Turkish Regime Revokes Ham Tickets!
- Thread starter W2EKG
- Start date
Why did you say that, as that doesn't make much sense? Turkey has been one of our best ally since/during WWII. A democratic republic with courts of law. However, I would have agreed with you that Putin's stinkfoot has been trying to take over Turkey; maybe that is what you're a-smellin' . . .
In the past I would agree with what you said. But this current regime has taken a more "Islamist," and less secular approach. The failed coup was a reaction to the loss of personal liberty. See video bellow.
We've witnessed the loss of portions of the Ukraine due to Russian infiltration and the nature of the Russians need to control their world by using infiltration and political tactics to attain it - still. I see no difference in what has happened in Turkey, as there is a large Russian presence in Turkey, using these same methods to create a coup. Russia wants to take Turkey in the same way they took the Crimea, since it was successful. The Bosphorus region is a pivotal place for the Russians to hold, since they also have designs on Greece, also undermining that gov't. The Russians have been emboldened by their success in Greece and the Ukraine; who says the domino theory isn't real? If it wasn't before; it now appears to be real . . .
Yes, it's heading that way. Besides, it stunk the last 3 times Uncle Sam thought I needed to be there.
Update: I just been informed this story "may" be an internet hoax. Does anyone know any Turkish Hams?
The battle between hams and turkey...coming to a deli near you!
... a paste from another site,........
"Tevfik TA1HZ (part of the TC Special Wireless Activity Team TCSWAT) was kind enough to email me the following information:
“Dear OM,
as of this time there is no curfew imposed on amateur radio in Turkey. The country is now under “extraordinary circumstances law” but BTK The Communications Authority has not released any announcement about ham radio restrictions. Some local professional radio and tv stations have their licences revoked but there is no information about any restrictions for amateur radio."
'Extraordinary Circumstances Law'. That is just another way of saying 'Marshal Law'. Erdogan may be over-reacting a little; but chalk it up to being very careful. All that stinkfoot Putin Gazprom money bought him huge influence, and he isn't done yet . . .
What is his next move?
Invading Syria?
Maybe . . .
