They used their drug cash to finance Turkey’s present account deficit!
I do not know whether or not to be upset that the proprietor of this grotesque allegation is the chairman of the CHP, or that the inspiration stones for the 99-year-old Turkish Republic to be perceived as a Narco-State on the planet had been laid by the opposition itself.
There is just one factor I do know. It isn’t the primary time that Turkey has been related to the drug commerce. Within the early Nineteen Thirties, US Senator FH. La Guardia is asking for a boycott of Turkish items, claiming that Turkey helps the manufacturing of morphine and heroin on the authorities degree.
Guardia can also be making ready a invoice and calls for {that a} yellow label be positioned on Turkish items, indicating that Turkey is concerned in unlawful drug trafficking, and {that a} “Ethical Quarantine” be utilized to Turkey! At the moment, many ugly articles and cartoons had been revealed within the US press associating Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk with the drug commerce.
Kemal Bey is much less pleased with himself. What US Senator Guardia did 90 years in the past, he’s doing the identical at present. The trail he follows and the strategy he applies are precisely the identical. The purpose of the USA, which tried to declare Turkey a Narco-State within the 30s, was to make the younger Republic cease enthusiastic about the borders of the Nationwide Pact, particularly Mosul-Kirkuk. Sadly, they had been profitable.
Nicely, what are you aiming for on the planet of 2022, Mr. Kemal? Will your subsequent transfer be to name for a boycott of Turkish items, similar to Guardia? Wouldn’t it make you cheerful to flow into allegations stuffed with ugly accusations in opposition to President Erdogan and Turkey within the Western press? Would not you thoughts in case your nation’s title is talked about on the planet like this? Please cease making this ugly declare.
You might be pitying each Turkey and CHP.
The hope of the world is in Turkey’s power
Though we discover it tough to persuade anybody inside, Turkey is taking agency steps in direction of turning into an power base. How will this work? Let’s clarify…
This story started lengthy earlier than Putin’s proposal, “Turkey will be an power base”, introduced up in Moscow on October 12. It’s the big infrastructure and superstructure investments that Turkey has just lately carried out in power, which made Putin make that assertion.
Seven pure fuel pipelines cross over Turkish territory. The valves of TANAP, which carries Azerbaijani fuel to Europe, and Turkish Stream, which transmits Russian fuel to Europe, are beneath the management of Turkey. It’s on the agenda to extend the capability of those two main strains, that are at the moment operating easily.
Turkey has two underground pure fuel storages, that are among the many largest on the planet of their discipline. The capability of the warehouses in Silivri and Tuz Gölü is being expanded.
One other vital infrastructure funding is LNG services. There are two land LNG services in Turkey. There are additionally a rising variety of floating LNG services. On the finish of the 12 months, all preparations for commissioning the Saros FSRU facility had been accomplished.
The sine qua non for a rustic to turn out to be an power base is the institution of future pure fuel and electrical energy markets in that nation. As a result of these mechanisms allow costs to be decided within the free market by a number of individuals and a whole bunch of quick/long run contracts. Turkey has each.
Turkey has one other benefit that’s a minimum of as vital as these. It’s going to ship the 540 billion cubic meters of pure fuel it finds within the Black Sea to the nationwide system within the first quarter of 2023. We should always not neglect the “new excellent news” sign given by President Erdogan on the “Century of Turkey” assembly. There’s hope and power in Blue Homeland. New gospels are at hand.
In abstract, Turkey already has the required infrastructure to turn out to be an power base. At the very least as a lot as Putin, EU international locations know that Turkey is the shortest and most rational handle that can permit doable fuel from Russia and the Mediterranean to succeed in Europe. There is just one job left. The events attain an settlement with a win-win relationship.
So who will present this? After all Turkey. Consideration to the current overseas journeys of the Minister of Vitality, Fatih Dönmez; Oman-Qatar-Germany-Russia-United Arab Emirates… These journeys began with international locations with no power cooperation earlier than however with excessive potential. Negotiations had been held for cooperation in renewable power in Oman and Qatar. The hydrogen concern was mentioned with Germany.
Fatih Dönmez was additionally current within the corridor the place Putin made the assertion that’s the topic of this text. The EU, which is making ready for a tough winter, can also be carefully following Russia’s proposal and Turkey’s strikes. Turkey’s turning into an power hub will permit the ice between the US-EU and Russia to soften a lot sooner than anticipated.
Are you conscious? The world is grappling with the deepening power and grain crises. And Turkey is proven as the one handle to get out of each crises. Turkey is marching for humanity…
