Despite Turkey's full trade embargo on Israel since May 2024 (over Gaza), and Erdoğan's fiery rhetoric against Israel, Azerbaijani oil keeps reaching Israel via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline and Ceyhan port. Imports jumped 31% in 2025 to ~94k bpd — 46% of Israel's total oil. Is it "words only"? Let's break it down. 🧵

Unfortunately a fact. Türkiye’s EU accession bid was killed by racism and Islamophobia early in its accession process.
Türk bakan Hakan Fidan: ▪️Türkiye şartları karşılasa bile Avrupa Birliği’nde Türkiye’yi üye yapacak siyasi irade yok. ▪️Bu süreç 2007’de Sarkozy döneminde fiilen bitirildi..

President Trump and Ambassador Tom Barrack have displayed visionary leadership and pragmatism alongside valued NATO ally Türkiye. Türkiye has played an instrumental role in assisting Syria’s stabilization after over a decade of mass murder under butcher Assad, who correctly fled to Moscow. We don’t sanction friends. We work together for a better future.

573 years ago, we took Constantinople from Rome and made it our capital. May this glorious conquest be celebrated forever.

You guys are too young to remember.. But Macron was alligning France with Russia in practical support of Haftar, while Turkey was backing the NATO, UN, EU engaged Libyan gov.. But we were still reading articles on how Turkey was betraying West and NATO in Libya.. Those were the days..
Except that there is really no military threat to Greece from Turkey.. and if there was, NATO would be the main framework to deescalate and stop the madness.. A symbolic French presence means nothing if this was genuinely a risk or an issue.. This is more about France’s East Med ambitions and positioning.

The Greek Cypriots didn’t accept Annan Plan and stormed out of Crans Montana talks despite Turkey agreeing a gradual pull out of troops.
Dear Charles, since you are talking about double standards, let me remind you that Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974, and still occupies European territory, 🇨🇾🇪🇺

In a recent speech, @EU_Commission Pres. @vonderleyen portrayed 🇹🇷 as influenting Europe along with 🇷🇺🇨🇳. It's totally inconsistent with recurrent signals for stronger cooperation on security & defense and it is a geopolitically flawed analysis.

AIPAC PROSTITUTE says what?
Turkey, the country that funds Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, hates Israel, loves Russia and Iran…good luck getting the F35, F16, and any other American made defense platform. I told Erdoğan in 2018 and I tell him again: you’re NOT getting the F35.

Judeo-Christians are hilarious. They claim to have ‘discovered’ a Bible verse requiring Christians to serve Jews — something 100s of Popes and saints missed for 2,000 years… but an American pastor on his private jet finally cracked the code. 😂
The Turkish minister of foreign affairs displays a map with the Turkish flag over the entire Middle East and Europe. Arab countries condemn Israel for even the slightest hint of an imagined “Greater Israel” project, yet they pay no attention to the real Ottoman ambition. Why would they? If it’s Islamic, then it’s not an occupation, its the Islamic Caliphate.

Turkey does not love Russia or Iran, in fact they are adversaries.. Turkey does not fund Hamas or Muslim Brotherhood.. Turkey already has one of the largesr F16 fleets in the world.. and hosts US nukes.. and radar systems that provide missile defence intelligence.. Fair to criticise Ankara on many issues.. And yes, Turkey and Israel are now direct competitors for regional influence.. These polemics do not serve US interests as it seeks to untangle itself from a war it did got pulled in, a NATO it wants other members to play an active role..

Israel’s propagandists in DC are now openly calling for an Israeli preemptive attack against Turkiye. Are they serious people? No they are clowns, but they are exactly the clowns that got the US into the war in Iran

Anyone with an iota of understanding of foreign policy would recognize how insane this comparison is, given that Turkey has one of NATO’s largest standing militaries and a robust domestic defense industry spanning drones, air defense, and naval assets. Framing this through a 1967 lens is not serious analysis and I’m sure deep down Rubin knows that. But this “analysis” is meant to serve a purpose, which is to normalize preemptive war rhetoric against Turkey so that any Isreali escalation (if it were to ever come to that) is framed as a logical next step rather than a manufactured one.

That is why Turkey immediately shot down a Russian fighter jet when it entered Turkish airspace in 2015, kept Russia and Iran out of opposition-controlled areas in northern Syria for more than ten years while Netanyahu did the exact opposite in southern Syria in 2018 (!!)...

Galatasaray’ın bu sezon puan kaybettiği maçlardan sonra hakemlerin bir sonraki hafta Süper Lig’de maç alamama istatistiği devam ediyor. Oğuzhan Çakır tüm maçı Galatasaray’a hediye etmesine rağmen puan kaybettikleri için 1. lig maçına atandı. @MHK_Resmi
