Turkey: We Do Not Give Up to American Sanctions

General Co-ordinator of the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Investigations (SETA) Burhanettin Duran, stressing that the problem in Turkey- relations The US must be resolved by diplomatic means said that “with what appears to be diplomacy at this stage will continue, but Turkey's determination must understand the US. Turkey is not a country that can kneel with sanctions and threats”.

In a statement to the Turkish news agency Anadolu Duran stated that approach by a “threat approach of the US in the period of President Donald Trump also towards countries that he considers “mic” has undermined international order and eliminated the alliance's approach.

It's clear that the matter is not a matter for Brunson priest. We note that the US does not like that Turkey has shown an approach that takes its interests into account. From the alliance's point of view, the situation is inexplicable for the US now to show an approach to sanctions against Turkey, while that has long failed to act on Turkey's security priorities either on the FET finished matter or on the PKK/ YPG's. This shows that we have spent a new period in relations”, Duran stressed, drawing attention that sanctions and attitudes shown towards Turkey are unacceptable.

Among other things, announcing that Turkey's President Recep Tayip Erdogan's article on New York Times shows a historic twist, Duran said that “Turkey has come to the stage to seek new friends and allies. At this point it has not been achieved in a day. At this point it has been achieved with the irresponsible stance of the United States in the past few years. The US shows this attitude not only to Turkey but also to the European Union, China, Russia, Iran and Venezuela, which it considers enemies.

This shows that we are heading for a new world order. Turkey will be able to take its position here, face economic attacks, and it must pursue a policy that promotes its interests. With diplomacy seen at this stage, it will continue, but Turkey's determination must understand the US. Turkey is not a country that can kneel with sanctions and threats”.

“Turkey must diversify its” options Among other things after recalling that Truqia as a country of independence and its long-standing foreign policy strategy has conducted exchanges of different views on several regional issues with the US, Duran said the Trump administration, despite these efforts, follows a policy to produce crisis.

Turkey alliance relations- The US has undergone transformation with its long-standing stance and with its recent decision on sanctions, Duran, who estimates that “what Turkey has to pursue today is to resolve the problem by using the path of diplomacy firmly, but also within it with a strong will to protect its economy and foreign policy, as well as to diversify its” alternatives. / T CH/Kosovos/
