Turkish PM Cuts Ties With US, Mulls De-Dollarization With Russia
As Turkey's graft probe continues (which the Prime Minister believes is a conspiracy - fact or not - created by The West), AP reports that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he no longer holds "direct" telephone conversations with U.S. President Barack Obama, suggesting a rift between the leaders who were once close. What is perhaps even more concerning is Turkey's recent de-dollarization discussions with Russia to move to settlement in local currencies. It appears 'allies' are falling by the way-side quicker than many thought...
Turkey shuns Obama... (via AP)
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he no longer holds "direct" telephone conversations with U.S. President Barack Obama, suggesting a rift between the leaders who were once close.
In an interview with Turkey's ATV television late Monday, Erdogan said that "in the past, I used to call him directly. Because I was not able to get direct results on Syria, now our foreign ministers talk to each other."
Erdogan did not elaborate. But the Turkish leader is known to have been frustrated by U.S. reluctance for a military involvement in Syria to end the violence there.
Erdogan told ATV he speaks with Vice President Joe Biden to discuss Iraq.
In the past, Obama cast Turkey as a model democracy and the two would frequently talk by telephone.
Turkey prepares to De-Dollarize with local currency settlement with Russia... (via Google Translate)
In Sydney, the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Alexei Ulyukayev "on the margins" of the meeting of trade ministers of the "Group of Twenty" met with the Minister of Economy of the Republic of Turkey Nihat Zeybekchi.
In 2013, the volume of trade between the countries amounted to 32.7 billion dollars. Russia is the second (after the EU) among foreign trade partners of Turkey, and Turkey - the eighth largest trade partner of Russia.
As one of the measures to stimulate the development of trade and economic relations between Russia and Turkey, the Turkish side proposes to proceed in mutual national currencies. The question now being discussed at the site of the bilateral Working Group on banking and financial cooperation.
Minister of Economy of the Republic of Turkey Nihat Zeybekchi noted that the Turkish side is interested in building on the territory of Russian transport and logistics center for the provision of warehousing, customs clearance, loading and unloading, packing of goods, etc., which is connected with the sea ports, airports and railways and highways.
Discussion of all issues Ministers agreed to continue an ad hoc working group in late September in Istanbul.

Other leaders should just do the same:

Guess who can't fly over Turkey now, us, thanks to our gvt turkeys.
So, Turkey goes "cold turkey" on the dollar!
oi vey
It seems that the USSA evil empire is playing for broke in the Ukraine. Something must be scaring them to resort to such obvious false flags as ML17
I'll take a Turkey Club on rye please, with a shot of Vodka now.
And he's got a YouTube video to prove it.
Phhhhfft.
That is really going to throw a monkey wrench into everyones oil and gas pipeline ambitions...

Obama's leadership. Wherein he turns around and finds nobody following behind him.
Let's see if ISIS starts heading north now...
Elections anyone ?
The presidential election in Turkey has been scheduled for August 10, 2014.
Cmmon people, dont bite it
Don't worry. Hilary will solve everything. Because she's a woman and we need a woman president. And she'll reverse the Hobby Lobby decision.
“he no longer holds "direct" telephone conversations with U.S. President Barack Obama”
At least he has a choice to get that lying, collectivist POS out of his face each and every day.. something that is im-f’n-possible in this country.
You know, I can't help but wonder how much of this is due to the Wikileaks diplomatic cables and the Snowden NSA releases. I can imagine that most of the world leaders had little idea of the extent of how badly they were getting fucked over by the US, and I bet it hasn't been hard for Putin to win these nations over since then.
'ch'... yeah right
This is no surprise, is it? Turkey has been far from a close ally for many years. They changed fundamentally when they brought this guy in. He is a radical Muslim who will only be wooed by power. Recently Putin has been punking Obama at every turn, and with the BRICS monetary fund making news, this seems long overdue to me.
When Vlad is done laying pipe on the Continent they're going to have to re-name the Euro the Putano
Maybe it has to do with Israel killing the 9 on board the freedom boat and then realizing that talking to Obummer has no result at all because the Zionists are criminal and will control at all costs. The Turks are considered an honorable race, not like the Zionists.
Oh we're going to end up with a woman president, but it won't be Hillary.
Pocahontas 2016
Mary Ruwart 2016
Ann Barnhardt 2016. Provided I get to uuh, speak to her.
Bathhouse Barry and Michael are going to need to up their bullshit meter. Lately, the lies are not even remotely believable.
Elizabeth Warren
I will be her personal bodyguard, I back that idea. Think Whitney Houston.
A sexy, intelligent former hedge fund manager as prez... How much worse could it be than the head Czar, bathhouse Barry?
Mary Ruwart 2016
I'm pretty sure Mary wouldn't want the job, but she is terrific.
That election outcome was likely already settled months if not years ago...
ha... turkey starts having "Al CIA-da insurgents" and an 'arab spring' movement in 3.2.1....
Don't worry, he still has European puppets and middle east dictators.
Little Tin Horn wanna be Obama. Such a jackoff
Obama, "he turns around and finds nobody following behind him."
We have to blame the american voter for this. Obama is what he was. It is not his fault that what worked for the US voter does not work for intelligent people (or possibly people without the spoon feeding of the american media)....
We should stop electing people we want to have a beer with. Intelligence should not be an disadvantage. We do this in the education environment and in the real world.
I wonder what changed Erdogan's mind, could it of been the publicly unreleased tape where Vicky Nuland says 'Fuck Turkey and Erdogan'
But seriously, how much longer did he think he would last after Khadafi and Assad before the dual citizen run USA would turn on him to secure the oil and gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean for you know who....
They sold him out on the promises they made for helping overthrow Assad.
They used to be good friends not so long ago... ah it's seems like only yesterday...
http://www.todayszaman.com/news-243660-erdogan-assad-is-a-good-friend-bu...
I suspect the new Kurdish state Bibi & friends wish to set up may cost him some acres as well...
http://joshuaproject.net/assets/media/profiles/maps/m12877_tu.png
But wasn't it Russia that prevented the US from bombing Syria and overthrowing Assad?
Nope... Obama made that decision. Unless Bush it was Bush's fault.
And then AIPAC went fucking nuts.
Now I hear they don't speak so much...
Turkey, Germany + Russia = domination of central Europe.
Seriously, though. From Bulgaria, to Belarus, to Austria.
Its a nice little triangle.
Bulgaria and Serbia will be happy to join too.
It is really quite simple. Putin showed Merkel the goods, and she is passing them around.
The room of Anglo Dollar believers is emptying out.
No one wants to hold dollars or hands with the US any longer. Disgusting Bitch! They stopped the car and threw her out!
Now she'll throw up on herself.
Turkey & Germany certainly have form........
They make a great Axis of Central Powers.

Interesting tidbits
July 28th, 1914 - Austria declared war on Serbia (looks like this anniversary will be ignored)
August 1st, 1914 - Germany declared war on Russia (looks like this particular anniversary will also be ignored)
August 4th, 1914 - United Kingdom declared war on Germany (Hmmmmm, too soon?)
October 29th, 1914 - Turkey entered war on Germany's side..... Just a fortnight before this fabulous G20 Gala Ball thing Tony Abbott of Australia is hosting. All the cool people will be there. The greetings are going to be fun!
Nah... Russia bailed Obama's ass out and the Nazi shitshow in the Ukraine was all the thanks Puitn got.
Congress, although extremely willing as usual, was getting some serious heat from the people who vote.
The great and mighty O has no time for those who do not share his brilliant vision of what the world can become...unfortunately for the great and might O, no one shares his vision.
Oh, I'll betcha Cloward and Piven are happy
PS Which pipeline was it that goes across Turkey?
The one that was suppose to go through Syria?
TAP. From Azerbajan.
Turkey is an important NATO partner.
This is strange.
Things these days are so complety fucked up it gives anyone who is still capable of rational or critical thought migraines.
Unless our leaders are secretly brilliant and merely acting like fools... well... it's beginning to look more and more like a free-for-all.
No wonder they wheeled out Cheney...
the cognitive dissonance comes from seeing nation states as benefactors.
the plan
bring in new world order. must bring america lower. transfer assets east. ruin americas reputation. alienate americas allies. devalue usd. disarm merikans. one world currency tied to export value. mass refugees status to break up regions of solidarity. war between muslims and everyone else. resolution - outlaw nations and religions. one world system complete. target date 2025
I wonder how much longer they will remain in NATO? Even if they stay perhaps they will be very reluctant parteners. Let's see if they as NATO troops to leave the country...
NATO never leaves.
After all they are US... and it would fuck immensely with our ambitions of global dominance.
I am wondering when the French will kick NATO out again. I really see no reason why they bothered joining.
Turkey WAS an important NATO member. What we are witnessing, is the break up of NATO, and it is all because of the Ukraine debacle. NATO has lost it's all important south flank. The Black Sea Fleet will now have little to fear of a closure of the Bosphorus straight too. VERY important development.
Turks are shrewd business people, first and foremost. Like Istanbul itself, they have the European-Asian dichotomy/duality in them. They know how to leverage their unique geographic position for national gain.
If they come out ahead economically with a direct currency swap (that avoids the USD), they will do it. NATO will become a moot point and superfluous the minute the Dollar gets knocked off its lofty perch. The rest of the EU will pivot quickly to make Eurasian deals also, and ditch the DC-bitch.
The Dollar's days of Wine & Roses are numbered. Soon it will be Guns & Poses.
What is even more strange is that Turkey dispises Russia ... and are now considering economic cooperation ... what does that tell you about how they see us??
Well its complicated, the Russians supplied arms and helped the young Turks keep Turkey together. Michael Frunza, a leading Soviet general is standing with Ataturk and others in a statue in Istanbul. Sure they have been enemies for hundreds of years. But they know each other pretty well and respect each other. Respect is a big thing in that part of the world. We seem to be disrespecting anyone and everyone. I mean even though Turkey and Russia are on opposite sides of the table with Syria, Putin was the first one to call and congratulate Erdogan on his second election, that is a sign of respect.
Not strange given the perfidious behaviour of Washington....no one trusts anything they do or say.
Latina Lover.... "Something must be scaring them"
De-dollarization = High inflation and high interest rates
I do believe that Cameron is dense enough to go for Gallipoli 2.0 when the SHTF. The Turks are not push overs, especially in defense. Where are the Dardenelles again.
cossack55,
No, he won't! I give it a 5% probability.
But I tell you when the SHTF.
When Egypt goes to war.
With whom? Inquiring minds want to know.
Optimusprime... "Inquiring minds want to know."
LOL! I like the way you phrased it.
Israel.
Why do you think Israel signed a Peace Treaty with Egypt?
Then, attacked Lebanon in less than 24 months after that.
That is something us Aussies know all about. We got our collective arses kicked at Gallipoli. (Proniunced ARS EZ)
The Turks were very adept opposition but showed and, continue to show us Aussies/NZers great respect.
Ergodan is a hard one to pick but this is a very interesting move. We await to see Germany make a similar announcement. Jim Willie has been spouting that Germany has decided to ditch the EU and pitch their tents with Russia and the east.
If and when that happens I'll get excited.
Yeah, but if Cameron tried to pull that trick he'd have to convince Aussie PM Tony Abbott - a Rhodes Scholar no less!!!! - to go along with him.
No chance!!!
Oh, hang on, did you say Tony Abbott?
Abbott is likely to do ANYTHING that OBama tells him to.
Abbott can be better understood if you spell his name slowly.....A bot
"It seems that the USSA evil empire is playing for broke in the Ukraine. Something must be scaring them to resort to such obvious false flags as ML17"
Israel must have their pipeline and Lebensraum. They have already purchased a new bulldog--Europe.
The well-informed people know that Germany and Turkey have long had good ties (same side in WW1), and most Turks working abroad are in Germany. If Turkey and Germany pivot East, and Southstream goes to Vienna, it's really bad news for US oil+gas, not to mention the Fed.
In the meantime, direct currency exchanges that avoid the USD is more critical, as something will be required to mop up all those Petrodollars sloshing around.
Interesting thoughts, probably accurate. Thanks
Hillarious, LOL!
YES YES YES!!!!
This is F-ing GREAT!!
it's Christmas ...for US turkeys
I'm surprised anyone wants to talk to Obama...he's nothing but an amatuer playing government.
it has been said he plays basketball like a white man and runs the country like a black thug. LOL.
Erdogan is mentally unbalanced as a matter of established fact so in this vein I'll say the US not attacking Syria is the good side of the argument - though clearly both sides are pathologically evil.
p.s. once erdogan is finally outed from office for corruption and warcrimes, he should go to the forbidden city in china and become a palace eunuch.

well done
Going to destroy?
Not been reading the foreign press, I assume....
OK, I can't hold it back, anymore.
It's all Bush's fault

erdugonna is a child rapist an international human organ trader his most important job is helping his friends and blood brothers the rabbi's of israhell.
if this dog was serious he already would of done an intel dump on the real people behind 911.
Maybe, but he just won a new round of local elections. He's going to be around for a while...
Maybe not there is always the possibility the Turkish military is prodded to sour on him and don't forget Fethullah Gulen a US backed Turkish oligarch type is lurking in the shadows.
Fat chance ! He has gutted the Turkish military, and replaced all top commanders with his people, as a priority. Gulen has lost the game, and he'll be lucky to stay out of jail.

Well, the Turks and Muslims know how many Muslims have died due to the DOD and American "liberations": Lots. Hundreds of thousands. And the blood baths just won't end.
They also know how many have died or been oppressed under Putin, when they took Crimea, where a significant Muslim population lives: Zero. People outside the US notice this stuff.
"world hates Washington
Americans hate Washington"
The New World Order?
"The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make the rest of us wonder at the possibility that we might be missing something." - Gamal Abdel Nasser
The whole world hates the American elite, not the people. And in the long run it'd be better for the latter for the dollar to collapse. That's the only way we will get the Great Reset.
Not been overseas for a while, I take it.
Really.
Luckily enough I can revert back to public school english at a moments notice,or
if in England,where some yank slang words give me away if I'm not very careful,
I can pretend to speak only romanche,which nobody understands outside of switzerland ,
and nobody can detect my accent.
Even everyday english people are not friendly to yanks anymore.It only goes downhill
from there.A yank abroad is getting as popular as a fart in a spacesuit.
When SHTF don't be abroad, or in the cities here.
The great reset only means a new elite take over. Be careful what you wish for.
BTW, the world only hates the concept of the American Elite. But, they like the wealthy Americans when they buy a villa in Tuscany. That's the problem with "the elite", they ARE nice to have a beer with.
Yeah but when they see fat Americans getting a hissiy fit over some black Friday sales, that doesn't reflect very well..
... the rest of the world hates American ignorance at the very least.
The world loves our T-bones. They're just tired of getting T-boned by the DOD and CIA.
Got to add NSA to that alphabet.
We are currently "helping" the Kurds. The Turks consider the Kurds "those people". Nobody like it when you help "those people". The Kurds better watch themselves.
Turkey is a NATO member. Not sure that's important or not, but it is fact.
i smell bullshit. erdogan is pissed off because owebomba wouldn't bomb syria, which russia was totally against, so now he is buddies with putin? fuck yeah dump the usd, i hope they all do but holy fuck that excuse is lame as hell.
Added to that, the strange relationship between Turkey and some European countries...
Russia is being pumped out by various leeches.
Israel wants to buy oil from the Kurds, via Syria. Turkey not happy about a Kurdish deal.
Plus we don't know what kind of a pipeline deal the Russians and Turks got cooking. An underwater line in the Black Sea, direct to Istanbul could hedge the Southstream via Bulgaria.
At this point, it's ALL about ENERGY + CURRENCY: Whose energy and whose currency. Bitchez.
Hedge accordingly.
The two muslim bros have their panties in a tiff
why this perpetual turkey and turks suck?
turkey sucks because they suffer graft and corruption?
london and d.c and tel aviv are good because they are paragons of virtue?

Gee I wonder why people around the globe are getting tired of supporting the US's exorbitant priviledge and all the other games that affords them to play.
Yeah, we'll see tho. Everybody gangs-up on the biggest dick, but when the lesser dicks start fighting between themselves some of them look at the big-dick for help. He, then, pounds a few of the lesser dicks and twists the arms of the lesser dicks who asked for help, and things go back to normal - for awhile. Should be interesting to see kids fight (as long as your own kids aren't dieing for the dicks, of course).
I thought Turkey believed in tourism?

At least Canada and Uruguay are still friends with us for now...
You forgot Poland.
Nope, even Poland doesn't like us anymore...

And Sealand.
Don't forget Sealand.

Or San Marino
And I'll betcha the Vatican would forgive any hard feelings
Bend over so I may bless you my son
Sorry SixSigma but the Canadians pretend to be America's friends ...when the US invades illegally yet another unthreatening foreign land they send 70 troops on a slow boat to China to sho 'support' for the latest US Govt lunatic fringe (Rockerfella-Rothchild etc)) global thuggery
the slow boat usually arrives 3 weeks after the illegal invasion has finished
i think Uruguay is faking orgasms too ..they're probably on tens of billions of loans and aid from the rotten US foreign trade bank that subsidises GE's garbage international trade projects... shit nuclear power stations and other crap like that
This will be Obamas Legacy..the devaluation and replacement of the Dollar...he will do this well..
Turkey and Kurdistan are best of friends now, and Kurdistan is exporting their Oil throught the pipeline to Turkish Ceylan port, the US will not recognise Kurdistan as the only safe and non lunatic part of Iraq, that is another reason I would think the Turks are pissed, as the US fails to help Kurdistan against ISIS although their troops the Peshmerga are the only Iraqi troops that didn't run a way and have a fearsome reputation similar to what the Gurkhas have. There are currently over 50 foreign Oil firms working in Kurdistan including Chevron Exxon, marathon, total etc etc, in total safety,but that fucking idiot Obama wants them run from Baghdad, who refuse to pay their Civil Servants, it is a totally ridiculous situation and yet another US fuckup.
On the surface it appears the Neocon Washington establishement and Israel go from strength to strenght. Destroy nations at will. Libya, Syria, Iraq, Ukraine. Get un questioned support from the EU and NATO in every action they take. Have total control over all spy agencies and what they do. More importantly, Washington and APICAC literally hole the words media in a death grip over ownership and influence. They seem untouchable. It may even be, only maybe, that they can run a false flag as big as dowing an Air Liner and be able to use their total power to steal all evidence of who did it and them provide their own media and investigative control to pin it on those who did not do it.
BUT, dollar hegemony makes this all possible. DOllar hegemony hurts many other economies and nations very badly. The dollar is the world's vampire, able to steal strength, resources and power from most every nation in the world. Perhaps there are now SO MANY victims of the dollar system that those who suffer are beginning to band together and seek a way out of Washington's death grip around their throats and economies.
Time will tell. Washington will not go down without a fight. Look at Ukraine to see how many they are prepared to kill in their power struggle.
Jack,
You got it! it's the dollar. See my comment above.
If the same people could pull off an operation the scale of 9/11 and not just get away with it but get their enemies blamed, then a single airliner is child's play.
Monty Burns,
Can we keep 9/11 out of this? You all made your point.
9/11 was the Major Turning Point in official American tyranny. It's still difficult for most Earthlings to comprehend that Americans would do this to themselves, or allow others to do it to them, for political (and monetary) gain.
There's no way to keep 9/11 out of 21st Century politics. 9/11 is the yardstick that measures the credibility and motives of American leadership.
And speak up and you’re an anti-Semite.
What’s the opposite of an anti-Semitic protest? It’s a Semitic cheering section like the bottom dwelling, bought-out US Congress too weak to stand up to AIPAC. As for the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Italy who condemn those of us protesting the slaughter in Gaza as being anti-Semitic, they too are sycophant politicians indebted for their jobs to the US State Department and to NATO monetary assistance from the United States, i.e., to Israel.
Says Stephen M. Walt (professor of International Affairs, Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government) in his Huffington Post article today, AIPAC Is the Only Explanation for America's Morally Bankrupt Israel Policy: Members of the House and Senate “understand that even the slightest display of independent thinking on these issues could leave them vulnerable to a well-funded opponent the next time they’re up for election. At a minimum they will have to answer a flood of angry phone calls and letters, and, on top of that, they are likely to be blackballed by some of their Congressional colleagues.”
There can be no escaping the truth that Israel would not have this power and the abililty to position these political puppets into power without Jewish control and ownership of the US world reserve currency. Israeli sympathizers and/or Israel-US dual citizens not only print US dollars out of thin air, they can allocate them in secret to whomever they favor. The end result: members of Jewish families hold almost every key financial position in the United States.
And now Israel not only shares in but directs surveillance of US citizens and politicians.
Foreign ministers of Germany, France, Italy condemn anti-Semitic protests | RT
The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Italy on Tuesday condemned anti-Semitic protests and violence in their countries over the conflict in Gaza. “Anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostility against Jews, attacks on people of Jewish belief and synagogues have no place in our societies,” AP quoted a joint statement of German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, France’s Laurent Fabius and Italy’s Federica Mogherini issued in Brussels. The ministers pledged to do everything possible to fight “acts and statements that cross the line to anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia.”
Meanwhile, today, as the housing of the UNRWA Girls' School in Gaza is taking direct hits by Israeli shelling, resulting in more displacement and destruction …
600 Deaths in Israeli Gazi op: Military Hits Mosques, Stadium, Homes, Hospital | RT
July 22, 2014
Israel kept up attacks on Gaza on Tuesday, killing three Palestinians and hitting over 70 targets, including five mosques, a sports stadium and the home of the deceased Hamas military chief.
The latest casualties in the fortnight-long violence have brought the Palestinian death toll to 570, according to AP. Almost 100 of them are children and many others are civilians.
Additionally, nearly 500 homes have been destroyed in the Israeli bombardments and 100,000 people have been displaced, said Jens Laerke, spokesman of the UN Office for Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) at a Geneva news briefing...
The US is "deeply concerned about the consequences of Israel's appropriate and legitimate effort to defend itself," [US Secretary of State John] Kerry said [Monday in Cairo].
http://rt.com/news/174632-deaths-israeli-gaza-operation/
Just explain that Palestinians are Semites* too.
People aren't so much Antisemitic, as they are Anti-Zionist. And don't forget that it wasn't that long ago that the UN said that Zionism was a form of apartheid racism. Subsequent US pressure and arm-twisting of allies changed that UN resolution.
* Descendants of Shem, the Biblical son of Noah. Although I didn't know that Noah was an Aussie and his hot-looking wife so Anglo looking.
It helps to understand that the 13th Tribe, the Ashkenazim that control Israel, is not Semitic. They are, in fact, the real anti-Semites. Truth-telling is not one of their more conspicuous virtues.
i just want to know what kissinger has on the elite that they would throw their sovereignty out the window and sell their people up shit creek by only using the USD in trade.
that motherfucker could sell ice to eskimos, or a lifetime membership to mans country to the jihadist in chief.
Yeah but the real question is; did he unfriend him on Farcebook? That's the true test of friendship.
As of now he has just blocked him
You get the idea that Putin is the New Osama Bin Laden?
But it just ain't working since Vlad refuses to be controlled like OBL?
Gonna take more than some doomed Navy Seals this time.
So Turkey is mad that their direct handling, training and supplying of ISIS and al-Nusra in Syria and Iraq at the behest of the CIA, MI6 and Saudi/Qatari intelligence has been exposed. Mad that it's military leaders were caught planning a false flag attack to frame the Assad regime. Mad that its citizens regularly riot in the streets and want to put Erdogan's head on a pike. After everything they've done for NATO and the MIC, they couldn't even get a lousy US airstrike on Damascus. Poor Erdogan.
Could be a ploy to put pessure on the EU to speed up its application to join the bankrupt club.
Is Obama out golfing? Seems like no one seems to care what is happening there at the White House.
