But for whom does Turkey need an ICBM ?

Do you really wonder the answer of the question or are you just making a funny comment?

Chinese need ICBM for America
Russia need ICBM for America
America need ICBM for both Russia and China

But for whom does Turkey need an ICBM ?

Primarily it seems for force projection but there is no permanent friend and no permanent foe in international politics.

Turkey's history and relations with its neighbours are very complex because of its imperial history. Turks governed many of their neighbours (including Greeks, Bulgarians, Macedonians, Romanians, Moldovians, Serbians, Bosnians, Crotians, Austrians, Hungarians, Albanians, Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenian, Syrians, Lebanes, Egyptians, Jews, Tunisian, Algerians, Jordanians, Yemenis and some parts of Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran) for hundreds of years.

Some of these "neighbours" are stil in a baseless fear of neo-ottomanism and some of them stil have hatred feelings against Turks becuase of historical reasons. Although none of them is powerful enough to attack Turkey directly, we stil need more deterrence to secure ourselves because of this complex history.

To answer your question, they are not against a special country but they are for anybody who is delusional enough to think they can have "bite" of Turkey.

For the rest of the humankind would be accurate answer , one can say people of Turkey are very realistic we know very well in case of all-out war no one will help us rather our "allies" possibly will be the ones who will strike the final blow.We have very known saying as "Turks have no friends other than Turks" some turk haters label it as racist saying but it is not rather reflect collective thought of our people when it comes to "friendship between countries" or "alliance" idea.You may call it paranoid i call it realistic ,we have many enemies: to our lovely neighbours to the ones reside in overseas who call themselves superpower.

Well, I did not mean Ottomans controlled the parts of Iran for hundreds of years. I was just counting the nations and regions that Ottomans governed for some time. However, Iran was governed many times by Turks for hundeds of years from 1040 to 1926. (Seljuks, Khwarezmians, Safevids, Ottomans, Afsharids and Qajars) Acually, Iran was governed more years by Turks than Persians from 1040 to now. Why did you feel offended? Is it because you are an Azarbaijani Turk?

no, i live in the city of a hero called Ebrahim Hemat ...
i live near isfahan , and turks ruled iran i think for 580 years not 900 year

I think you misunderstood what I said or I couldn't clearify what I meant.

I did not say Turks ruled Iran for 900 years. I said "Iran was governed more years by Turks than Persians from 1040 to now", which means 972 years have passed from 1040 to 2012. And in 580 years of this 972 years Iran governed by Turks and in 392 years of this 972 years Iran governed by Persians.

And isfahan is one of most beautiful cities in the world, that I would like to visit some day. Isfahan was beatifully rebuilt in the 16th century to counter the image of Istanbul of Ottomans. We couldn't keep the beauty and magic of Istanbul as it should have been but you Iranians managed to do that for Isfahan. I really admire that of your respect to your history and culture.
