And there I was thinking that every country is an independent sovereign nation allowed to make its own decisions without pressure from other countries. What gives the US, UK, EU the right to demand, under the threat of sanctions, that other countries do what they are told?

The only airport that is not chaotic is Istanbul International Airport. And the last remaining practitioners of diplomacy are in Türkiye

YorukIsik Of course China encircling us is ignored.

Western Capitals Destabilizing Türkiye: 1. BillClinton initiated the ’97 Post Modern Coup. 2. BarackObama JoeBiden Germany Sweden Finland armed PKK_YPG terrorist. 3. Obama authorized the 2016 FETÖ Coup. 4. Greece is arming to confront Türkiye.

Connect the dots for me on how this behavior is conducive with membership in nato? Somebody anybody?

Write about how the Greeks transported Russian gas in tankers, how there was even an increase after the war, and how it also made money to the Russians from the war until today, and also how France sold critical weapons parts to the Russians!

Russia is not a friend of Turkey. But Erdogan is a partner of Putin.

This GANGSTER Erdogan has to be KICKED OUT of NATO and for sure never join the EU.

As Europeans keep Turkey away from themselves, Turkey will inevitably come under Russian and Chinese influence.

JamesPoliti laurapitel too many unnamed officials in your FinancialTimes article make it lack credibility! Why are they so afraid to express themselves publicly? Maybe because StateDept & EU_Commission consider Turkish cooperation in other areas more important? khalafroula

Turkey already full of Russian tourists

Meanwhile Greece ships transport Russian oil and EU only watches

I bet erdogan would suck any leader’s dick if they could keep his currency afloat with their sanctioned discount energy.

Another Turcophobic article. They manufactured them in a factory and release daily,weekly,monthly. No real source. Show us the source . WHO THE FCK are those 6 diplomats? Answer: There are none!

It’s not something new, turkey played always a doubble politik game between west and east.

SireneOznur yorumlarınız nadir bunun hakkında.?

Alarm? There was NO ALARM in these capitals when Germany and the german chancellor Schroeder or Shredder made Europe dependent of russian oil ... so what... stay home FinnyTimes

'sanctions' 🤣🤣🤣 = Turkiye(not Turkey, dear ColonialPrees) has currently mucho (defence sector)'sanctions' from US and other so called 'Allies'... Sooo, what are you babbling about sanctions

'Western capitals are increasingly alarmed...' =Cooool! Colonial Press FinTimes:Does their PKK and FETO boys want more money Or why alarmed🤔 Or can FinTimes explain why ALL these capitals from Berlin, Paris to Wash support and finance these terrorists? We are waiting⌛️

YorukIsik We’re they not paying attention? It’s been obvious for a while now.

Everyone knows turds of a feather flock together.

The Turks need to make up their mind whether they stand with civilisation or with the Axis of Evil.

US/EU response must be swift and severe, send a strong message to Turkey that getting in bed with Russia will have serious consequences. Reports out there that it's agreed to help Russia avoid baking sanctions. WHCOS StateDeptSpox DeputySecState UnderSecStateP UnderSecStateJ

Türkey is smart

No problem, just launch a few drones!

Let’s get real “Western Capitals” shall we ;) China, India, Israil also have also deep ties with Russia All have better financial conditions than Turkey Sanctions never worked in the past and will never work on anywhere 👇🏼

Türkiye is an independent and sovereign state. EU or US sanctions against Russia cannot limit Türkiye's relations. Look at Greek tanker ships undermining EU sanctions first 😉

Why do European Union countries buy natural gas from Russia, isn't this an economic relationship, dear hypocrites?

Erdogan plays a very dirty game. It is very shameful and low to deal with rapist and terrorist Putin RussiaIsATerroristState RussiaTerroristState

NATO pays but Turkey is ally with Russia..

Isn't a bit too late?

Mr. Erdogan is a risk He wants to stay in power... Be ware Europe

Alarm mounts that the Western leaders didn't see this coming with their crazy policies.

Erdoğan playing this situation perfectly to his advantage. Turkey emerging as a new global economic, military and political power.

2 of a kind..

Turkey needs money to pay its heavy debts.

why is the title a bit dramatic? Not like turkey brought nuclear weapons from russia

Turkey has 800,000 men under weapons.

🇩🇪🇪🇺🇷🇺 ; )

Western capitals have problems with anything that doesn’t go through them. Dictators and hypocrites!!

Why? Wasn't it them who turned Nazi Brown against Türkiye? Did you think it would wait another 60 years at their doorstep?

Turkey’s ties are for their own requirements. They are dependent on other countries for their needs. They bought corn from Ukrain recently.

Alarm mounting in those Countries which, under 🇺🇸 pressure, refuse to cope with LOGIC and REALITY. Ukraine Putin Russia Biden NATO Erdogan Turkey

Good.

Why does the West, which excludes Turkey, give alarm in the development of relations between Russia and Turkey?

Is Turkey sharing NATO secrets with Russia?

Biden is a foreign relations disaster

Political vacuum unacceptable as recession looms - The Yorkshire Post saysAs the vacuum in Government only seems to deepen, the Bank of England has warned that the UK is set to fall into it longest recession since the financial crisis. We have had a party in power but no functioning government for over a year now. The situation seems unlikely to change whichever of the two candidates for party leader / PM wins this auction of prejudices.
