In his statements before his trip to the USA, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the USA should pay attention to the balances between Turkey and Greece. Cavusoglu did not make this warning out of nowhere. For years, Turkey wants to buy F-16 warplanes from the USA, but the USA does not give the planes we want to buy with our money.
The reason given is that Turkey has purchased S-400 missile defense systems from Russia. Because the S-400 missile defense systems do not comply with NATO standards. Well, doesn't the USA know that Greece has had the Russian defense systems in hand for years? Of course he knows. However, the USA, which thinks itself as the bully of the village, takes its place on the side of Greece when Turkey and Greece face each other.
There is nothing unknown about this situation. We can say that when Turkey or another Muslim country and a Christian country come face to face, the attitude of the EU countries along with the USA is in favor of Christians. In fact, there is nothing strange about this situation. The Crusader spirit drives them to behave in that way. We have not been able to accept this fact, and we have not been able to digest it.
Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu will hold various meetings in the USA today and will once again ask for the delivery of the planes that we paid for years ago. However, there is a normal commercial relationship in question. There's no reason for it to take that long.
Doesn't the opposite behavior, that is, the non-delivery of the paid planes, mean banditry to say the least? Meanwhile, Çavuşoğlu asked the United States to pay attention to the balances between two NATO members, Greece and Turkey, before leaving our country. There is nothing wrong with Turkey's demands and warnings. However, although there have been some positive developments regarding the sale of F-16 warplanes to our country, Çavuşoğlu inevitably makes some demands for the improvement of relations, since the attitude of the USA cannot be trusted.
For example, for a long time, the sale of warplanes to Turkey has been stalled for a number of reasons. In addition, it is of course not possible to trust the USA, which puts forward the condition that they can sell the planes but against which country they can or cannot use them.
However, it is an attitude that casts a shadow on the independence of our country that the USA decides on whom and how we will use the aircraft we will buy. In short, the United States sees the right to rearrange all international rules in its own interests. As such, it is not possible to achieve peace and harmony on earth.
It goes without saying that it would be wrong to expect the USA to make a radical change in its attitude and to give up on some of its demands, which we tried to explain above. However, since the USA constantly looks at the world from the perspective of the Crusaders, in other words, the USA, which sees the right to determine the relations between Turkey and Greece, is trying to block Turkey with unnecessary pressures and obstacles.
As such, Turkey inevitably seeks alternative ways to strengthen its defense systems. The reason why he bought the S-400 defense systems was due to the attitude of the USA. Turkey wanted to buy Patriot defense systems, but the USA said no to this request. As a result, Turkey tried to make up for its shortcomings with the S-400s.
In conclusion, we can say that it would not be right to trust the USA. Because the USA wants to determine the balance in relations between countries and to say 'yes' to the practices it determines.
As such, Islamic countries need to take action to remind us that there is a need for a new balance of power in the world and to establish a new world order accordingly. Because today, even if Turkey's wishes regarding F-16s are complied with, it is not clear what we will encounter after a while.
