Թուրքիայի նախագահ Ռեջեփ Թայիփ Էրդողանը հայտարարել է, թե անհրաժեշտ է ջանքեր գործադրել Ռուսաստանի հետ հարաբերությունները կրկին զարգացնելու համար։

Թուրքական Cumhuriyet–ի փոխանցմամբ՝ Թուրքիայի նախագահ Ռեջեփ Թայիփ Էրդողանը Ուգանդա կատարելիք այցից առաջ օդանավակայանում կազմակերպված մամուլի ասուլիսին անդրադարձել է ՌԴ–ի հետ հարաբերությունների թեմային։

«Թուրքիան մեղավորի աթոռին նստող երկիր չէ։ Սակայն Թուրքիան հարաբերություններ փչացնող երկիր էլ չէ։ Մենք ցանկանում ենք բարելավել ՌԴ–ի հետ մեր հարաբերությունները։ Մտածելու տեղիք է տալիս այն հանգամանքը, որ ռուս օդաչուի սխալի պատճառով զոհաբերվեց հսկայական Թուրքիան»,–ասել է Էրդողանը։

New footage released by insurgents, shows the moment a Syrian Army surface-to-surface missile (SSM) hits its target at the town of Darayya, in southern Damascus.

Looks very inaccurate unless guided (I doubt it) with lots of dust and who knows where it landed.
They will be better off with a decent large mortar or artillery, they can use at least 30 accurate shelling instead of a one blind one.

Russia Demands Turkey Withdraw Troops from Iraq

"Lavrov also said that Moscow will continue to demand that Turkey stop causing chaos in Iraq, in the first place against the Kurds.

As part of its efforts to counter terrorism in the region, Russia provides Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan with weapons “with the consent from the Iraqi government,” Lavrov stressed, adding that “we apply no other principles.”

"German MPs' Armenian genocide vote threatens EU-Turkey refugee deal

The European Union’s refugee deal with Turkey championed by Angela Merkel will be put under further strain as the German parliament votes on a symbolic resolution on the Armenian genocide.

The five-page resolution, co-written by parliamentarians from the Christian Democrats, Social Democrats and Green party, calls for a “commemoration of the genocide of Armenian and other Christian minorities in the years 1915 and 1916”.

Turkish governments have always rejected the use of the term genocide to describe the massacre and expulsion of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians and members of Christian minorities in the Ottoman empire."

Let us see if Germans have balls today. We know Merkel does not have any.

Re: Regional geopolitics

The usual turkish response


"The Turkish president said the decision would affect relations between Germany and Turkey, adding that Ankara's first step would be to recall its ambassador for consultations.

Erdoğan said Turkey would discuss the issue and make a final decision after these consultations.

“This decision that the German Parliament has taken is actually a decision that will seriously affect Germany-Turkey relations. We will make evaluations after returning [to Turkey] about steps to be taken. Then we will take the necessary steps that we have to take,” Erdoğan told reporters in Kenya.

Prime Minister Binalı Yıldırım said Ankara could "not accept" such a decision.

“This decision approved in Germany is a mistaken one. There is no shameful incident in our past. This is not a decision that Turkey could ever approve,” Yıldırım said.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu took to Twitter to criticize the vote.

“The way to close dark pages in [Germany's] own history is not to defame the history of other countries with irresponsible and baseless parliament decisions,” Çavuşoğlu tweeted.

The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) has also dismissed the decision as "null and void."

“We are deeply saddened by the German Federal Parliament’s approval of the bill that defines the 1915 incidents as genocide. We strongly condemn this. The decision is null and void for us,” CHP Deputy Chair Öztürk Yılmaz said.

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has also condemned the approval of the bill.

“Although the German government does not want to accept it, the Turkish nation has a taintless, glorious and noble history. The Nationalist Movement Party condemns the distorted decision of the German Federal Parliament and awaits for the urgent correction of this serious mistake,” MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli said."
