@NabilaEUspox @eu_eeas Isn’t it unfair to criticize 🇹🇷 in the fields of fundamental rights & freedoms and block chapters 23 (judiciary&fundamental rights) & 24 (justice, freedom&security) because one MS wishes so and this is only for political reasons? @JosepBorrellF @EU_Commission @eucopresident

@lemondefr On va voir si certains membres de l’🇪🇺 vont demander des sanctions contre le 🇬🇧 comme ils ont fait pour la 🇹🇷. En effet, ces deux pays ne font que défendre leurs droits souverains! @EUCouncil @EU_Commission @JosepBorrellF @eu_eeas @francediplo @GermanyDiplo @FCDOGovUK

@CBeaune On dit que tu es l’homme de Sarkozy au sein du gouvernement et que ton attitude vicieuse dans les affaires européenne n’est pas une bonne chose pour le Président. Est-ce vrai ? @EmmanuelMacron @JeanCASTEX @Elysee

Int. community needs 🇹🇷’s contribution in EastMed, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, the Caucasus, the Aegean&the Black Sea regions. No chance to get 🇹🇷 on board w/ such a shortsighted approach @JosepBorrellF @eu_eeas @EU_Commission @EUCouncil @eucopresident @vonderleyen

These conclusions prove once again that the 🇪🇺 is far from being geopolitical & that 🇬🇷&🇨🇾 are holding the 🇪🇺 captive.

@euobs This would be a biased and unfair move from the 🇪🇺. The 🇪🇺 needs 🇹🇷 more than 🇬🇷 or 🇨🇾 should it want to become geopolitical. Like this the 🇪🇺 can only watch regional developments from far @JosepBorrellF @eu_eeas @EU_Commission @EUCouncil @eucopresident @vonderleyen @aneichhorst

@Ouponatime38 @Reuters @SecPompeo @NATO @StateDept @POTUS The 🇺🇸 wouldn’t transfer tech as they haven’t done in the past w/ F-16s or recently w/F-35 jet fighters. Plus Patriots are x2 more expensive than S-400s (6bil$ vs.2.5bil$) & less accurate compared to its rival. Despite all its disadvantages 🇹🇷 insisted to buy Patriots.

[Il Consigliere @ConsigliereIl]

@Reuters @SecPompeo @NATO @StateDept @POTUS 🇹🇷: OK, I will buy somewhere else then.
🇺🇸: If you buy I will punish you with sanctions.
🇹🇷: 👀

[Il Consigliere @ConsigliereIl]

@Reuters 1) 🇹🇷: I need air defense systems. I want to purchase Patriots from you as we are allies.
🇺🇸: I don’t sell Patriots to you.
🇹🇷: I really need such a system. I’m surrounded by rough states.
🇺🇸: No way.@SecPompeo @NATO @StateDept @POTUS

@achopkins1 In fact the correct word is ‘canbaz’ and not ‘cambaz’. Canbaz means acrobat, the one who puts his life in danger or the one who is playing with his life. Can means spirit, life. Baz is a Farsi word and means playing. kumarbaz = gambler, düzenbaz= trickster etc...

@OliverVarhelyi Please get some geography lessons! There’s no region called “Western Balkans”! This is an artificial terminology manufactured for a specific aim. Please find attached herewith a map of the Balkans so that you won’t remain ignorant! @eu_eeas @EU_Commission @szijjartopeter

@SalinaGrenet @AnastasiadesCY @CYpresidency @Christodulides @CyprusMFA @CyprusinFrance @GeorgeChacalli @cnainenglish @francediplo_EN Dear Ambassador, congratulations. N’oubliez jamais que vous allez seulement servir auprès de l’Administration cypriote grecque et qu’il y a deux États souverains et égaux sur l’île. Hope that you’ll be fair&objectif in your assessments that you’re going to send to Quai d’Orsay.

@NikosDendias @JosepBorrellF @EU_Commission @eucopresident @EUCouncil @eu_eeas @KKTCCB For ignorant&biased 🇪🇺officials&Greek&GCs: 🇹🇷 is fighting PKK/YPG terrorist organization in Syria, separatist Haftar in Libya along w/ the National Government recognized by the @UN and defending her maritime boundaries against aggressive 🇬🇷&🇨🇾. Hope you got it! @UNSMILibya

[Il Consigliere @ConsigliereIl]

@NikosDendias 🇹🇷 is conducting military operations to fight terrorism, saving lives of TCs from Greek&GC atrocities, defending her sovereign rights against the maximalist demands of 🇬🇷. That’s so simple. @JosepBorrellF @EU_Commission @eucopresident @EUCouncil @eu_eeas @KKTCCB

[Il Consigliere @ConsigliereIl]

@NikosDendias 🇹🇷 should ask her citizens to stop visiting 🇬🇷 & Greek islands once the pandemic is over so that they’ll starve.

2) Those who impose the sanctions may end up hurting themselves more than they hurt those at whom they are aiming. @EU_Commission @EUCouncil @eucopresident @vonderleyen @EU2020DE @JosepBorrellF @eu_eeas @NachoSAmor @SLagodinsky @aneichhorst @GermanyDiplo

1) Economic sanctions stimulate a drive for self-sufficiency and consequent prosperity in the target nation or induce still other nations to develop the capacity to meet the inner demand in the target nation.
