Turkey Syria - News & Updates

[hodor]

Turkey cannot be “confined” to its borders and the country’s potential must not be limited, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.


Speaking during an award ceremony for the country’s top scientists and prospective researchers, he said, “We will be in a much better place in the future. Turkey is not just a place confined in an area of 782,000 square kilometers,” he was quoted as saying by the Daily Sabah publication.

Referring to the ongoing crisis in Syria, he said, “The events in Syria remind us that Turkey is bigger than Turkey itself.”

Yeah look at the money coming from Saudi Arabia,Qatar,Turkey and other sources. Broke Syrian rebels already building stuff.

Thats from private investments. lol

Believe it or not, Idlib has one of the more developed economic areas in Syria. They took the least developed and poorest areas of Syria and made it one of the better areas.

The corruption is lower in Idlib and there was a more liberalized economy there instead of state controlled and patronage backed businesses in Syria under Assad, where only ppl close to Assad were allowed to own anything significant.

The annoying thing with Erdogan is that he believes he has the right to interfere and intervene in what he perceives as the "Ottoman world". That's like saying Greece has the right to interfere in the former Byzantine world,Italy in the entire Roman world,Pakistan in the former Mughal Empire territory etc. etc.

Slight correction.

The "beating heart" of the Mughal Empire was Bengal and so it would be BD in this case but your point is very valid.

Syrian Money from Syrian businessmen invested in Syria. you just mad cuz Idlib is doing well economically. its funny people were comparing the people from the SAA controlled countryside flooding to Idlib to do shopping after the regime fell as something akin to the Berlin Wall falling and East Germans flooding into West Germany to buy western products. lol, nothing to do with Saudi, Turkey or Qatar. Those rebels managed to have better economic management than the Assadist system of state control and family patronage.

Turkey setting up two military academies in Aleppo and Air Defense Training in Homs.

I suspect we may see air defense sales and transfer of weaponry in the long term as well.

I am struggling to see what's the problem with that?

Moghuls were based out of Delhi, The ideological successor to the Muslim legacy in the Subcontinent is Pakistan, and the Pakistan movement which was transnational, Bangladesh separated itself from a transnational Subcontinental movement. Maybe you can argue post Haseena and Awami League, there is an attempt to recultivate ties with Pakistan and the TransNational South Asian Muslim Identity, I don't see how Bangladesh is a successor to the Moghuls, Bengal was a province and a well to do area, but political power rested with Delhi.

Yes I know but the closest "successor" state to Mughals is going to be BD as it shares the same religion and accounted for half of it's wealth.
