SHP Lideri Muharrem İnce: 'Hassiktir bok, asla olmaz!' |

SHP Leader Muharrem İnce during TBMM debate / TBMM TV THE SAHURI QUESTION ANKARA The very idea of letting any more of them into our country is absurd said SHP Leader Muharrem İnce during today's Grand National Assembly debate on if Turkey should take in Sahuri refugees. İnce's passionate speech against Sahuri refugees shows examples of 'chaos caused by Sahuri nationals' who already live in Turkey. Ending his speech off with 'this is what happens when filth enters civilization'. Today Turkey has a Sahuri immigrant population of around 30,000. Mostly living in provinces near the Turkish-Sahuri border, however in recent years around 3,500 Sahuri's nationals study in Turkish Universities, or other educational facilities. Now with the ongoing conflict inside of Sahuristan showing its effect at the Turkish border, including 159 arrests that have taken people at the border since the conflict began earlier this year. Most recently eleven Sahuri Militia members of the Afrin brigade were arrested near in the border province of Şanlıurfa, along with a Sahuri national who is studying in Adana. President Meral Akşener called on compassion to be shown toward Sahuri nationals living in Turkey currently, but took a strong stance on the border. Even deploying 30,000 more personal to the border, include some JÖH (Jandarma Special Operations) units. Turkey has currently closed half of its border checkpoints with Sahuristan, though it has not stopped an influx of migrants toward at checkpoints. The issue first began to spread on social media in border provinces, but has become a nationwide story after Sahuri nationals opened the Çayıri (Wudiyan) rebel flag in Taksim Square. Causing mass outrage across the nation. Unlike the SHP, the CHP has been more open to the idea of supporting Sahuri nationals. With CHP Leader Ekrem İmamoğlu suggested that Turkey could create a transport network to move Sahuri Refugees and nationals through Turkey to Europe, he would bring this point up again during the Grand National Assembly debate when he said: 'Let us be perfectly clear, it is the job of the Arab world and the Europeans to take care of them. After all every issue that has plagued Sahuristan came because the Europeans wanted to draw lines in the sand. That is the honest truth of the matter. The Arab world continue to sit on their *sses, so will the Europeans. The role Turkey has in this, if any, is to ensure that those from Sahuristan who wish to travel into the European Union for refugee can do so.'. Despite the best effort of the SHP and CHP to make sure the 'Sahuri Refugee and Protection act' legislation failed to pass, the Grand National Assembly voted 320-280 to pass the legislation. The İYİ Parti MPs only voting in favor of the legislation, even 43 İYİ MPs voting against the legislation. Despite the new legislation set to go into effect later this months, false information has began circling on the nature of the legislation, and reports are coming in from the Akçakale checkpoint on the Turkish-Sahuri border that large groups have been seen gathering on the Sahuri side. Which is Turkey's only border checkpoint that remains open in the western side of Sahuristan, due to the unholy amount of fighting that has broken out in western Sahuristan. |
Turkey's Covid diplomacy saves millions
FM Çavuşoğlu in Tehran with Iranian FM Zarif, April 9th / TRT World COVID Turkey reported its first Covid-19 case in early March, though by that point Turkey had already closed down virtually all travel to the country. With one goal in mind, to reopen in time for the Olympics. By early April the Health Ministry had declared victory against the virus, and that Turkey was headed 'full speed toward the vaccine', the international effort for the vaccine ended in success on the 29th of April when the final trials were run before it was given to the public. On the 9th of April, Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu made a surprise visit to Iran, which had been ravaged by the virus due to being caught off guard. Despite the meeting between Turkish and Iranian officials lasting less than half a hour, the Foreign Minister announced that Iran would be the first country to receive Covid Relief from Turkey. The list of supplies sent over to Iran included face masks, protective overalls, test kits, sanitizer gels, ventilators, and other essentials that had become abundant in Turkey due to Ankara's unprecedented investment in the medical field over the last two decades. Iran was only the beginning however, with the Foreign Ministry announcing that Covid Relief would be granted to all of Turkey's neighbors if they requested it. Since then Turkish Covid Relief was been granted to at least one country in each continent. Including the Untied States of America, and European Union Members. The effect of Turkish Covid Relief, as well as its program to mass produce the vaccine to be shipped abroad, especially as Turkey accepted every request for it, while continuing to provide other humanitarian aid during this period to nations in need. This has resulted in pass praise for Turkish efforts from leaders of nations who received Covid Relief, and from those who did not need it, like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who said the following about Turkey's Covid Relief: 'I would like to Commend the Turkish Republic on its global response to COVID-19. Sending aid and supplies around the world. Including the United States and Israel. The international community could learn from the worldly approach of Turkey.' |

JERUSALEM Turkey in 1949 became the first Muslim majority country to recognize the Israel as a sovereign state, today the two nations enjoy close cooperation in fields ranging from the military, to agriculture. After the Six-Day War, the eras President Nihal Atsız threw full Turkish support behind the Israeli's, even referring to the Nasser government that started the war as the aggressor state, even making moves to recognize Israels control over the territories it had acquired in the Six-Day War. This would become one of the many factors that ended up costing Atsız the 1968 elections, resulting in the election of Süleyman Demirel who wanted to take a neutral stance on the Israeli-Arab conflict. Though losing to Alparslan Türkeş in 1973 put these plans on hold, with the new government opening the first Turkish Embassy in the Israeli capital of Tel Aviv in later that year. By the early 80s public opinion of Israel was at an all time high, with 83% of those polled in 1981 stating that they supported Israel over Palestine. With President Bülent Ecevit in 1987 withdrew its recognition from the Palestinian state which would only give credence to
However, things in Turkey would change by 1993 when Süleyman Demirel claimed victory as part of the now defunct ANAP (Motherland Party). Demirel's election would finally see a stance of neutrality shown by Turkey toward the Israeli-Arab conflict, with President Demirel in 1997 referring Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's annexation of Sinai as 'the death of peace in the Southern Levant'.
The 2001 elections however would once again bring Turkey and Israel closer to each other, with the election of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, especially as one of the main objectives of his Presidency was to 'integrate Turkey into the West'. The failure of this policy by the Kılıçdaroğlu government, due to elements outside of their control for the most part, would see most projects involving 'western integration' abandoned by President Bahçeli. Including EU membership, and closer ties to Israel. By the time Bahçeli had been defeated by Meral Akşener, the Bahçeli's stance to move away from Israel had had its effects on Turkish society. Currently President Meral Akşener has held a firm stance of neutrality toward the situation in Israel, but has reaffirmed that Turkey will not turn on its past agreements.
In December of 2017 when the US announced it would be moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, it reignited the Jerusalem debate in Turkey. Polls taken on the 1st of July show that 35% of those polled support a Pro-Israel stance, around 25% saying that they supported Palestine, Egypt, and Sahuristan over Israel, with the remaining 40% argued that Turkey should remain neutral. The same poll also asked if Turkey should move its embassy to Jerusalem, only 21% said they would support it in the current climate, 38% opposed it, 15% said they were neutral on the issue, with 26% saying they would support it if Israel solved its disputed with its neighbors first. Though during the Covid-19 pandemic, Turkey did answer Israel's call for Covid Relief which could signal a return to the 'good old days' for Turkish-Israeli relations.
