Turkey backs Ukraine’s NATO bid & Crimea policy, says military industry cooperation with Kiev is ‘not aimed against 3rd countries’
Ankara has backed Ukraine’s bid to join NATO and vowed to expand defense industry cooperation as well as “coordinate steps” with Kiev to reclaim Crimea, while also insisting it does not seek to take steps against third countries.

I would argue that the Minsk accord was not a “Trap” laid for Kiev, but it was a ‘ consequence’ of Kiev’s US backed illegal coup in 2014.
No need to argue, it’s a self-evident truth.
Boy, that Erdogan’s some slippery character. Maybe he’s even the trap laid for Ukraine. You never know.
The illegit Kiev ‘Coup D’éta’ Regime sabotaged + backstabbed the Minsk Accord from Day One and had NEVER any intention to fullfill it what so ever.
It essentially means that the US had no intention of allowing the Minsk protocol to be honoured.
Erdo obviously doesn’t realize that Russia CAN and WILL turn off the S-400’s if Turkey goes rogue in actions.
Also, shut down the Nuclear Power deal and, of course Turkstream.
Russia will also blockade the Black Sea.
There is NOTHING NATO can do but attack first, then it’s all over for NATO.
The Tartars in Crimea were descended from The Great Horde – so describing them as ‘Turks’ is not correct. The languages are similar but not the same. The Crimean Tartar dialect (Yaliboyu) on the south coast of the Crimea was heavily influenced by Turkish as this part of Crimea was once ruled by the Ottomans. The majority of Crimean Tartars however speak Tatar Mountain dialect (Tat) not polluted by Turkish occupation.
Why is this happening ? Two birds of a feather. Both ruined their countries, failed miserably in every way and everyone knows they’re finished. Maybe the clown feels better now. Good for him to leave Ukraine. A clown with no applause but just Boos is a sad clown. Nobody here wants him back. If the referendum on “land reform” (read: the west’s attempt to rob Ukraine to the bones) goes through he will be more than finished. Turkey is better for him.
Unless the West can loot Russia, Iran and China , the West is doomed. 🙂
“…Turkey’s believe that Crimea….belong to Ukraine…”
That’s funny. A lot of Turks believe Crimea belongs to them and that they’ll get it back some day.
The really funny thing is, the Crimeans believe that Crimea belongs to them, by Ukrainian Law [at least prior to the illegal criminal Coup D’éta 2014] Crimea was an autonom region with their own parliament, they rejected the bloody violent overthrowing of the democratic elected gov in Kiev and rejected the illegitimate Coup Regime. They held an referendum and 97% voted for joining the Russian Federation [turnout 83.1%].
