Defense Minister Yaşar Güler responded to a question about establishing a defense alliance with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan
-- Turkiye's national security cannot depend on a single alliance.
-- We cannot rely solely on NATO.
-- If Turkiye is left out of the issue of European security, not only will we suffer, but they will too.
-- Our NATO membership does not prevent us from cooperating with other countries

Hypocrites.

Interesting how quickly the context has shifted. Not long ago, Canada had suspended export licenses for key optical systems used in Turkish drones. Today, however, the tone is markedly different. Responding to a journalist’s question on whether Türkiye could emerge as a key partner for Canada amid the shifting global balance of power, particularly in defense and nuclear energy, Prime Minister Mark Carney signaled openness to deeper cooperation with Ankara.
He said Canada sees “a series of opportunities to deepen our commercial relationship with Turkey,” noting that he has already begun discussions with President Erdoğan in New York. Carney added that cooperation could extend to defense and nuclear energy, while highlighting Türkiye’s global leadership in manufacturing, including advanced manufacturing, as a strong foundation for broader partnership.

Updating Turkey's deal would require buy-in from the European Council. However, Greece and Cyprus are staunchly opposed to warming relations without a goodwill gesture first from Ankara.
Cyprus wants Ankara to allow its ships into Turkish ports, according to an EU official. Ankara does not recognize Cyprus due to the 1974 division of the island following a Turkish military invasion.
"The strength of any future partnership needs to be underpinned by good political relations with our member states, and especially good neighbourly relations and relations with Cyprus," Kos said.

The Greeks would approve if the Cypriots don't block.
Basically, their goal is to gain access to Turkish infrastructure in order to improve the island's connectivity with Europe. Living in Southern Cyprus remains quite costly. I believe the CGs are not merely seeking a symbolic win but are genuinely attempting to reduce inflation, too.

The European Investment Bank is making its return to Turkey. They left Türkiye due to the oil and gas conflict with Cyprus.
The EBRD, on the other hand, has remained present and Turkey constitutes its most significant investment portfolio. Last year, they invested €3.2 billion in Turkey.

So, the EU-Turkey relationship is slowed down by the Greeks although the real choke is Southern Cyprus.

They need to update the Customs Union and provide Visa free travel like they did for all those other countries, before I see Turkey doing anything for these snakes. They promised all sorts of things during the Refugee crisis in return for Turkey saving them, and delivered nothing.
Turks shouldn't be dying over the Baltics or in Ukraine when these SOBs don't even update a basic Customs Union agreement to protect Turkey in all these FTA that they have been signing with all these countries, let alone EU membership.

God Bless Qatar, they are providing airlift for Turkish operations in Somalia.
I didn't realize how many C-17s Qatar had, not bad for a small country. Having the same airlift capacity as the UK.

I think people should stop referring to the issue being UAE, but focus on "Abu Dhabi" as the "problem child" seems to "Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan" only ?
