What will happen when Erdogan will Trump meet?

Erdogan is going to America and will meet President Trump, but overall the atmosphere among the NATO allies is not very encouraging. Read More

Erdogan has also said some bitter things before departure.

The European Union foreign minister agreed on Monday to impose economic sanctions on Turkey even before Turkish President R.Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to the US began.

They say that Turkey has violated Cyprus’ maritime economic zone by drilling in the divided Cyprus area. To this, President Erdogan said that the ban imposed on his country for drilling in the Cyprus sea area could have an effect on the Union’s talks with Turkey.

Erdogan also says that Turkey will send the captured Islamic State fighters to Europe. Read More

Turkey wants to join the European Union, but looking at the current situation, it seems that NATO’s organization may not disintegrate.

Erdogan has criticized the European Union’s decision and also said that he will not stop drilling in the eastern Mediterranean. Erdogan says that Turkey is working in its continental area, which is owned by the Turkic Cypriots.

Before leaving for Washington, Erdogan criticized the European Union’s decision in Ankara, saying Turkey was acting according to its entitlements based on international laws.

Erdogan told journalists, “Hey EU, you know: Turkey is not among the countries that you have come to know till now. We are the country that is on the negotiating table with you. This conversation will end unchallenged. “

The European Union is dependent on Turkey in many respects. There are more than 3.5 million refugees in Turkey. In 2016, an agreement was reached to prevent refugees from coming to Europe.

In this agreement, there was the talk of closing the Aegean Seaway. Erdogan has repeatedly warned that if Turkey does not get help from European countries, then he will send these refugees to Europe.

On Tuesday, Erdogan said, “You can take it lightly, but (in Europe) these doors will open and these members of Daesh will be sent to you. Don’t try to stop Turkey’s development in Cyprus.”

Turkey was attacked in Cyprus after a small rebellion inspired by Greece. It was in the year 1974 after which Cyprus was divided into two parts.

After this, many attempts were made to make peace here but all failed. Now after the discovery of resources in the sea area of ​​Cyprus, the matter has become complicated.

EU relations with Turkey involved in NATO are deteriorating over the years. Especially after the failed uprising in Turkey in 2016, European countries often surround Turkey on human rights questions.

Many European Union countries believe that Turkey is not fit to join the European Union on the scale of the democratic record.

The decision to impose economic sanctions on Turkey has now come but after the attack in Syria against the Kurdish fighters last month, the sale of arms to it has also been stopped.

Western countries say that this attack will affect the fight with the Islamic State, although Turkey rejects their argument.

On Monday, Turkey said that it was sending the Islamic State fighters whom they had caught to the European countries of which they are citizens. There is also tension in Turkey and Europe about this matter.

Erdogan said, “Whether they accept them or not, we will continue to send them back.”

Erdogan is going to Washington and is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Earlier, he also said that the condition of evacuating the area from the Kurds for the ceasefire in Syria was not fulfilled.

Erdogan says that in the agreement reached with the US and Russia, it was decided that the exit of the Kurdish fighters from the radius of 30 kilometres was not done.

Erdogan said, “Neither Russia nor America can evacuate the area from terrorist groups in the hours or days that were agreed upon.”

Erdogan has also admitted that there is some tension between the two NATO allies (US and Turkey). Erdogan said, “We are doing this tour at a time when the relationship between Turkey and America is going through a stressful phase.”

Turkey’s Russian advance defence system is also one of the issues causing tension between Turkey and America. Along with this, Erdogan also demands the extradition of Fatullah Gülen from America. The Maulana, who lives in the US, was accused by Erdogan of plotting the 2016 rebellion in Turkey.

The US says that it excluded Turkey from the F35 fighter aircraft program. Under this program, fighter aircraft were to be sold and manufactured in Turkey.

However, the US has not yet imposed any ban on Turkey. America is not happy with Turkey’s attack against the Kurds, after all, the Kurds have supported America in a war with the Islamic State.
