ISW: Turkey Makes Potential Conflict With Russia Inevitable

The likelihood of military clashes between Russia and Turkey has become incredibly high.

Experts from the Institute for the Study of War said that Ankara's demonstration of its readiness to put a spoke in the wheels of Russia in Syria and Libya, as well as clear intervention in the conflict with Armenia, indicates the inevitability of military clashes between the forces of Turkey and Russia in the very near future. Crimea may become one of the key regions for this, as not only the Turkish media, but also the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself stated directly.

According to Western experts, Turkey's actions demonstrate a very high likelihood of an imminent conflict between Ankara and Moscow, although Turkey is obviously aware of the fact that it is very much inferior to Russia. At the same time, at the moment you can see that Ankara clearly suppresses the influence of Russia in the Caucasus, since Russia was unable to clearly define its position on the situation in Karabakh, supporting, including Azerbaijan itself, through the recognition of Karabakh as part of the territory of this country.

"Russia will seek to resolve the conflict by force in response to the growing military role of Turkey and the growing diplomatic role of the United States", - said analysts from the Institute for the Study of War.

Nevertheless, Turkey's radical statements regarding Crimea does not at all mean that Ankara will make any attempts to attack the peninsula, since it will immediately suffer defeat in a conflict that has not actually begun, although at the same time Turkey threatens to declare Russia a blockade in the Black Sea, closing the exit to ships into the waters of the Mediterranean.

No one considers Russia even after the downed plane, they did nothing after the murder of our ambassador, they didn’t accept anything either, this is a game if they’re afraid of nuclear weapons

Can you remind them of Gromyko's words about the strait?

For the guest "kukrynisty". Yes, he just took and asked a question in a search engine - the 21st century ... :) Apparently, the trade turnover between Russia and Turkey and Turkey with other countries is not closed information. Nothing complicated or unusual.

There will be no deliveries of tomatoes, there will be no kurots either, from the word at all

Where does such a deep knowledge of the turnover of countries come from, up to the dollar? It looks like another foreign agent sitting in the supreme power and leaking information to the Western intelligence services ...

This is slyness. RUSSIA was able to clearly define its position on the situation in Karabakh - Karabakh is the territory of Azerbaijan. What surprises anyone here? Or did they want to hang all the bad things on Russia? It will not work, but because Russia cannot afford injustice - the fact that "Karabakh is Azerbaijan" would immediately howl both the "yellow" and liberal press. By the way, everyone recognizes Karabakh as the territory of Azerbaijan in the UN. According to the CST, only the TERRITORY OF ARMENIA can be protected, but Karabakh is not, which Armenia itself recognizes without recognizing Karabakh as independent.

I wonder if Iran will give permission for the passage of Russian cruise missiles?

Quotes: ".. testifies to the inevitability of military clashes .... Declare a blockade ...." There is not much sense in a lot of words!
History says that when Turkey either itself or was led by the persuasion of European countries, attacking Russia always ended in losses, and vice versa, cooperating with Russia, Turkey has now become one of the leaders not only in the East, but perhaps also in Europe. The trade balance of Russia with Turkey in 2019 was positive in the amount of 16 092 252 579 USD THIS is higher than with France - 14,5 billion there. usd. Georgian proverb - ".. even not the most pleasant neighbor is better than a distant relative ...."

Sometimes the comments and conclusions of Western "analysts" funded by the United States deliberately escalate tensions between our countries. Having lost to the Kremlin in driving a wedge between NATO countries, they are trying to somehow get revenge.
We just need to keep in mind Erdogan's "hot" oriental temperament, his ambitions, and not indulge him in this.

Why fight? Russia not only does not regulate, but also created conditions favorable for the settlement of the peninsula by Tatars. Today, those who wish, and it is from the Tatars (!), Are successfully using the opportunity to seize several plots by self-capture, with their subsequent legalization and the immediate construction of mosques in such places. Is it worth explaining what this crazy policy of the Crimean leaders will lead to ?!
