Middle East in 2015

Turk Telekom is Europe's 5th largest telecommunication company.
It controls 16,800 miles of fiber-optic networks in 16 central and southeastern European countries
News Detail | Home | Türk Telekom

I think, they have the know-how to implement fiber-optic lines in the Middle-East for data-integration of the involved countries.

LOL, big fucking deal. :lol:

Israel invented the Pentium and Centrino microprocessors for Intel that power most computers in the world.:clap2:

Where wuz allah when Intel needed him? :lol:
Linus Torvalds figured out what to do with them.

Go back to polishing your knob, loser.:lol:

Look.. The point is if Turkey continues to go down the islamist road they'll be finished,. Unless of course the military reasserts its power before the radicals gain control of the government. Either way there is NO certainty on Turkey’s future right now, You can post all you're glowing stats if you want but the reality is future is uncertain for that country

You are lying to yourself.
There was world-wide economic crisis, yet, economy performs with highest growth within G-20 behind China. Given this fact, there are no uncertainties.

Economy and population will grow.
Tax-collection and government-budget will continue to rise.
Debt-to-GDP ratio will continue to sink.

Turkey has cultural and historic ties to all the places Turkey disconnected with in 1918. Nothing unnatural about Turkey showing interest in the developments of these regions (see common-market in 1st post).
What was abnormal was the absence of this interest for decades, partly due to economic impotence and being jailed into Cold-War by Superpowers.

In 1918, Turkey was an agricultural country of 19 millions having to form a nation-state out of rest-population of a multinational Caliph-Confederation who relocated or were forced out of their homelands into Anatolia.
Today, we are world's 16th largest (15th PPP) industrial country of 75 millions, which is on a healthy and sustainable growth-path aiming to become 10th largest in 2023, when the Republic turns 100 years old.
Now, we need yearly growth of 8.2% to achieve that aim. if we achieve it in 2023 or 2026 is not that really important, because besides Russia there is no power in West-Asia to over-power Turkey in capabilities. How that capabilities are used is again a total different subject, but the capabilities are and will increasingly be exerted outwards of the Turkish borders. Why? Because we simply can.

What the Generals or Politicians do in Ankara regarding domestic-politics is not going to change anything to the fact, that economic size allows Turkey to become more independent and by that focussed on self-interests.

All those mindsets like you or Marc39 know it also. Preaching uncertainty won't bring uncertainty or a power to contain Turkey.
If you build Intel chip or have won 6 nobels does also not change the fact, that countries in Turkey's periphery have all smaller economies and a smaller industrial base.


hey turkey can have a brighter future ahead of it, I applaud any progress in that direction, however, IF secularism is given a back seat all bets are off.

There's no "IF"
 
It is already when...

And when is upon us already...
 
And please stop your Neo-Con fantasies about bombing Iran.

The Arab countries want Iran bombed, as revealed in the WikiLeaks. (...)

Arabs talk a lot.
Let us say, some Arab countries really want to attack Iran or want Iran to be attacked, then it is further proof that those regimes ruling against the will of their populations need to sacked and will of the people be established in those countries.

How's Mubaraks heart rate doing?
 
(...) IF secularism is given a back seat all bets are off.

Yes, I also was worried about the religious-fundamentalists when they did their show on the memorial on Luther day.



Turkey is in a class of its own. It is an influential actor on the world stage with considerable soft power. Its economy is expected to expand by more than 5 percent this year, compared with a eurozone average of 1 percent. The O.E.C.D. predicts that Turkey will be the second-largest economy in Europe by 2050.
Turkish entrepreneurs in Europe already run €40 billion worth of businesses and employ 500,000 people.

Let us say you're clueless since there is not one democratic Muslim shithole in the world reflecting the will of their populations, Arab, Turkish or Persian. Publically criticize Turks' role in the Armenian Genocide and you'll be looking at the inside of a Turkish prison post haste.
 
Turkey and Syria hold the second prime-ministerial-level meeting of an intergovernmental strategic council, bringing 26 ministers together in Ankara to evaluate the progress made in implementing the 51 agreements signed last year between the two countries
(...)
The issues discussed including unifying the natural-gas pipelines in the two countries by the end of 2011, expanding security cooperation, unifying customs measures and systems, clearing landmines from the Turkish-Syrian border and opening those fields to agriculture and putting underway a joint plan to operate border gates. The topic of a joint technical committee to study a “Friendship Dam on the Orontes River” to increase the amount of electricity and water Turkey sends to Syria is also in the agenda.

Both F-35 and F-16 are single engine aircrafts, F-4 are twin engine.
The F-4's in Turkish inventory will be phased out in 2020, then there will be need for a new twin-engine aircraft.
Turkey will replace them with an indigenous Aircraft.

Turkey to build ‘national, original’ fighter aircraft - Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review
PressTV - Turkey snubs Eurofighter for own jet
Turkey to design, produce its own fighter jet - Arab News

Our current F-4's are modernized versions in 2 configurations
- 2020E Terminator (Air-to-Ground bombing missions)
- ISIK/Lightning (reconnaissance)

The indigenious aircraft to be developed until 2023 will very likely have a mission-duty to fly behind F-35 and F-16, so an air-to-ground bombing aircraft with twin-engines.


Turkish Airforce around 2023:

100+ F-35
240 F-16 CCIP (same configuration of US Airforce)
??? indigenous F-4 replacements.

Dependent on how many F-4 repolacements we get, we might displace Royal Airforce's status of having NATO's 2nd largest Airforce.
Currently, the Turkish Airforce has NATO's 3rd largest Airforce.

As for unmanned Aircraft, we have revealed the ANKA (TIHA-A).
The Airforce will get 30 units.
Serial production will begin in 2012.
The A-Version will be a reconnaissance drone.
The B-Version will be a combat drone.

Our new Attack Helicopters.
It is developed between Italy and Turkey.
Turkey has full marketing and intellectual property rights for the T-129 platform.
The engine of the platform is the Comanche programe's engine (LHTEC T800), that programe was canceled by USA. We have obtained the licence from USA to produce the engines, decreasing development costs for the new Attack Helicopter.

Turkish Army will get 51 units plus optional 40 units.
Of the optional 40 units we have already ordered 9 units, making the total order 60 units.
We will begin to receive the Attack Helicopter in 2013.

Our new Battle Tanks.

Turkish Army will get 1.000 units in 4*250 production slots paving the way for upgrades between each slot.
The first 2 slots will be powered by Leopard-2 engine (1.500 HP) from German MTU company.
The last 2 slots will be powered by an indigenous 1.800 HP engine currently under development.

Until 2012 the production consortium will develop 4 different prototypes, from which the Army will choose 1 prototype.

The production consortium consists of S.Korean-Turkish companies.

Our new satellites.

- 6 spy satellites between 2012 - 2020 will be launched
---- 3 optical satellites
---- 2 Synthetic Aperture Radars
---- 1 Infra-Red Heat-Seeker

The first satellite is developed between Telespacio (Italy) and TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industry).
This is it (The first 2 being launched are optical satellites, not weather independent like the SAR satellites which will be launched later).

The Göktürk-2 is being developed paralell and will be launched also in 2012 like the GökTürk-1.
