Turkey’s Erdogan blames Europe’s energy crisis on Russia
sanctions
--- Quote ---
> Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday blamed
Europe’s energy crisis on sanctions it imposed on Russia over
the invasion of Ukraine -- a line taken by the Kremlin itself.
>
> Erdogan has maintained good working relations with Russian
President Vladimir Putin while trying to stay neutral in the
conflict and supplying Ukraine with Turkish weapons and combat
drones.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> He told reporters before departing for a three-nation swing
through the Balkans that European nations were “harvesting what
they sowed” by imposing economic restrictions on Russia.
>
> “Europe’s attitude towards Mr Putin, its sanctions, brought Mr
Putin -- willingly or not -- to the point of saying: ‘If you do
this, I will do that,’” Erdogan said.
>
> “He is using all his means and weapons. Natural gas,
unfortunately, is one of them.”
>
> Erdogan’s comments echo those expressed by the Kremlin this
week.
>
> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday blamed Russia’s halt
of gas deliveries to Germany via the Nord Stream pipeline on
“sanctions that were imposed against our country.”
>
> Russia accounted for nearly half of Turkey’s own natural gas
purchases last year.
>
> Turkey pledged to slowly transition to paying for the Russian
imports with rubles at a summit between Erdogan and Putin in
Sochi earlier this month.
>
> Analysts believe the deal will ensure that Russia will
continue to supply Turkey with gas through the TurkStream
pipeline running under the Black Sea.

Those sanctions were applied to Russia by the EU and the US not
until after Russia had already invaded Ukraine. Had Russia not
invaded, there would have been no additional sanctions. Are
sanctions also not "all the means, and weapons"?

> Turkey has launched air strikes on Kurdish targets in Iraq and
Syria, a week after a bombing in Istanbul which it blames on
Kurdish militants.
> The strikes - dubbed Operation Claw-Sword - hit Kurdish bases
which were being used to launch attacks on Turkey, the defence
ministry said.
> A Syrian-Kurdish spokesperson said two villages populated with
internally displaced people were hit.
> The banned Kurdish PKK group denies carrying out the Istanbul
attack.
> As the air strikes began, the Turkish defence ministry tweeted
that the "hour of reckoning" had arrived, alongside a picture of
a fighter plane taking off and footage of an explosion.
> "Terrorists' shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, and warehouses
were successfully destroyed," said Turkey's Defence Minister
Hulusi Akar. The Turkish defence ministry later said the strikes
on Kurdish militant bases in northern Syria and northern Iraq
destroyed 89 targets.

An investigation into the Mossad’s activities in Turkey | Al
Jazeera World Documentary
--- Quote ---
> Espionage, secret recordings, spy networks and Middle East
political intrigue – inside the dark world of Israeli
intelligence-gathering in Turkey.
>
> In October 2021, Turkish security services arrested 15 agents
suspected of working for Israel's spy agency Mossad operating in
several cities. Then in December 2022, they arrested 44 more
people for allegedly leaking information to Mossad.
>
> Tamer Almisshal of Al Jazeera Arabic goes to Istanbul to
explore the back story of these arrests, how these agents were
first identified and then allegedly recruited by Mossad – and
how the Turkish authorities were tipped off and launched a
months-long covert operation to track them down.

Were Israelis Detained on Sept. 11 Spies?
--- Quote ---
> June 21, 2002 -- Millions saw the horrific images of the World
Trade Center attacks, and those who saw them won't forget them.
But a New Jersey homemaker saw something that morning that
prompted an investigation into five young Israelis and their
possible connection to Israeli intelligence.
>
> Maria, who asked us not to use her last name, had a view of
the World Trade Center from her New Jersey apartment building.
She remembers a neighbor calling her shortly after the first
plane hit the towers.
>
> She grabbed her binoculars and watched the destruction
unfolding in lower Manhattan. But as she watched the disaster,
something else caught her eye.
>
> Maria says she saw three young men kneeling on the roof of a
white van in the parking lot of her apartment building. "They
seemed to be taking a movie," Maria said.
>
> The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the
World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What
struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were
like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought
it was very strange," she said.
>
> She found the behavior so suspicious that she wrote down the
license plate number of the van and called the police. Before
long, the FBI was also on the scene, and a statewide bulletin
was issued on the van.
>
> The plate number was traced to a van owned by a company called
Urban Moving. Around 4 p.m. on Sept. 11, the van was spotted on
a service road off Route 3, near New Jersey's Giants Stadium. A
police officer pulled the van over, finding five men, between 22
and 27 years old, in the vehicle. The men were taken out of the
van at gunpoint and handcuffed by police.
>
> The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their
suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in
cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign
passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the
biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men
identified themselves as Israeli citizens.
>
> ‘We Are Not Your Problem’
>
> According to the police report, one of the passengers told the
officers they had been on the West Side Highway in Manhattan
"during the incident" — referring to the World Trade Center
attack. The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the
officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your
problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem."
The other passengers were his brother Paul Kurzberg, Yaron
Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari.

US May Barter NATO Expansion For F-16s To Turkey, But Will Rival
Greece Still Have The Edge?
--- Quote ---
> Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has pushed the US to
approve the sale of F-16 fighter jets during his US visit on
Jan. 18. The meeting was also dominated by Turkey’s refusal to
approve Sweden and Finland’s NATO bid and its Syria operations.
Some observers believe that the meeting reflected the
complicated relationship between the two countries. The Biden
administration has expressed its support for the sale of the
jets to Turkey, despite opposition from the US Congress.
However, some analysts say that the US is likely to pressure
Turkey into dropping its objections toward Sweden and Finland's
NATO accession bid. Watch the video to know more.

"Seriously Upsets Us..." Erdogan Slams US For Delaying F-16s,
Warns Sweden May Not Get NATO Entry
--- Quote ---
> Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he had discussed
possible deliveries of F-16 jets to Turkey with his US
counterpart on September 10 in Delhi. The Biden
administration’s linking of the sale of F-16s with the Turkish
ratification of Sweden's NATO bid has "seriously upset" Ankara.
The Turkish President while addressing the press also criticised
the US administration for dragging its feet on the issue.
Speaking after the G20 summit in New Delhi, Erdogan also made it
clear that Sweden was yet to fulfil its side of the bargain.

Turkey's Erdogan condemns Israeli airstrikes in Gaza: "Not a
war, it is a massacre"
--- Quote ---
> Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel's response
to Hamas' attack by bombing cities in Gaza -- which has
destroyed infrastructure, cut off humanitarian supplies and
killed civilians.
>
> "Managing a conflict using every sort of embarrassing method -
is not a war, it is a massacre," he said.
>
> Speaking to his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan said
Israel's actions were the "reflex of an organization and not a
state," adding that it would be treated as such if those actions
continued.
>
> Turkey, which has backed Palestinians in the past and hosted
members of Hamas, has been working to mend its ties with Israel
after years of animosity. Unlike the European Union and the
United States, Ankara does not consider Hamas a terrorist
organization.
>
> Meanwhile, Jordan's King Abdullah said that no peace was
possible in the Middle East without the emergence of an
independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
