Yeah, and now the other oil companies are so afraid of this move.

Tsup man?
Yeah, weird but not unexpected move, ENI is a big player worldwide with presence in 79 countries and biggest Italian company, wonder who's next, can't imagine messing with Total for example.

Sultan Faildogan thinks that after the settlement with Israel (lololol( and the Kurds (bigger and louder lolololol) he can now settle the whole Greek-Turkish relations.

Turkey thinks that Cypriot-Israeli bi-lateral relations over the EEZ are going to change in favor of Turkish interests, but a) both Cyprus and Israel have signed an INTERNATIONAL Treaty and b) Faildogan is so psychotic over the "evil Jews" he'll mess it up again

In other words, Turkey is like the fox, but eventually will be caught in a trap...

They probably got their reassurances and exchanges for the dirty work in the destabilization process in MENA, we'll see. Press got out of control and completely megalomania after the Israeli apology though, you seen the Greater Turkey map with parts of Syria, Iraq, Cyprus and half of Greece in it? Lmao. In milleyt too, not in your average blog or something, in a newspaper with links and friendly ties with the islamists in govt.

Yeah, I've seen it, I've also seen the map of "Kurdistan" that posess almost all SE Turkey.

It was a big week and lots of big things happened, seems we're going for a serious escalation in the ME, but i'm afraid that the reassurances/exchanges were given in our part of the neighborhood, seems that they Kurds got everything they wanted for a ceasefire to be announced, which says a lot imo, we'll see, i'm still analyzing and trying to see the bigger picture here.

What a coincidence that Ocalan, who's ISOLATED since 1999 in the island of Marmara, gave a ceasefire notice prior to the Kurdish New Year celebrations

Another coincidence is that Obamama actually ordered Netanyahu to "apologize" to Faildogan 3 years after the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident.

The Kurds want an independent state, neither "minority status" nor "autonomous state".

BTW, extremely weird silence over the Iranian issue...

Yeah, as i said big week regarding developments, not that any of these news were unexpected, but i for sure wasn't expecting to see all these in just one week, seems that TPTB are in a hurry.

As for Kurds, they can't get an independent state that fast, especially inside Turkey, their first target is to get autonomous regions/statelet in all their countries they have population, independent state comes after that or after shtf in the ME. Some kind of autonomy was in the PKK negotiations demands, including change of constitution, nationalist circles don't seem to appreciate the agreement and developments much.

I'm guessing the Kurds will start the Iran campaign after all these, something like the role they had vs Saddam, Sunni vs Shia got even more interesting after the pkk ceasefire and this alliance.

If true then

ANy more news ??? I think we are some years away from this war happening?

A German citizen was arrested for spying military facilities and other infrastructures in the island of Chios in favor of Turkey.

What the hell is going on? Seems the flames of ME are coming towards us!!

I'm in the same boat confused. I think something in brewing.......

It's no coincidence that a Turkish Navy ship was manoeuvering a few days in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone against an Italian-flagged commercial vessel trying to install a fiber-optic cable for CYprus Telecommuncations Authority.

But isn't the Erdogan govt seperate from the military ?.

I guess not any more seems to have legislative over the military, never use to be like that.

When it comes to the "Rums" (how the Greeks were called during the Ottoman rule), Turkey has united stance, be it the Military or the politicians.

Bump

FOrmer Turkish-Cypriot "president" warned of a possible Turkish military action against Cyprus.

Seems Turkey can't handle it anymore and wants to show its "regional superpower status".
