"We are a naval nation" Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu

[nahtanbob]

Dont know with their Navy, but Turkish troops are sent to Indonesia to defence Aceh is acknowledge by Indonesian. They build several military post inside Aceh and the troops stay in Aceh quite long, so it is why many Acehnese has Turkish descend as well.

There was plenty of Arab influence in Aceh. Turks were non-existent in the Indian ocean. The European powers (British, French, Dutch, Portuguese) dominated the Indian Ocean since 1520.

I do not know how Turks can send troops without a navy

Many of weapons used by many Sultanate across Indonesia ( non only in Aceh) to fight Western powers comes from Turkish. This is due to the Islamic connection.

Of course they will send troops through ships, do you think they used plane ? What I mean troops stations in Aceh and weapon and ammunition that is part of their contribution.

Evidence of Turkish naval activity in Indian Ocean is minimal (if not close to zero). Even in the Mediterranean Europeans destroyed them at sea repeatedly

He doesnt know anything about super power Ottoman Empire in the 16th century


-- Ottoman Army led by SULTAN Suleiman the magnificent kicked European Alliance within 2 hours in 1526
-- Ottoman Empire SULTAN Suleiman the magnificent saved King Francois I of France from Holy Roman Emparor Charles V

-- Ottoman Navy kicked European Alliance Navy ( İtalians+Spaniards ) in 1538

-- SULTAN Selim II sent Ottoman Navy ( 17 Ships ) to Indonesia to support the Aceh Sultanate in its fight against the Portuguese Empire in Malacca in 1566-1567

The Ottoman Empire's only territory in Oceania: Aceh Sultanate

Aceh Sultanate which learned how to produce weapons and the regular army from the Turks, commemorated all Ottoman Sultans, especially Selim the second, in every Friday sermon from that date until its collapse

Flag of Aceh which is very similar to Turkish flag

haha keep crying

reality is Turkish Navy since 1081 which was founded earlier than European Navies

and Turks have great naval Industry to produce everything including Aircraft Carrier

Greeks rule the med since minoan times 1500 bc.

only stupid person like you can say this with butthurt feelings
idiot dont compare battles with naval history


CAVUSOGLU said that we are naval nation ( that means history and geopolitic )

TURKS have naval history since 1081 who ruled Mediterranean Sea from Algeria to Cyprus for centuries


but Ottoman Empire lost technology advantage after the 17th century
Europe and Russia had technology advantage and we have lost naval battles


and today Turkish Navy is the strongest Navy in the region
-- Turkish Naval Industry is one of the best in the World

TURKS are coming back with naval industry and Missile power to protect Turkish EEZ against bandit countries in the Eastern Mediterranean

your Greece and France can not steal our EEZ .......


Now go and cry to MODS like a kid

If its your EEZ, why dont you go there? We always kick your ships out. I can only imagine how much your little heart pumps because of that.

 

[MMM-E]

Greeks were ruled by the Turks ... and Greeks are nothing in the last 1.000 years

If its your EEZ, why dont you go there? We always kick your ships out. I can only imagine how much your little heart pumps because of that.

so funny
Your weak-tiny Greece hidding behind USA-France-Germany ..... nothing else to do

Our WarShips are already in Turkish EEZ who kicked French-American-İsraeli-İtalian research-drilling Ships out of Turkish EEZ

Last time you did that one of your jets were shot down. ;( Did you recover the jet btw?

Right now we build a power cable from Egypt to Greece and you can do nothing about it.

You also forget to mention that we kick your exploration ship out, you know, the red rust bucket.

P.s.: on a personal note, does it bother you alot that the entire diplomatic and high command in the ottoman empire was greek? You know it was almost impossible for any turk to rise in rank, since no Sultan trusted his own people and prefered to have greeks on such posts. Why you think it was that way? In the end it proved to be a fatal mistake for you guys.

 

[Foinikas]

Quit the BS. There is no history of the Ottoman Navy fighting in India or Indonesia

They reached India,but lost and never tried to go there again:

There's even a video about it from Kings&Generals.

Ottomans are getting beaten all over by the Persians and Christians in Europe. They somehow find men to send to Aceh

 

[Rafi]

All this pathetic trolling aside, the Turks we're a great sea faring nation, and to this day they are a major power in the Med.

Agree! The only navy that can challenge Turkish Navy in Mediterranean is the Egyptian Navy. No other country in Middle East/Eastern Mediterranean comes close.

Nice dream .... keep dreaming dream is free
now our exploration ship in the black sea to find new gas reserves
we will return to the our EEZ in the Eastern Mediterranean
and our Frigates already protect our EZZ .. Nobody can enter Turkish EEZ

They reached India,but lost and never tried to go there again:

if super power Ottoman Empire attacked on Portugal with full of power ... Ottoman Empire would crush Portugal like insect

but Ottoman Empire always fought in 3 fronts against Europe + Russia + İran

TURKS vs all cowards ( portuguese,spaniards,italians,russians,germans,french,british,poles,etc ) for centuries



when Ottoman Empire was busy to fight İtalians+Spaniards+Germans+Russians,Hungarians+Poles etc in Europe and Mediterranean Sea

Do you think it was so easy to fund Ottoman Military power to fight Europe+Russia+İran in many fronts for centuries ?

İn İslamic World only TURKS did it around 1.000 years since 1096 CRUSADES

and except the Turks , Nobody could dare to fight Europe+Russia for centuries in history

Agree! The only navy that can challenge Turkish Navy in Mediterranean is the Egyptian Navy. No other country in Middle East/Eastern Mediterranean comes close.

Egyptian Navy is so weak to compare with the Turkish Navy

-- Egyptian Navy bought 4 Type209 class Submarines but Turkish Navy has already 12 Type209 class Submarines also 6 Type-214 class AIP Submarines between 2022 and 2027

-- Egyptian Navy has no any ASW Aircraft but Turkish Navy has 12 ASW Aircrafts

-- Egyptian Navy has no any unmanned armed Vessel but Turkish Navy gets many unmanned armed Vessels to hunt enemy Warships and Submarines

-- Egyptian Navy has 4 GOWIND class Corvettes , Turkish Navy has 4 ADA class Corvettes also 6 BURAK class Corvettes

-- Egyptian Navy has 1 FREMM and 4 OHP class Frigates but Turkish Navy has 8 MEKO-200 and 8 OHP class Frigates


NEW WEAPONS
Egyptian Navy buys 2 more FREMM and 4 new A200 Frigates
but Turkish Navy also will have new Warships 4 ISTIF class Frigates , 7 TF2000 class Destroyers , 10 heavy armed OPVs and 10 new FACs

also 4 MEKO-200 Frigates will be modernized with most modern systems and weapons


Today Egyptian-Greek Frigates can not stop even Turkish AKINCI and AKSUNGUR UCAVs armed with 150 km TRLG-230 supersonic Missiles

Ottomans are getting beaten all over by the Persians and Christians in Europe.

learn history


TURKS raped Europe around 1.300 years between the 4th century and 1683 since Attilla the HUN
TURKS vs Europe+Russia after 1683

and Persians ( İran ) was ruled by the TURKS between 960s and 1925
Turkic Safavid , Afshar , Qajar Dynasties fought against the Ottoman Empire and Ottomans won all major wars against İran

even in WW1 Ottoman Empire captured half of İran with 1/10 of Ottoman Military Power

Huns, Vandals, Visgoths != Ottomans

You dodged the question what was Turkey doing with Britain and France against Russia in 1854

If the Ottomans won all the wars against Iran how much Persia stayed independent of Ottoman rule ?
