[Regnum] The leader of the Turkish Motherland Party, Dogu Perincek,
| ...a former revolutionary communist, he now calls himself a scientific socialist (whatever that means), and is apparently valued by the Erdogan government as a foreign policy expert. In practical terms, he is anti-West and pro-China, as they, like him, have moved beyond Maoism... |
called for the creation of a Turkey-Russia-Syria military format to fight terrorists in northern Syria.
He noted that an armed solution is needed in Gaza, since the enclave cannot be helped by speeches alone.
“We call for the creation of a Turkey-Russia-Syria military format to combat terrorist groups in northern Syria,” Perincek said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
| A lovely idea. But aren’t Turkish forces fighting the Syrian Arqb Army and Russia at the moment? Who is this “we” you speak of? |
He noted that this would be the best support for the Palestinian movement and a counterweight to American expansion in the region.
“A front will be opened against the United States and Zionism. This format has become a necessity. This will destroy American plans and ensure the territorial integrity of Syria,” he said.
| Good lord. Mr. Perincek, esq. (he trained as a lawyer in Turkey, then got a PhD in Germany) is even more unsure about geography than I, a thing I had thought impossible. |
As Regnum reported , the Israeli authorities launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas after the country was subjected to a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip on October 7, as well as the infiltration of militants into Israeli territory.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on December 5 expressed confidence that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not escape criminal punishment for war crimes in Gaza. Sooner or later he will stand trial and pay for the war crimes he committed, the Turkish leader said.
| ...even if they have to dig up his skeleton a millennium hence to put it on trial... |
The Turkish President also noted that if international law is properly respected and these war crimes are punished, then this decision will become an example for all oppressors both in the Palestinian region and in other regions of the world.
| Contrariwise, if international law were actually properly respected, Bibi would have been left to sit in peace under his vine and his fig tree while Turkish president Erdogan was the one to stand trial — it might yet happen! |
On December 4, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the ceremony of presenting credentials by foreign ambassadors, noted that Russia, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, will continue to contribute to the resolution of pressing world problems.
According to him, Moscow will consistently defend approaches to ensuring equal and indivisible security, to forming a fair system of international economic relations, free from unfair competition, unilateral sanctions and politically motivated restrictions.
The Russian leader touched upon the topic of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which, according to Putin, has acquired the features of a humanitarian catastrophe.
