks is only the problem of the Turks. Just like the Khojaly genocide, just like the Crimean genocide and many many others. We are used to walking alone on this road. But the hostility in the hearts is sad.

Even when our homeland Anatolia was under occupation, we fought against invaders in Tabriz, todays Iran. Our history of the Republic did not pass easily, we have experienced many foreign-backed military coup. But even once, we didn't watch the suffering of our Muslim brothers.

On the other side, that's why we love our Pakistani brothers. They came to these days in a similar historical process with us.
