View Full Version : Turkey not far away from war: Erdoğan

Are you pro or anti-war with our neighbour Syria?


Turkey is not seeking a war, but must be prepared for war if it wants peace since it is not far away from a conflict, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Oct. 5 following a killer shelling from Syria hit the country.

“We are not war-lovers, but we are not far from war either,” Erdoğan said, speaking at an event in Istanbul. “The saying goes: ‘prepare for war if you wish for peace.’ So war becomes the key for peace.”
The Turkish Parliament voted in favor of a motion which gave green light to the government to stage cross-border raids on Syria after the Oct. 3 shelling from there killed five Turkish citizens. “I am calling once more on the al-Assad regime and its supporters: Don’t dare to test Turkey’s patience,” Erdoğan said, adding that testing Turkey’s capacity for deterrence would be “a fatal mistake.”


“We are not bluffing and we will follow this incident closely. God willing, the Syrian people would soon be saved from this cruelty and governed by an administration that guarantees the rights of all parties.”
The Turkish government has signaled it intends to use the parliamentary mandate as a trump card to deter the Syrian regime.

“Turkey is not a country eager for war, or which wants war. We are always for peace. This should not be considered a motion of war. Turkey is at the same time a great country capable of protecting its own rights, the rights of its own citizens and its borders,” Deputy Prime Minister Beşir Atalay said. “This motion is an instrument and an opportunity in regards to both deterrence and being prepared for probable developments.”

Speaking to reporters in Malatya on Oct. 5, Parliament Speaker Cemil Çiçek touched on objections that have been raised to Parliament’s approval of the government’s motion. “God willing, there will be no need to fulfill the requirements of that motion. The Syrian administration and its supporters are already a powder keg,” Çiçek was quoted as saying by Anatolia news agency. “Turkey’s deterrent power has been put forth. There was a need for this,” Mehmet Şandır, the deputy chair of the Nationalist Movement Party’s (MHP) parliamentary group, which supported the motion, said in Ankara. If the motion had been passed only with votes from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), its message would be weak, Şandır said.

Although I've been supportive for recent strikes due to their mortar attacks to Akçakale in Urfa and shutting down a jet, overall I'm against it. Our involvement was still wrong from the very beginning, this is clearly not our war. We should've supported neither FSA bandits or Assad, or even accept Syrian refugees. A direct involvement would even lead to WWIII, this is different from Libya. Fuck you Erdoğan. Go join FSA yourself.

This crap went so far. A buffer zone should be established for refugees. You can't repatriate them without establishing this buffer zone. If you send refugees back to their homes without any cautions Assad may slay them as cattles and this may cost to Turkey. There is a regime which is supported by a lunatic Iranians over there. Note that, without Assad regime Iran will no longer be influent in the region. Iran is aware of war, because they know they cannot intervene in a Syria with pretty harsh situations.

Of course, the reason Assad lasted long is because of Iranian support mostly, and help form Hezbollah, and as well Russian backing. Without these, Assad would have been topped a long time ago. Since his government saw defection. Syria is an arm to Iranian influence in the region, but this shift occurred, once the American toppled the former regime in Iraq, and established a Shia Islamist government that has become more and more into Iran's arm. The only way to end and weaken this, is by removing Assad. Iran does not want to loose influence in Syria if they do, their influence on the Mideast would end and they would be pushed back. Iranian, Russian, and Chinese flags were burned. Turkish flags were risen. Turkey should just invade and remove the Assad government. However the U.S is trying to do a balance of power that it shifted after 2004.The Assad regime will topple or the civil war will continue for years to come. The Assadites have lost all support from the locals, and more and more communities are being against them.

I will not care if is Turkey to attack first Syria, but a military intervention endorsed by UN to overthrow the Assad's regime is necessary to stop the war crimes in act, but I do not think will happen because there isn't too much oil in Syria, in addition China and Russia, permanent members of the UN, are against due to the economic relations that have with Syria.

These Gulf Arab states and Suadi Arabia has enough means to topple Assad. Arabs should not involve Turkey into their dirty business.

It is Erdogan's fault, Syria is not "harassing" Turkey...Erdogan was supporting the terrorist FSA since the beginning. As for stuff coming in from the direction of Syria, Turkey is responding to that and its enough.

This is funny because the revolt started and was aided by the one of them most important sheikhs of my mother's tribe. My mother's tribe are all fighting Assad. Again you don't know what you are talking about, there has been many Qataris, Bedouins, Saudis and so on fighting against Assad. Saudi Arabia has continued to fund the rebels and to aide them in military weapons. However Saudi Arabia can not compare to the power Turkey has. Saudi Arabia and Qatar only provide aide, and there to far to do any influence in Syria, however Turkey is next door.

Erdogan was the one of the best leaders Turkey ever had. Under his rule Turkey has improved in many sectors, especially economically. Erodgan was doing the right choice to topple Assad and he was supporting the right people.

And I was right by using that word, who talks about "Azeris" or Azerbaijan here? Your a moron.

I don't know how more clear it could be, this is not Turkey's business, or something that would justify the loss of Turkish lives. The real security problem of Turkey is N.Iraq, instead of that its funny to talk about a war with Syria, Turkey does not face any security threat from Syria. Erdogan and his government should focus on real security threats of Turkey, not to aid terrorists.

Erdogan is a Islamist dog who dreams of destroying Ataturk's values and establish a Sharia state in which he will be the Sultan, and supporting terrorists can never be the right thing. But no wonder Arabs love him.

I'm not talking about innocent people, and may all the innocent souls who died so far in that conflict rest in peace, but FSA, the organization and its fighters, are animal war criminals just as Assad's forces. The proof of what they did to innocent Shias is there, but maybe you are too blind to see them.

It's Turkey's business in every way. It's not in the interest of Turkey to have Iran's influence in the region. North Iraq has it's own issues, but Syria is now where the stakes are. Erdogan is just supporting the right people who are looking for freedom not terrorists.


Erdogan is a Islamist dog who dreams of destroying Ataturk's values and establish a Sharia state in which he will be the Sultan, and supporting terrorists can never be the right thing. But no wonder Arabs love him.

Erdogan and his policies, despite what his political ideology is, has improved and strengthened Turkey in the region and you can't deny that. He is not supporting terrorists but freedom fighters, who were oppressed and who asked originally for reforms and protested in a peaceful manner before Iran and Russia had pot their noses and especially when Iran began to send it's Basj and Hezbollah fighters, that's when it became a civil war.

That's a nature of war, and this what happens when people are oppressed. They will not have critical judgement. However Assad and his brigades have killed, tortured, and destroyed the homes of many people. Most Shias are not innocent, since they came from Lebanon and Iran aiding in the killing of the locals. The Alwaites have terrorized and often subjugated the Syrian Desert tribes, and tried to force them to assimilate to the general culture. There tents and way of live are often razed and their children are forced to go to school that has no benefit to them because it teaches them different culture and way of life. They are not allowed to have their own schools. They also are discriminated against due to their Sunni faith, and the way they look being shorter/smaller and darker than the general population, so of course I would feel sympathy and want them to live in freedom because they are part of my family. It was only with the bravery of the Desert tribes of Syria, that the large Sunni population began to revolt against the sectarian Assad regime. Yes they do welcome Turkey intervention, just like Russia and Iran believe they can from this conflict, Turkey can in fact can and if it manages to topple Assad it would be a regional power in the Middle East.

I'm afraid many your leaders think same as Erdoğan and support Syrian rebels, too. I agree with the part where you claim the its possibly the rebels who's doing false flag to drag Turkey and rest of NATO into their conflict, but the hell with Erdoğan, Assad and Syrian rebel scum I say. We shoud just send a considerable number of troops down to the Syrian border and and watch there with caution and don't get involved from the very beginning, that's it. Although FSA hasn't declared themselves to be Islamist, they're heavily supported by Islamic terrorist organizations aswell, but then again Assad is also supported by Hezbollah, and Iran which is far more Islamic compared to Syria and Turkey, in other others words more of a 'greater devil'. If Iran also gets directly involved over the conflict, it would also turn into change secular attitude of Syrian government if they succeed, because Iran is known for their support for Islamic governments. Egypt is best example for that, Erdoğan suggested them to have secular government after the revolution but this statement got dissed by Muslim Brotherhood and received a threatening comment from Iran. Syria will probably be the similiar example, people are supporting Islamists indirectly and see them as "freedom fighters fighting against oppressive government" then expecting them to have secular government, the rebels promise that from the beginning (like NTC in Libya) then don't do that and have primitive Shariah law.

Revolts only occur when people feel they are being wronged and oppressed. The revolution was peaceful, and it was call to reform and bring more representation to the majority population, the Sunni Syrians, and to stop the assimilation of the Syrian Desert tribes and to keep their culture intact. However once Iran and Hezbollah were sent to Assad, this when it became a civil war, because they are like hounds attacking and killing people without mercy. Assad is war criminal and his toppling would be a positive step. He has murdered and raped many, if he is not willing to go, he will collapse by the will of the people who are sick and tired of him. He has lost control over much of Southern Syria.

The problem is:
- He is destroying Kemalism and thus the freedom a secular state guarantees. The minorities - sooner or later - will feel it. According to EU officials freedom of opinion and freedom of media are becoming more and more limited (source is a mainstraim German newspaper)
- I doubt that his growling is only a game. The guy is a passionate islamist and both secular/Alevi Turks and other countries will sooner or later learn that the hard way.

The problem is:
- He is destroying Kemalism and thus the freedom a secular state guarantees.

All of his attempts to change the separation between church and state paradigm have been blocked and ever since the hijab thing he backed off.



The minorities - sooner or later - will feel it.

Minorities have been "feeling it" ever since Kemal himself tried to Turkify the Arabs and the Kurds. If anything this homeboy tried to bridge the distance between Turks and the minorities using their common ties (Sunnism), as can be seen with "Zero problem" policies with Kurds for a time being.


- I doubt that his growling is only a game. The guy is a passionate islamist and both secular/Alevi Turks and other countries will sooner or later learn that the hard way.

Even if he might be an uber Islamist with the "grand Jihad" being the only thing in his head, it will take at least two or three decades before Turkey can project it's new found prosperity and he KNOWS that. And even then he could do it right now he, just as all of other politicians, is subjugated to will of the native big money business men which help keep him in power (and I doubt that sanctions coming because he tried to "erase Israel from the face of the Earth" would sit well with the Turkish blue bloods).

Not at all, the Bedouins are against the Assad regime for the most part. The revolt occurred with them actually. Many of the Bedouins don't and have never supported the Assad regime, especially those who fought against cultural assimilation and trying to keep their ancestors way of life. Those who are with the government are seen as traitors and against the interest of the said people. My mom is Syrian Bedouin and she supportive of the rebels and certainly not of Assad, and so are all of her relatives, and even some are fighting against him.

They don't care about the Sunnis, they are just gaining ground.

Not at all, they have never been benevolent toward my kin. However that this might be true, but they can and probably will never expand that strongly outside of the Golan heights, it will just create a state of war that will not be ending. However the Alwaites, Lebanese Hezbollah, and Iranian Basj are murdering and raping my kin, and they no respect toward them.

Iran is all behind of course. Iran want to be the regional power in the region. Hezbollah goal is really to root out the Sunnis and others, and to empower Iran. Anyone who is not Shia or Iranian that support this organization need to check his head. Of course they don't they only use them to gain some political ground and some form of an alliance from the gullible people.

Actually Hezbollah and Amal both aided the Maronites and Israelis to slaughter the Palestinians in that camp, which was composed of Sunni Muslims and Greek Orthodox Christians. Hezbollah rather in fact gave the green light for this to happen. Hezbollah has destroyed much of Lebanon for it's master Iran. Of course even Persian was being spoken in Lebanon instead of Arabic, just because they were Shia they were given homes and other benefit at the expense of others. The same is repeating in Syria, but the Syrian Desert tribes, the Syrian Sunnis, and others will not let that happen. This why if Turkey enters into this conflict Iran is gone, and Iran is clear threat to Turkey.

The military used to be a stronghold against islamism and as far as I can judge it I would say that this stronghold has fallen.


That "stronghold" was more leftist than some nations in the Soviet block and each time any government no mater how secular it was tried any greater free market policies to benefit the general population, the military would just flip the table, accuse them of Islamism and end any experiment which would free up economy from the clutches of the inefficient State owned companies (whose "people chosen" representatives employed A LOT of family members of the military higher ups). Why do you think Turkey was nearly, actually scratch that, WAS a third world country for the last half of the last century?

Does anyone remember the incredibly high inflation of the 80s and 90s which the "big bad Islamist" put back in check after breaking and shredding all the bureaucracy, inefficient economic policies, corruption and redtape which comes as perks for being a left leaning state? Don't tell me that I know better economic history of Turkey than all the Turkish members here :rolleyes:


ThOk, he might have improved the situation for ethnic minorities - as long as they are Sunni muslims.

During Erdogan's Premiership more non-Muslims settled in Turkey than during the times of the "secular" (read Socialist) leadership. And I doubt that more than 100,000 Njemaca, Greeks and Brits would come if the non-Sunnis were hunted down in the streets or their rights trampled in any way. :rolleyes:


And as I said, the freedom of speech is declining in Turkey.

That is BS. He broke up two major news paper monopolies whose concept of "freedom of speech" was the same one of the Newscorp. Check how many new INDEPENDENT AND FOREIGN Information sources (television, web based and paper) have been established during the last 10 years and then compare that number with the number established since 1945-1999.


He is not yet in the position to fulfill his wet dreams of Turkey as a super power. But he most certainly will do what he can do to prepare it. Although there is no direct danger in the next years, we maybe can expect some action in a few decades.

That's all what they are, wetdreams. You would be hearing more of the similar rhetoric from your government if your people chose the nationalists who want to reclaim "Prussia" and Silesia and repatriate the Poles.

They will be benevolent to your people the same way how they are benevolent to those American goy who are now having their houses taken away and are forced to go in debt for a good part of their life to their hooked nosed overlords if they want to have any good education to secure food for their families.



However the Alwaites, Lebanese Hezbollah, and Iranian Basj are murdering and raping my kin, and they no respect toward them.

Serbs and Croats did that to my kind in much greater number and for a longer time, and that will never be forgotten less forgiven. But I understand that they are a necessary asset if my people want to have any future which doesn't involve selling them to slavery and whoring out our resources to Njemci. Even for Croats it's not too late to repair the damage their "benevolent German brothers" caused to their economy.

Gov’t puts army into ‘high state of readiness’

Turkey’s Armed Forces have been put on a ‘high state of readiness’ as the country’s chief of staff vows to respond more strongly to any hostile act by Syria


Turkey’s government has put its military into a “high state of readiness” over simmering tensions along the border with Syria amid a continuing visit by the country’s top soldier to inspect troops massed along the frontier.

“We want to give a strong message to the Syrian regime that Turkey is determined to protect its borders and people and is ready to do whatever necessary – that is the meaning of high-level readiness,” a high-ranking official said.

The new level, which was ordered by the government after a Syrian shell killed five Turks in Akçakale
last week, is one degree higher than when Ankara changed its rules of engagement after Damascus shot down a Turkish jet in June. (Turkish government upgrades military readiness)

Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel, meanwhile, targeted Syria as he continued his inspection of
troops on the border. “We are here, and we are standing tall,” he said in Akçakale yesterday. “We have retaliated [for Akçakale], and if it continues, we’ll respond more strongly.”

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, meanwhile, said yesterday Turkey had no intention of intervening
in Syria’s domestic politics while blaming President Bashar al-Assad for leading his nation into
civil war. (Turkey warns of tougher response on Syria shelling)

In Homs, the government launched a new operation to dislodge militants ahead of a plan to send government troops to fight in Aleppo.

What aid you are talking about? EU is not in a position to deliver funds for few years except providing rescue funds for their bankrupt members. Turkey never received any considerable funds from EU while providing massive benefits to the western European states due to EU customs union agreement. You are able to import Turkish goods because of low or no customs tax value from our side due to stupid EU customs union thing.

On the other hand, Turkey is not some small state to get funds from EU because we are the 6th biggest economy in Europe. So ficus, quit imagining things from your mind.
