The gas indicator, “the Russian yoke” of Ottoman and deadlock

О газовом индикаторе, "российском иге" и Османском тупике

…If you focus on a gas pipeline, Russian middle East and southern European areas of the stalemate period. “South stream” stopped “Turkish stream” is suspended. Although lexical differences are, one essence. Bad. And there and there.

From a historical and geopolitical point of view Russia is preferable to continue the “South stream”. It is designed for gas sconce carcasses Bulgarians (for Russian blood was shed, including against the Turks), as well as the Greeks, Serbs, Slovenes. And to give “gas valve” Turkey, at least, is not only logical, but also far-sighted.

Turkey was, is and will be a permanent regional opponent. Moreover, cunning, sly, sneaky. Once again it is the Turks have demonstrated, when November 24, 2015 shot down in Syria, the Russian su-24. The Russian President called this reprehensible act “a stab in the back”.

But Turkey is not doing anything unusual, the supernatural. “Backstab” is placed in the usual Turkish strategema against Russia. Erdogan considered that the moment successful, the collective West headed the U.S. Russia imposed sanctions, and its impact will cause the NATO partners jubilation and approval. But miscalculated. The West responded with cold silence. But the U.S. pulled even. From that moment for Erdogan began a black stripe. So much so, that Barak refused to accept Recep in the White house. And this is a strong sign. Almost a black mark.

Meanwhile, in Europe, the louder the voice of moderate politicians calling for the curtailment of anti-Russian sanctions. Sanctions-the double edged sword. And understand that more and more comes to the Europeans, who lost on these sanctions, perhaps even more than Russia.

This is also evidenced by the fact that Bulgaria has repeatedly asked Russia to return to the project of gas pipeline “South stream”.

Perhaps to some extent of the Russian sacrifice in the form of downed su-24 and a dead pilot will not be in vain if Russian gas to southern Europe will go is still not through Turkey, through Bulgaria. And this likelihood increases with each passing day.

Seeing this, the headquarters of Erdogan’s willing to give “full back”. More than once the Turkish President tried to make peace with the Russian President. Putin is solid. And that position is justified, including geostrategic and geopolitical borders. Tomatoes tomatoes, and trade of strategic resources is the trade in strategic resources. And Turkish stab in the back reminded again about this fundamental difference.

Yes, and “powinna head” Erdogan is just the latest maneuver in the strategy of “soft power”. Personally, neither erdoğan nor the Turkish government has never apologized to Russia for the downed su-24. This is from one side. Other Turkish diplomats regularly remind Muslims that Russia is the successor of the Russian Empire, “the faithful were oppressed for 300 years”.

A strange feature if it comes to the yoke, it definitely lasts 300 years. He measured three centuries of the Mongol-Tatar yoke in Russia. Now here is the same credited with the “Russian yoke” over the Turkic peoples.

But it’s not even in this historical arithmetic, but the fact that Erdogan still leaves the idea of the incarnation of the modern project of the Ottoman Empire. Hence the “Russian yoke”, to “stir up” Muslims in Russia, and the war with the Kurds, to take possession of their territories, and for the same purpose, the war in Syria, which Erdogan wanted to break up and divide without offending a loved one.

Maybe this script and ride would not intervened in the “Syrian question” by Russia. Russian HQs and Putin has placed a “Syrian issue” boxes, which are now difficult to get the U.S. and Europe to avoid being accused of aiding ISIL and the aggressor Erdogan. And this puts the latter at a serious disadvantage, which already have to think not about the resuscitation of the Ottoman Empire, and about their own skin.

The litmus test for middle-Eastern-southern European destinations and could be the direction of Russian gas flow. He will return to Bulgaria is one story, turn to Turkey — it will be already another story altogether. Have patience and wait.
