Discussions on the S-400s remain on the agenda. Now what are the pros and cons of this issue, let's try to look at them. First of all, the basic question is; 'Does Turkey need an air defense system?' Nobody has a different opinion about it. Everyone agrees that such a system is needed. 
 
In this case, two separate systems stand out; the first is the S-400s produced by Russia, and the other is the American-made Patriots. So, why Turkey wants to have such a system and, instead, insist why? Because perceptions of threats from the Middle East, Cyprus and the Mediterranean Sea, especially in Syria, have increased to an ever greater degree. Turkey wants to minimize security threats such concerns on these grounds. 
 
All right, but who or by whom are these threats coming from? The answer is annoying but unfortunately true; The US and its Western allies are threatening to Turkey directly or indirectly. But how do they do that? For example, America still wants to implement the Great Middle East Project. It aims to remain indifferent to the territorial integrity of Syria, to redraw maps in the region, and to threaten our region and therefore us with a possible attack against Iran.
 
In addition, both the US and the EU countries fully support the Greek Cypriot theses in the Eastern Mediterranean. Hold on to the gas deals, they don't see anything moving together in many areas, from building a military base on the island. You also get Turkey equilibrium she Patriot are not possible with this system also I can get says, but referred to the elimination of the threat last, because it is likely to focus not threaten the system sees the fact to accept as friends.
 
While on the other hand it argued that Turkey should take the S-400 there are two main views. The first is a member of NATO since 1952, everything in Turkey and despite all the negativity that use this umbrella, the many steps our own security interests border, including cross-border operations, they say, movable comfortable than under this umbrella. S-400 are to pull off getting Turkey from the Western developed countries blogs, Russia would make it more dependent on tomorrow is a shortage of Russian S-400s can be used very easily as a threat tool if experienced, in this case the gap between Turkey's Western and Russian they would remain, which would mean an even bigger threat compared to existing threats. 
 
The other is that Turkey, especially with Presidential System of Government authoritarian switch to a management model, a Turkey that broke away from the West in this regard will further shift to the East, fundamental human rights and will lose the gains in freedom point, even free elections with no ceiling to safety concerns even they would be difficult to do.
 
So, what can be said after all this? First, Turkey should take the S-400 defense system and it should take a step back. Because the threats faced are not ordinary and cannot be ignored. However, the event is multidimensional, including security. There are not only political but also economic and social dimensions. So the S-400s shouldn't bring the sudden decisions that I got out of this unit, I got involved in the final analysis. 
 
In addition, Turkey is currently a civil war, he established an emotional bond with the people of countries experiencing turmoil and political instability are important but it is certainly not enough. This positive psychological climate cannot contribute to the solution of the problems or it can be misleading. The important thing is to ensure that even though it is difficult to act together on the basis of states. Turkey to mend relations with the countries of the region will provide significant contributions to the debate itself in the S-400. 
 
Western powers want to eliminate the conditions of unity through the separation strategies they implement in our geography. This should not be allowed, but at least thereafter. Besides, the Presidential System of Government "East Imprisonment in Turkey" as someone who wrote and drew as I can express that, in Turkey itself from the East or the West he forced a distinction must both Eastern and produce strategies western saying. 
 
Neither the economy, politics, security, nor social life of a country that cannot protect its fundamental rights and freedoms and cannot implement them in the full sense cannot sit on the right foundations. Peace and security strategy with a strong social rights for Turkey and freedoms should be taken at the beginning. There is no other way for real and independent development.
