Relationship With Turkey

Knowledge of the crisis will benefit other countries too, like Turkey, who have over 2.1 million Syrian refugees as of April 2015. If Turkey was simply ignorant of the situation because it didn’t have anything to do with them, they would’ve been

While Russia’s reach is deep, far, and wide, it faces one great obstacle: it does not have a direct route, via oceanic bearings, that would facilitate the necessary naval fleet to launch a war on American soil. On the European side, it faces two insurmountable obstacles into the Atlantic which are the Bering Strait and the Norwegian Sea. Both create small, easy to funnel, lanes that would be full of icebergs big and thick enough to down the iron and steel dense warships that Russia possesses. They would fall under direct attack and face almost assured catastrophic loses that would end a Russian assault long before it started.

In this essay, I will be talking about a turkey for an animal and an apple tree for a plant. Turkeys and apple trees are both Eukarya. Eukarya is a domain of organisms having cells each with a distinct nucleus. Turkeys are apart of the Animalia Kingdom. The Animalia Kingdom includes organisms such as fish, birds, mammals, and many more. Apple trees belong to the Plantae Kingdom. The Plantae Kingdom is the source of food for all other living thing creatures present on Earth. The Plantae Kingdom is key for our survival. Turkeys are part of the Chordate phylum. The Chordate phylum includes all animals that possess a hollow nerve cord and a notochord. This is a flexible rod between the nerve cord and the digestive track. Apple trees are vascular

While the Soviet Union sought to expand its scope of influence even at the cost of peace, the United States openly threatened the Soviet Union, and directly confronted it’s maritime supply ships in international waters. Although both countries came into direct confrontation, this situation lead to thawing of relations in the large term, the United States and Russia created direct communication lines to prevent future misunderstandings, the United States withdrew its nuclear weapons from Turkey, prior to the agreement by the United States to never again invade Cuba, the Soviets withdrew their nuclear weapons from the

The Genocide was executed by the Turkish government, against the Armenian Empire between 1915 and 1918. Mehmed Talaat,, Ismail Enver, and, Ahmed Djemal or the 3 Pashas gained power in the Turkish government. The 3 Pashas overthrew the government in 1913 to unite all Turkish people and to expand the Turkish empire eastward. They thought of creating a empire, called Turan,Including with one language and religion, but there was one problem going eastward, they have to go over the Armenian Empire, So to continue their expandment, they came upon the decision to mass slaughter the civilization

The Turkish people of the Ottoman Empire were followers of Islam, whereas the Armenian people’s domination was of the Christian belief, even though they resided in the Ottoman Empire. Due to this obvious divide, prejudice had begun to sprout. Armenians had to pay discriminatory taxes and were denied participation in government.

The discriminatory actions and injustices made by the Turks provoked many Armenians to protest and fight for their basic rights. Between 1894 and 1896, the Turkish military took action upon these protests and began the first massacres that would later be known as the Armenian Genocide in which hundreds of thousands Armenians died. In 1908 a new form of government based on reformal ideas overthrew the previous leader, Sultan Abdul Hamid, they called themselves The Young Turks. They had different and more modern ideas,

Turkey has recently allowed the basing of American fighter jets in their country which permits the U.S. to decrease the flying time for its aircraft engaged in striking ISIS targets across the border. The citizens and politicians in the U.S. are weary from years of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and will not fully support the deployment of U.S. forces in a ground combat role against ISIS. Presently, U.S. forces on the ground are training anti-ISIS forces but the strict vetting process has kept the eligible pool of individuals quite low. The airstrikes have kept ISIS contained but the world still bears witness to the daily atrocities that are committed throughout their area of influence. ISIS will also continue their online recruitment and propaganda efforts in the hopes of finding and influencing individuals willing to carry out attacks within their respective countries in the name of

First, think about it, do you really want to eat me? Bro, you're already fat, do you want to gain more weight? Do you know what we go though just to get killed on thanksgiving. If you didn't know we cause cancer and diabetes, do you really want cancer? Do you think we are actually worth cancer and diabetes .

However, the United States and Russia both appear to stand steadfast due to a fear of showing weakness. However, eventually egos are set aside, and cooler heads prevail allowing the two nations to begin talks of de-escalating the situation. Now, each country is ready with a set of specific demands for the other government to agree upon to allow negotiations to succeed. For instance, the Russian Prime Minister demands that the United States agree not to invade Cuba after the Russian troops and supplies pull back from the island (History.com Staff, 2009). Also, the United States President requires that all Russian ballistic missiles return to their garrison base. Now, both countries agree to the initial terms with little hesitation. However, later on, the Russian Prime Minister asks for an additional condition of the United States; the Russian Prime Minister asks for all missiles that currently reside in Turkey go back to the United States (Scott & Smith, 1994, p.669). Consequently, President Kennedy obliged to the request leading to a de-escalation of the situation. Furthermore, the break of an all-out nuclear war aids in opening a new streamlined form of communications between the two nations to enable prompt dialogs. Now, that there is a substantial explanation of international negotiations that leads to the movement of each country's missiles and de-escalation of the tensions,

Similar tensions exist between the Iraqi Government and the Kurds. In the 1920s and 1930s the Turks put down the Kurds; the Turkish Government deprived them of the Kurdish identity by outlawing their language and forbidding them to wear traditional Kurdish clothing in cities. The Government also encouraged immigration of Kurds to the cities to divide the populations in the mountains. Turkey continues its policy of recognizing the Kurds as a minority.

As NATO allies, Turkey and the U.S., carry out their respective relations on the foundation of the universal values decided on by the majority of the states who uphold them. The values both states uphold include democracy, free-market economy, rule of law, and respect for human rights. The relationship between Turkey and the United States is founded on common values and interests and is time-tested. For years, differences of morals and opinions have not affected the quality of the relationship, despite its nature in interacting across many complicated regions and

So when Mustafa Kamal (Ataturk) began to form a Turkish nation state, it was not clear what constituted a Turk but soon, Kurds were considered as Turks and a policy aiming at the detribalization and assimilation of the Kurds was adopted… The Turkish government's pursuit of full assimilation has led to the proscription of publications of any book, newspaper, or other material in the Kurdish language. Moreover, there has also been an instance of arrests of entertainers for singing songs or performing in Kurdish.

On July 15th 2016, the nation of Turkey was shakened by an attempted military coup. The plot was originally planned for the following day. However, it is believed that the Turkish secret service became aware of the plan, forcing the conspirators to act earlier. The putschists were able to carry out synchronized attacks on the Turkish cities of Istanbul, Ankara, and Marmaris. In Ankara the parliament building was seized. The target in Marmaris was to capture and kill President Erdogan, who was vacationing at the Mediterranean resort town. The military action began at around 10:00 PM, with the closing of two Istanbul bridges connecting Europe and Asia. Coinciding with this, up to six F-16 fighter jets began a series of passes over the city of Ankara, refueling from four tanker planes that were flown from Incirlik air base. Incirlik is a large air force base were NATO and US forces are stationed. While these attacks were taking place in Turkey’s two largest cities, helicopters from Cigli airbase carried commando teams to carry out attacks on the hotel where Tayyip Erdogan was presumably vacationing. Erdogan narrowly escaped and was able to fly to Istanbul. While en route, the television network seized, returned to the air. Using social media, Erdogan was able to rally his supporters and told them to take to the streets. Mosques broadcasted calls for support. Interestingly, a significant proportion of
