I have just read the article called "Is Vladimir Putin right to label Turkey 'accomplices of terrorists'?". The author of the article is Martin Chulov. It was published on the 24th of November on "theguardian.com". This article is about Turkey's place at the world's political arena and its involvement in Syrian war.
Obviously, the idea of the article is inspired by latest events near the Turkish border, where the Russian jet was shot down. So Vladimir Putin's reference to Turkey as "accomplices of terrorists" is likely to resonate even among some of Ankara's backers. In the first part of the article Martin Chulov described how Turkey in some way supported and helped terrorists and Syrian opposition. It was said that Turkish borders have been the primary thoroughfare for fighters of all kinds to enter Syria and its military bases have been used to distribute weapons and to train rebel fighters. European diplomats alarmed by the gathering threat concluded that the Turkish leadership was sympathetic to conservative Islamists travelling to fight Assad. In another part of the article the author gave even more proofs to Turkey's cooperation with IS and marked changes in the relationship with the US and EU countries. Chulov wrote that Turkish businessmen struck lucrative deals with Isis oil smugglers, adding at least $10m per week to the terror group’s coffers, and replacing the Syrian regime as its main client. This was proved after a US special forces raid in eastern Syria, which killed the Isis official responsible for the oil trade. Further the author said that shortly after that, Turkey opened a new front against the Kurdish separatist group – the main US ally in Syria, what strained already complicated relationship between the countries. In conclusion, Martin Chulov quoted one of the western officials, who said that Turkey's cooperation with IS may have serious effects.
I enjoyed reading this article and I can only agree with author's point of view. I would like to say that this article is very interesting and informative. It should be important for people who are interested in politics. But I think nowadays everyone should be interested in politics because it concerns us all and we must know what is going on around the world. In my opinion, author touched one of the most important topics in the world politics for today. Although Turkey, a Nato member, continues to be regarded as an ally by Europe the Western countries is worried and they will try to change the situation in already highly volatile region, where alliances, strategies, and implications are constantly changing. I hope this article will open somebody's eyes to Turkey's politics and maybe will trigger the rethinking of the relationship between this country and the world community.
What is your attitude to Turkey's actions and how this problem can be solved in the future?

Thank you for your review! The article you've overlooked is as actual as it could be, it really did open my eyes to this politics problem.
ОтветитьУдалитьConcerning the question of solving the problem: nothing depends on us, it's Turkey that is supposed to hold their hounds off and re-evaluate its potential alliances once again.
It's a very vital theme these days. I'm not really good at politics, but I'm really worry about Russian soldiers who were injured because of it this accident, moreover, I heard one of them was killed. To my mind, it's unforgivable mistake admitted by Turkey's government and I have no idea what they should do in future to expiate it.
