🟢 Erdogan is right, there is probably nothing more Turkish than stealing things from other cultures and claiming its yours with total disregard to its significance while if the same is done to anything such as mosques funded by Turkey in Europe, Turks will screech for years and still do for certain things they lost during Ottoman times

We must not deviate from the right path. And that is the two states and the support of Turkey"

🔸 According to Turkish analyst Ozturk Yilmaz , the "accumulation of American forces on Greek soil is aimed at controlling the Aegean in favor of Greece"

🔸 "The United States will in principle control the Aegean here. They will control it in favor of Greece and that base will expand it even more. In fact, they will further support Greece's positions on the FIR line, the FIR line over the Aegean, as well as on the issue of territorial waters. They will visibly weaken the Incirlik base and create competition between us and Greece America turned Turkey into an ally only on paper. There was no allied spirit left between us"
