Russia and Turkey

Erdogan said that Turkey will never recognize Crimea as part of Russia


The Turkish president refused to recognize the entry of Crimea into Russia.

During the meeting between the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, the Turkish leader made a statement in which he stressed that the Turkish side does not recognize the entry of the Crimean Peninsula into the Russian Federation.

“Erdogan emphasized that Turkey does not recognize the inclusion of Crimea in Russia and will continue to protect the rights of Crimean Tatars. According to him, the Turkish side will always support the independence of Ukraine, and also believes in the imminent end of the conflict in the east of the country , ”reports Lenta, referring to the words of the Turkish president.

It is noteworthy that this is not the first statement by Recep Erdogan on this subject, and Turkey continues to supply its armaments to Ukraine, in particular, we are talking about unmanned strike aircraft Bayraktar TB2.

Whether such a statement will affect the political relations between Russia and Turkey is not known, but experts do not exclude that, due to Ankara’s similar position, Moscow may weaken relations with Turkey, including military-technical cooperation, in which Erdogan is extremely interested.

Israel warned Russia against selling Su-35 to Turkey

"From a commercial point of view, this is beneficial, but Turkey is not the most reliable partner for Russia. As they say, she dances at all weddings at once, ”the ex-Israeli ambassador to Russia Zvi Magen told the VZGLYAD newspaper, commenting on the information on the consideration by the Turkish defense industry secretariat of the possibility of purchasing Russian Su-35 multi-role fighters.

“Turkey’s purchase of Su-35 fighters is unlikely to have a significant impact on the alignment of forces in the region. If we compare with the American F-35, then we are talking about machines that are similar in their characteristics and capabilities, so I think there is not much difference, ”said Zvi Magen. “Turkey is not at war with anyone now, so this deal will not be able to seriously change the situation.”

At the same time, the interlocutor noted that if we talk about the commercial aspect, then the option with the supply of Turkish fighters is certainly beneficial for Russia.

“On the other hand, I want to remind you that Turkey is a dubious partner for Russia, because today Turkish interests are here, and tomorrow they are there. As they say, Turkey dances at all weddings and sits on all chairs. She is an active member of NATO and will not go anywhere from there, ”the former Israeli ambassador to Russia emphasized.

“At the same time, the country is going through a transitional period of its history, and if Russia continues to make efforts to develop relations with Turkey in the direction of military-technical cooperation, anything can happen. It is clear that, given the issue of security of the southern borders of Russia, including the Black Sea, Turkey is a very important and serious friend. But only the time will tell how the situation turns, ”Zvi Magen concluded.  

 

As the newspaper VZGLYAD previously reported, the Turkish authorities responsible for the purchase of weapons  turned  to the secretariat of the country's defense industry and the command of the Turkish Air Force with a request to evaluate the Russian proposal for the supply of Su-35 multipurpose fighters.

If Moscow’s proposal is approved by the departments, Ankara will begin a substantive discussion of the deal with the Russian side.

Kommersant: Arctic LNG-2 will be powered from a Turkish floating station

MOSCOW, August 10 – RIA Novosti. Novatek will order a floating power plant from Turkish company Karpowership to supply the first line of the Arctic LNG-2 plant under construction, informs The newspaper “Kommersant”.

Earlier, the publication reported that the American technology company Baker Hughes stopped serving all Russian LNG projects, recalled service engineers from a number of projects, and stopped the shipment of equipment for the Arctic LNG-2 under construction.

“Novatek has figured out how to solve the problem with the power supply of the first line of Arctic LNG-2. To do this, the company will order a floating power plant with a capacity of about 300-400 MW, powered by gas piston engines, from Turkish Karpowership,” said the newspaper. cited sources.
At the same time, the addressees of the publication found it difficult to specify the timing of the construction of a floating thermal power plant. It was stated that a similar power supply option could be used for the second and third lines of the LNG plant.

Arctic LNG-2 is Novatek’s second largest capacity liquefied natural gas production project after Yamal LNG. The resource base is the Utrenneye deposit in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The project plans to build three technological lines, each with a capacity of 6.6 million tons (19.8 million tons of LNG per year).

Russia is only one I'm aware of who makes such high powered floating plants with their nuclear one.

If I was government, I would stop that transaction fast and force novatek to buy local.

Edit: I am gonna wait for result.  I somehow doubt this story.  Kommoersant has been known for a lot of bs.

Its a ship based power plant and its not nuclear. Like this one:

Still, Not sure I believe the source.  Wouldn't make sense at all for Russia to buy from a shit country like Turkey.

System pesticide channel @pezdicide writes about Qirim News, which openly supports aggressive and pro-Ukrainian rhetoric on Crimea. Given the Turkish roots of the resource, such a position towards Russia is completely unsurprising.

After all, the Turkish Cooperation and Development Agency (TIKA), which owns the media, generally specializes in maintaining conflict moods in different regions of the world. The famous Turkish “soft power” is effective and at the same time aggressive, progressively seeking favor from the local population towards Turkey.

Here are just a few examples:

TIKA has been active in Tatarstan within the framework of the Turkology project, promoting the Turkish language, a common Turkic identity in local cultural centers.

The same can be said about Bashkiria, which is actively sought to tie to Turkey: through private entrepreneurs and the Chamber of Commerce, ideas of cooperation with the Turks are being promoted. This is also the basis for homegrown separatism.

TIKA is actively penetrating the Balkans, creating infrastructure for Muslim areas. This escalates the already difficult inter-ethnic relations due to the increasingly dense presence of the Turks.

At the same time, Turkey implements 4.1% of investment projects in Serbia, yielding in this indicator only to the EU countries, China and the United States. The presence of TIKA plays an important role in this, including through the creation of a cultural ground for such economic projects.

In the traditionally pro-Russian region of Gagauzia in Moldova, TIKA is opening kindergartens and helping build roads. The purpose of these simple actions is to turn the region into a stronghold of the Turkic world in the Northern Black Sea region.

TIKA is actively cooperating with Hungary, on whose territory the symbols of power of the Ottoman Empire are being restored.

Therefore, Crimea and the support of the radical part of the Crimean Tatars is only part of the overall strategy for the penetration of the Turks into strategically important regions.

And the distribution of a letter from the deputy chairman of the banned organization "Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people" Nariman Dzhelyalov, in which he hopes for the return of Crimea to Ukraine, fits perfectly into this program.

This is why No Turkish business needs to be allowed in Russia.  They are actively funding terrorism and separatism in Russia and abroad.  They are working hard with Kazakhstan.  it all has to do with it.  You cannot say there is no correlation.  When you provide money to them, they will use that money against you.

I never expected much from an American but you really do show yourself and lack of critical thinking.  I know, you guys see "money" and "private industry" but dont actually know what any of that means.  Tax exemptions to build means government funding so it isn't exactly private. But whatever, I am talking to a genius that Russian government should listen to.  A nation caught "unprepared" yet doing way better without leveling an entire fucking country than someone else we know.

Building facilities on land in the region might prove problematic due to melting permafrost. I guess this is why they decided to choose a ship.

If that was the case, then the LNG plant wouldn't be there as of right now which it is.  Don't disprove yourself so easily please.
