The National Security Council (MGK) will meet under the leadership of President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... immediately after his return from the United States where he attended United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... General-Assembly meetings and held bilateral meetings with world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... The MGK was supposed to meet on Sept. 27 but has been brought forward to Sept. 22 in order to allow Turkey’s top civilian and military officials to ponder over actions to be taken against the KRG’s referendum. In a statement in New York, Erdogan said the sanctions Turkey will impose will not be "ordinary" but did not give details. He also informed that the cabinet will convene on the same day in order to register advisory decisions of the MGK as the official rules. Along with Erdogan, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, deputy prime ministers, defense and foreign ministers as well as Chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar, all force commanders and National Intelligence Organization (MIT) head Hakan Fidan will join the MGK meeting. Turkey and the KRG have developed a bilateral political, economic and energy relationship in the last 10 years after the latter has been designated as an autonomous region under the new Iraqi constitution. The trade volume between the two has exceeded $8 billion as Turkey intensified its oil trade with the autonomous region despite Baghdad’s opposition. The Habur border gate on the Turkey-Iraq line is one of the busiest border gates in the region. Posted by: Fred 2017-09-22 |
