Yes, NATO/US will lose control of Turkish straits. First Crimea, then Istanbul. Confinement of Black sea fleet ends.
Also if we are talking about centuries old animosity, then Iran too, comes to my mind. They are buddies now.
@pmaitra : Erdokan cozying up to Putin because of the coup attempt??
Also Turkey's relationship with US and EU are turning sour slowly but surely.
A new chapter? Goodbye NATO?
There was a coup alright, but it was Erdokhan's coup.
Ataturk must be turning in his grave. Islamization of turkey in full swing now.
The US hand in this episode, we need to know that.
Maybe the turkish army is incompetent but that is not a conclusion to be drawn from this incident.
It was staged and aparently the soldiers didn't even know it was a coup, they thought it was a training exercise.
:wtf:
Wow this is a very important development?
@pmaitra: Do you remember sometime back I told you about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergenekon_(allegation)
Apparently they have links to the Eurasianism ideaologists in russia too. :D
:hmm:
