Erdogan’s apology: it was or was not?

The Internet is filled with contradictory articles about Erdogan’s apology. Some write that he apologized for the downed plane, others say no, his words were misinterpreted. They say in accurate translation from the Turkish phrase containing the word innocent means either “not exact”, or “don’t blame me”.

Извинения Эрдогана: так было или не было?

But all this – the shadow on the fence. Actually everything is simple: Erdogan apologized. And diplomatic language may be the most ornate, with their national peculiarities, it is important to the understanding of the document in the General context of the relations: recognizing his hand in apology or not.

The parties recognized – as officially stated Peskov, not some bloggers from the Internet. In the Kremlin have enough good translators, and I think before making any statements. By the way, Putin’s press Secretary in the past I worked as a diplomat in Turkey, so surely could accurately classify the message to Erdogan.

Another thing is that Erdogan is certainly hoping that his apology will remain secret from the General public. At least from my Turkish. As is the nature of savage, he doesn’t understand some things.
He seriously think that the reason for the gap is entirely in the ego of Putin. And so Erdogan, as the weaker pleaded guilty.

But he can not think that he is guilty not to Putin personally, and Russia. Savages really do not care about the opinion of “little people”. They think primarily about its greatness.
And for the sake of his greatness ready to ditch as many subjects. Of course, Erdogan judges Putin himself and thinks that Putin is driven by the same instincts that move them.

But the administration of the President of Russia, made public the fact of the apology Erdogan. This is absolutely correct.

If someone in Russia had the impression that Putin and Erdogan have something fray behind the country and people, to agree to something on the sly amicably, not interested in the opinion of the common people – it would be a severe blow to the prestige of Putin. We weren’t savages. Our perception of the world differs from Turkish as heaven from earth.

It is clear that this disclosure, is giving publicity to a Turkish apology to Erdogan as a sickle in the neck. But not only Erdogan.

In deep mourning plunged our liberal writers, as well as jumping neighbors of Nezalezhnosti. Hence so many cheep
that Erdogan did not apologize that he was misunderstood and that he actually lives on the moon…

There is such a thing as authority. He did not fall from the sky, earning it long and hard. Liberal brats they’re coming out to bloggers no credibility. They may have high “social capital”, a large number of subscribers, strong popularity. But the credibility, I repeat – no. They are not responsible for your “Bazar” and it is well known to all who not the first day deals with the Internet. Accordingly – there is no reason to trust what they write.

Of course, Erdogan apologized. And, of course, distasteful to him now that his apology made public. But it will have to wait – nothing helped.

But if you want to – let’s plays ago. Let perform personally and said that he was slandered and he really is before anybody did not apologize. Nobody forbids to do it.

Russia will only direct benefit. The less of these “friends and partners” – the better.
