Fight against terrorism is key issue in US-Türkiye relations, says Turkish top diplomat
|
[TurkiyeToday] Turkiye’s top foreign diplomat, Hakan Fidan, said Friday that the country’s primary issue with the U.S. is its stance on terrorism, particularly the terrorist organizations PKK and FETO.
The Kurds and the Gulenists. In a live interview on Ottoman Turkish news channel A Haber, Ottoman Turkish FM Fidan addressed current foreign policy issues and Ankara’s efforts to enhance cooperation in the fight against terrorism. He emphasized that the PKK and the hosting of FETO’s headquarters remain key obstacles in U.S.-Turkiye relations.
’WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT UNTIL THREAT ELIMINATED’
"Our problem with the U.S. is the terrorist organization PKK and the hosting of FETO’s headquarters," Fidan said. "We will continue to fight until the direct threat to us is eliminated."
…or until the far-below-replacement birthrate of the Turks leads to them being replaced by the positive birthrate Kurds, whichever comes first. Fidan also noted that in the past year, the U.S. has engaged in open discussions at the foreign ministry level regarding the fight against terrorism. He pointed to regular meetings concerning the YPG, PKK’s offshoot in Syria, and said the U.S. has acknowledged Turkiye’s position.
That was the Biden-Harris administration, with whom the Trump administration will agree on almost nothing. And the Trump team takes over ina few weeks, so good luck with that. "They see that there is no rational explanation for preferring another actor other than Turkiye in the region," he said.
Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas. Neo-Ottoman sultanate. "Other powers in the region have understood our seriousness. We are pursuing a strategy of eliminating the capabilities of the threat without showing it across the border. We will continue to work on this issue," added Fidan.
In its 40-year terror campaign against Turkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkiye, the U.S., and the EU — has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, infants, and the elderly. The YPG is the PKK’s Syrian offshoot.
’PRO-ISRAEL STANCE IS NOT A SURPRISE’
Fidan also commented on Donald Trump
...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania...
’s re-election as U.S. President, stating that President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
maintains good relations with Trump. He acknowledged there are ongoing issues with the U.S., but expressed optimism about managing them together.
"There are issues we need to take up with the U.S.," Fidan said. "We will try to manage the problems together."
Regarding Trump’s pro-Israel stance, Fidan noted that support for Israel has become a critical issue in U.S. domestic politics, adding that "Trump’s pro-Israel stance is not a surprise." He also referenced past actions during the Democratic administration, criticizing the handling of the Paleostinian issue.
"When the Democrats
 ...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
were in power, we witnessed open genocide. We assume that negative developments will also occur under Republican rule," Fidan said. "If Trump focuses solely on the war in Ukraine and forgets about the Paleostinian issue, he will cause serious damage. Trump must stand by his word."
