Desk clock behind them is the work by sculptor Evgeniy Lansere, "Pass through the Balkans" dedicated to the victory in Russo-Turkish war in 1878

The message goes far beyond a single victory in military conflict.

Throughout history there were few Russian rulers who won Russo-Turkish wars as there were many wars. What makes Catherine The Great to stand out is she was the first to declare Russian foreign policy designed around intent to destroy Ottoman Empire once and for all. She wanted to re-establish Bysantine Empire with capital in Constantinople and her descendants as rulers of new imperial dynasty. She even made first steps towards the goal: she captured Crimea (former Ottoman protectorate) and started expansion to Caucasus.

The displayed signs could mean a threat to partition Turkey with few new states appearing in the region. If that scenario to be played out none of the new states will be based on Oghuz identity. Turks will be gone from the map.

If Russia were to pull that off, it would gain instant popularity here as America will look terribly weak by comparison. There is already a feeling in Europe that America is deliberately exposing them to trouble in order to get rid of economic competitors.

Even if this happens (there’s a possibility) there will still be an Oghuz state somewhere in it, there are simply too many Turks for there not to be. It will probably be in the center/west part of Anatolia, with the East becoming Kurdistan and the territories across the Bosporus ceding to Greece

Russia could lose the war against turkey. Erdogan is the most beloved muslim leader amongst sunni muslims in the world right now and in a case of total open conflict erdogan would send one million volunteers mujaheddins from around the world to destroy russia inside russia with suicide missions and creating total chaos.
In reposnse putin could drop a nuclear bomb or thousands of conventional bombs which would make russia even more vulnerable to the infnite number of muslim extremist volunteers entering russian cities and blowing themselves up everywhere. Not to mention turkey has e powrful army and airforce.
Turkey so far is ahead in conflict with russia, they killed russian ambassador to turkey in turkey, they shot down 4 russian war planes so far with russian pilots, and if we assume that turkey has partnered up secretely with Isis they shot down a russian passanger plane filled with russian civilians.
Its no surprise putin is the one inviting erdogan to moscow every other month to settle things because is in russia’s interest not to go to war with turkey.

Yea he has a base with Islamists not Jihadi's there is a difference. Islamists are kind of pussies, look at the Muslim Brotherhood; they get cucked like every 10 years by the government.
