Russia and Turkey

According to wiki, 70-80% of turks identify themselves as turks. Kurds represent 20%. That's not enough to destroy turkey. Trump will be removed at the next election and all its crazy staff.

Weakining of turkey, yes. Partition, unlikely.

Erdogan is not predictible also. He can just call Trump, give him the ostage and tell one or two compliments and everything will be normal again. With all its opposants in jail however.

Why do you think France is the capital of tourism? We hosted the World Cup but they won it. We must take lessons.

Because of the history, nice places to see ...

Russia is qeen as a dangerous and not welcoming country. You do nothing to change that. You have RT and Sputnik and they don't promote tourism in russia. Even those dictatures in ME whrre you can be sentance to death do better than you.

Turks BTW never orgonized it and do better than you.

that pretty much it.

People here think Russia is a terrible place for people who are gay or black. They think that they will be murdered on the streets by the police.

Russian tourism sucks because no one bothers to advertise Russia. Even the World Cup, most people were afraid. Afterwards they found out Russia was an awesome place and very hospitable. But that was only because they went to go see it anyway.

Western propaganda will make Russia out to be like Orc Land. Reality may be a whole lot different but most people won't know that. They are stupid in general so they are believed whatever they hear.

Turkey is a NATO country, people think because of that, Turkey must be best place ever to visit.

Saudi Arabia and others are terrible for tourists, and is honestly a bad place to go to. Yet people go travel there, as ISOS said.

Russia is inherently crap at advertising and promotion.

And when Serb citizens decide they are actually Albanians they get Kosovo...

Comments about that from people who went to the Soccer world cup... they were found to be stereotypes and wrong...

And that is the problem... western propaganda... I don't think Russia would benefit from a lot of English yobs going to the Black Sea in Russia... Russia would be better off having Russians that normally leave the country for their holiday actually exploring their own country instead... as one Russian found... going to the US and being interested in guns has gotten her put in jail... I bet her twitter account will set the story straight for wide eyed Russians who believe the American bullshit... land of the free and anyone can make it if they work hard...

Russia is inherently crap at advertising and promotion.

The more separation between Russia and the west is good for Russia... the west is infected and really not a good partner in anything.

Turkey under Erdogan has upset the EU and the US... it is perfectly possible they might want to destabilise the country themselves... they already had a shot at Erdogan... who says another one is impossible and wont be more successful?

At the end of the day I would personally prefer Turkey and Russia and Syria and Iran to work together to get rid of some real dirtbags... perhaps the Turkish plan is to send in some cannon fodder and then let the Russians and Syrians kill them all for them...

I remember reading an article recently where Micron said that Russia and Syria should not attack idlib because there will be French terrorists there and if they do attack they might flee Idlib and come back to France... so that is probably the reasoning behind most of the EU reticence at Russia squeesing the last pimple of ISIS and Al queda in the area... lets face it the civilians who live there must not be very nice people to put up with that crap... half of them will likely be family members of ISIS anyway...

Given "Racism" has become a clusterfuck of small amounts of truth, small amounts of debatable and far larger amounts of speculations and immediate accusations, Russia is probably far better off being seen as a "Racist" country.

Mass immigration is a symptom of an imbalanced world anyway. Most third world countries dont see how their people immigrating is worse for them than the host countries like the West.

Russia should remain 90% Russian, don't care if its "Racist". Same is true for any self respecting nation that don't see perpetual economic growth as a sustainable future.
World is overpopulated(rare exception like Russia which is underpopulated).

People increase, Land doesnt.
Protect your nation, people culture and bloodline, please.

the world dis not overpopulated yet. there are millions square kilometers unused. The problem is in how resources are divided. People were always wandering and travelling and emigrating. Russian consist of over 100 nationalities and racist is worst nightmare.

Besides in natural growth wobbling around 0 and no smart immigration you have little chance for economic development. Yes number of peope does count otherwise Switzerland would have more wight then China or Japan but it doesnt.

The best way to protect your nation is strong unity and culture able to assimilate others who want to join and contribute

You confuse business investments with politics.  Turkey is not at our border, if they are set on fire is only good for us.   What do we need from trade with Turkey that we can't get form China?  They offer nothing and are just another market for oil and gas, that will be the case regardless if they are partitioned or not.  They are stealing tourists that should be vacationing in Sochi, not in Anatolia.  All of that money will be going back into the Russian economy.   The collapse of Turkey gives Armenia breathing space and makes threats from Azerbaijan nullified.  The NK issue can finally be settled, the Kurdish issue can finally be resolved, the Cyprus issue will end, the threats to Greece will be eliminated.  The existence of Turkey is a cancer on the region, their demise will be a relief to all.

What a hateful and disgusting message. I think that's why Russian tourists are visiting Turkey because there are very rude people in Russia just like you. My best advice too you is follow the forum rules. https://www.russiadefence.net/t7624-listen-carefully, That thread also was opened by you.

Russia is already lost control in Armenia, just like Ukraine and Georgia. Citizens of Armenia and It's Army forced Serzh Sargsyan to resign and Western-backed Nikol Pashinyan became Prime Minister and now he's waiting for a right time to backstab Russia. Also, Iran, your best ally in ME, doesn't want an independent Kurdish state in the Middle East. If you wanna set up a Kurdish State in the ME, Iran will cut relations with Russia. If the Kurds take over Iran, They can threat Russia by using the Caspian Sea, because this is what USA wants and the Kurds serve only for American interests.

Calling for the partition of a state sponsor of terrorism is hardly breaking my rules. If you read them you will find they are to prevent personal attacks to members of this forum. Turkey is not a member of this forum, let me know if he joins.

Good for Pashinyan, there is not much he can do without Russia surrounded by enemies like Turkey and Azerbaijan. He is not anti-Russia but he is pro-European. Both Ukraine and Georgia are in economic crisis, with the collapse of the Turkish economy it will push them over the brink. The Kurd's in Iran are not as nationalist as the ones in the other enclaves, as long as they don't leave it doesn't effect Iran. There are much bigger minorities that Iran is worried about other than the Kurds like the Azeri Turks whose separatist movement is tacitly supported by Ankara. They can threaten Russia by using the Caspian Sea as a combined Azerbaijan would have vast resources along with a Turkish alliance.

Volodya, how do yoy imagine partition of Turdkey? Independent Kurdistan and what then?

What happens to Istanbul and the rest?

Kurdistan and Armenia would eat up the Eastern third, Syria would get Hatay and a few other coastal provinces with Arabs in it. The Euro side can be split up between Greece, Bulgaria and Russia gets a canal zone. All of the islands and West coast go to Greece. Turkey would be made up of the provinces around Ankara.

What about Istanbul? Should it be split up or given to one country,?

The rest... I like it.

A better system of international relationships cannot be based on considering countries cancers and dismembering them, independent of how noxious their current leadership can be. Every modern nation-state is a conglomerate of peoples, traditions and languages and hence subject to fractures and division, Russia being a prime example. Such attitudes coming from Russian nationals only lend legitimacy to current Russia-bashing hysteria and the attempts to break the country during the nineties. Thankfully current leadership understands what respect and constructive attitudes mean in the field of international relationships.

To summarize using a well-known phrasing, Erdogans come and go, the Turkish people stays.

When the Middle East's borders were drawn up by the West the people of those countries had no say. It has led to decades of war and civil strife. It is about time those mistakes were corrected to make a more peaceful and safer world. The partition of Turkey is a necessary step to achieve that. Turks talk all day about the partition of Syria but somehow it is taboo to turn it around on them?

The borders will be changing... it is a matter of who comes out on top.

Kurdistan would be attacked by neighbours. Armenian forces can be destroyed by turkish air force or at least get heavy causualities to enable azerbaidjan destroy them. Russia won't help any side as they sell weapons to both.

Assad's Syria can't hold its own territory. Let alone grabing a territory of a nato country. USA would use that to destroy assad and maje things better with Turkey which is a market of 80 million people.

Greece and bulgaria are nato and EU members. The canal would be used by nato forces if Turkey is not member anymore.

Perhaps you understand the same argument "partition is necessary for a safer world" can be applied to Russia too. Messing with borders under the excuse of past errors is the way to war not to peace. If countries need to change, they need to do it on their own decision and at their own speed. Don't believe the average Turk is wishing the destruction of Syria, the same I don't believe the average Russian is waiting their chance to subjugate everybody in the West. Normal people have no business in these insane schemes but end up paying the price of destabilization and wars. [/quote]

But west + Turkey actually applied this to Soviet Union already. Did anybody asked Serbians if they want to let Kosovo ? Do you think Soviet citizens wanted destruction of their country and years of calamity/crime? Tureky was very active in supporting Arab terrorists in Chechnya/Dagestan.


Who form Kurds had any say if they want to ztay in turkey as second class citizens? Well strong survive weak will be partitioned anyway.

You forget that Turkey already tried to partition Chechnya from us.  I spent nearly two years of my life fighting the Islamic terrorism they brought to the Caucasus.  To this day Turkey still harbours Shivani Basayev and twelve others wanted for war crimes yet they are allowed to walk the streets and coordinate terrorism.  Some of the men coordinate ISIL from Istanbul and Turkey lets this go on.  Turkey pays and arms Al-Queda, it is a state sponsor of terrorism if it isn't a terrorist state itself.  Do you know what Russians care about?  It isn't global domination, it is respect.  Turkey disrespects us every day and at every turn.  They need to learn that the Ottoman Empire isn't coming back, what is left of it is collapsing.

Putin says Russia, Turkey reach compromise on Syria

The president says Moscow and Ankara reach a compromise on resolving the Syrian crisis despite the divergence of opinion on some issues

MOSCOW, December 20. /TASS/. Moscow and Ankara have been able to reach a compromise on resolving the Syrian crisis despite the divergence of opinion on some issues, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters at his annual news conference.

"We should be satisfied with the development of Russian-Turkish relations in the economy and security spheres. Although our interests do not coincide sometimes, we do find compromise solutions on resolving the Syrian crisis. We respect the Turkish people’s national interests in this direction. We see that our Turkish partners are likewise ready to seek a compromise and reach that compromise with us for the good of the situation in Syria, for the good of the fight against terrorism and for the benefit of strengthening our relations," the Russian leader said.

Putin noted that ties between Russia and Turkey were expanding. "In spite of the fact that Turkey is a NATO member-country and honors its commitments as a member of the alliance, it pursues an independent foreign policy." "We appreciate that very much, this creates the conditions for predictability and stability of our relations," he stressed.

The Russian president pointed to the Turkish president’s role in cementing bilateral relations. "We hope the same trend will continue under the leadership of Mr. [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan," he added.

Answering a question about the role of founder of the Republic of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Putin said, "Ataturk was certainly an outstanding figure in Turkish history. He added a new bright chapter to the preservation and restoration of the Turkish statehood and did a lot for that."

"He was a great friend of Russia, cooperated with Russia, worked together with it, and we appreciate that very much," the president said. "Ataturk created the modern Turkish state and laid the foundation for it.".

Turkey's Purchases of Russian S-400, US Patriot Systems Not Connected - Kremlin

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Kremlin believes that Turkey's possible purchase of US Patriot Missile System and of Russian S-400 Triumph air defense systems are not connected, and that Russia-Turkey contract on S-400 purchase will be continued, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

"These processes are not connected. In this case, we are implementing the agreements that we already have reached with our Turkish colleagues. You know that the project and the contract related to S-400 is being implemented, and it will be continued," Peskov told reporters.

Moscow and Ankara may embark on joint production of high-tech weapons

Now that Erdogan's ruling AKP party had their ass handed to them in local elections his hold to power is more precarious than ever.  It makes our hand all the stronger as he struggles to hold on. I forsee Russian troops on Turkish soil in the not so distant future.

The Turkish business community is very active in Russian cooperation as they are salivating at the national projects (since they are now able to participate) and they are also giving preference to Russian businesses in Turkey.

Seems the Turks are wanting to have more to do with Russia than they want with the west. Since they no longer see themselves as westerners anymore. Much like growing sentiment of Russians seeing themselves as Eurasians over European now.

Some are still dreaming and in denial. Hoping for a "broken clock is right twice a day".

Turkey supplies thousands of illegally reverse engineered Kornet missiles to NLF to shoot Russians in Syria. Russia sold a few hundred Kornet to Turkey. Unless NLF has thousands of such missiles, they wouldn't waste them on machine guns, empty buildings, individual personnel. So Russia should immediately cancel sale of S-400 to Turkey which Turkey would illegally reverse engineer and shoot Russian aircraft over Syria. No country sells weapons to enemies. And Russia should be no exception.
