So, the time has come to ensure that the network, especially among Turkish Islamists began to appear EN masse stuffing about what went Turkey for the reconciliation of Russia. Russia today de facto became the closest friend of Turkey, not only because Moscow has warned Erdogan about the impending coup, but also those treaties which Turkey has signed and continues to sign.
I’m going to list the whole list, assembled by me from various sources on the Internet. I must say that some sources claim that they have an informant in the government of Turkey, the others nodding in relatives and the like. What to believe? I will say this, take it rather as information for consideration and be prepared to seek confirmation, including indirect media, random phrases of politicians and the like. For all of the information that will be given by me below from the category of unofficial, but extremely accurate.
1. Turkish stream. Of course, the main onerous contract was the agreement on construction of the pipeline on the Russian conditions. The fact that it will be built – obviously, it is also obvious that now Turkey will be just to maintain the pipeline and get the money exclusively for his service. The security of the pipeline will also deal tureckie companies that will hire Gazprom or other organizations responsible for the transportation of gas. First, in the beginning of spring, Turkey was offered more lenient terms for the pipeline, but the summer conditions have tightened. Turkey does not own the pipeline, and therefore will not receive any money for gas transit.
2. Visa-free regime. Unilateral visa-free regime with Turkey. Citizens of Russia will be able vezzhat on the territory of Turkey without visas, but citizens of Turkey to Russia – no.
3. Minimize activities in Syria and Iraq. It is difficult to say what exactly means this agreement, as Turkey troops from Iraq is still not launched, and it seems like not much is going. Meanwhile, it became known that the militants in Northern Syria has ceased to receive assistance from the Turkish “charity” organizations. A number of trucks to deploy at the border.
4. The release of the journalists. Yes, Yes, this item really is about. Erdogan should gradually release a number of opposition journalists who were jailed for investigation of Turkey since the ISIL militants.
5. Free passage of military ships through the Bosporus. We are talking about the fact that Turkey and Russia signed a further agreement, which allows Russia to relocate any ships of any tonnage through the Straits of Turkey without special approvals. Solely on the notification.
The five items Erdogan signed back to the situation with the military coup. It was the demands, which went to Erdogan for the sake of reconciliation. But the fact that Russia and Turkey were discussed after the suppressed revolution much more interesting.
6. Turkey is ready to pass codes and encryption “friend or foe” by NATO aircraft.
7. Turkey is ready to start the scaling back of a number of NATO missions on the territory of the country.
8. Turkey is ready to suspend its membership in NATO.
What’s extremely interesting. These are all punty apparently are under discussion with Moscow. Ankara has said it is ready, and waits for a response from Moscow on such a generous offer.
I wonder whether Moscow to offer on this? It is also possible that Turkey has already carried out some steps in exchange for information about the coup. But most likely this information was passed to Moscow just like that. After all, if a military coup succeeded, the new government of Turkey broke off all bonded contract, and Moscow would not remain trumps (as Erdogan and his team deposed and imprisoned, including downed aircraft of Russian air force). Moreover, the coup would have occurred after the normalization of relations, and therefore Putin looks like very strange, if I tried again to freeze relations with Turkey after the coup.
