Thus it is explained why Turkey has been so generous to that Hellhole that is Somalia.
[ShabelleMedia] 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...
and Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar waved off the Ottoman Turkish research vessel Oruc Reis on Saturday as it set sail from Istanbul bound for Somalia.
The vessel’s mission is to perform seismic surveys for oil and natural gas exploration off the Somali coast, where The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
has secured rights.
The Oruc Reis, which will navigate through the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, and the Red Sea, is expected to reach Somali waters by late October. Accompanying the ship are two naval frigates along with support vessels including the Zaganos Pasa, Sancar, and Ataman.
According to a ministry statement, the vessel will conduct three-dimensional seismic studies in unexplored maritime territories of Somalia, a venture that could reveal significant hydrocarbon reserves. The exploration is set to last approximately seven months, focusing on collecting data that will be analyzed in Ankara to pinpoint potential drilling sites.
Minister Bayraktar emphasized the pioneering nature of the mission, stating, "Oruc Reis will conduct 3D seismic studies in areas where such work has never been done before. We believe this region shows promise for oil."
Constructed entirely in Turkey, the Oruc Reis is a testament to the country’s technological capabilities in maritime research. Since its launch in 2017, this 87-meter-long vessel has been instrumental in seismic data collection over 23,000 square kilometers.
This deployment follows earlier agreements between Turkey and Somalia, which allowed Ottoman Turkish Petroleum to explore three offshore zones, each approximately 5,000 square kilometers. This collaboration marks a significant step in Turkey’s strategic expansion in energy exploration beyond its borders.
