@MardroH83405@TurcoDiabl39887 They ruled over mixed populations and even had high ranking officials in different ethnicities. But it doesn't change the fact that they were Turkish empires. You make it sound like an Arab, Turk and Greek came together and formed an empire. No it was all Turks.
@MardroH83405@TurcoDiabl39887 As far as I know Roman empire had even Arab emperors. Leon 3rd was speaking Arabic. All the Ottoman emperors were Turks (though some had Slavic moms) so were the Huns. It wasn't that diverse in Turkic empires
@LionOfMacedon@greekcitytimes Considering the highest NATO participation (in comparison greece refuses to participate many of them) in NATO missions mere wrong purchase won't change their importance. Those who know the case deep also know that Turkey is valuable partner. Political tensions are temporary.
@LionOfMacedon@greekcitytimes S-400 purchase. But that's not an unsolvable issue. Soon it will be replaced and Turkey will be back in program. There might be a decision for that on upcoming NATO summit. We will sit and wait.
@MardroH83405@TurcoDiabl39887 Empires are basically large kingdoms with many etnicities living under its rule. Founders are the most important class. If the ruling class is turkic it doesn't matter whether it's army has soldiers of different etnicities. Huns and Ottomans are Turks therefore.
@LionOfMacedon@greekcitytimes Turkey already is a reliable NATO partner. It has the highest participation rate in NATO missions and has huge value in military assets and knowledge. Anti-Turkey haters opinions don't matter a lot when real reports are served to US admin.
@Demir_Rod@Emir_1867 Amerikan çıkarların asla kendi ülkelerin çıkarlarının arkasına koymazlar. Eğer ABD çıkarları satılmasını gerektiriyorsa satarlar. Satmamakta direteni de (Bob menendez) saf dışı bırakırlar.
@LionOfMacedon@greekcitytimes US congress puts US interests above everything else. If this serves their interests they won't hear the lobbyists. You can't divert their foreign policy by simply dropping few million dollars.
