Germany have closed their embassies in Ankara and Istanbul

ФРГ закрыла свои дипмиссии в Анкаре и Стамбуле

 

Such a step Germany decided ostensibly from-for appeared information about impending missions against these attacks. As it is, to put it mildly, untimely. Just today in Brussels to begin another round of talks between the EU and Turkey, but here such an unexpected demarche of the German side.

However, the type of forced. On the one hand, German diplomats can be understood: to consider the threat of attacks on the Embassy purely as a bluff would be the height of frivolity. Especially in the middle East. Especially in such a politically unstable country like Turkey, where in recent days and weeks was a series of bloody terrorist attacks.

As recent history shows, terrorists are filled with such audacity, that does not stop before the attack even well protected Western diplomatic mission. Case with the American Embassy in Benghazi – a clear confirmation. The staff of the U.S. Embassy was notified about the impending probable attack on him, and the Ambassador asked Washington to attract additional funds to strengthen the protection of the object. On him by the mouth of his former boss Hillary Clinton had said something like: “a Panic, not to succumb! The savages even would not dare to touch “an oasis of freedom and democracy” in this Allah-forsaken country.”

And those pick and pull. And even patronise. And even so, the right remains to be seen, a Martyr whose end was worse: condemned by the West, Colonel Gaddafi or sentenced “savages” (aka “revolutionary rebels”) a messenger from the main citadel of democracy of the West Christopher Stevens.

Largely because, thanks to the efforts of, in particular, “the main democracy in the Universe”, God really turned away from Libya. Resulting in the former prosperous country has been plunged into chaos and become a breeding ground for world gangsterism and terrorism. Also unknown: whether the former issued a patroness of sacramental Stevens “Wow!” on the death of his subordinate, as it allowed against the leader of the Libyan Jamahiriya.

In General, the German diplomacy, probably, sensibly deciding that if the terrorists dare to attack at the time the US mission, it is better “perebdet than nedobdet”, decided to evacuate the staff of its diplomatic missions in Ankara and Istanbul. Moreover, according to the head of depodesta the Federal Republic of Germany Steinmeier, German intelligence services received a very specific and serious warnings about impending terrorist attacks that have become a diplomatic mission.

The solution, it must be confessed, justified, but how it will affect the course of today’s-tomorrow’s negotiations is unknown. Perhaps this escalation will play into the hands of Erdogan, saying: “See how huge it is. And I warned you. And anyway, nothing there for me to start bidding! Show me the money! And visas in the EU be lifted immediately!” But with regard to the last requirement (suggestions/requests), the gentlemen negotiators from the EU will be forced to thinking.

Whether justified will be with them such a “generosity” towards Turkey if the Sultan can’t even guarantee the safety of Western diplomatic missions on its territory? Would such a policy open to even more content European radicals of all shades?

We’ll find out.
