Ever since Erdogan came to power in 2002, Turkey has been steadily expanding its military, both domestically and internationally. So, in this video, we take a look at the expansion of the military, and how this fits into Erdogan's wider foreign policy.

In Turkey, nearly 10 million Kurdish people are living in peace. So, if any Kurdish citizen needs to be protected Turkish army is to one to protect.

The answer is to your observation is the Ottoman versus Arabic expansion, the legal system of Ottomans versus the rest of invaded populations, the WW1, the New Turks and the establishment of the Turkish Military and Industrial Complex. And this is just the peak of the Iceberg. It is not the hostility of the nations here the issue, but the strategic planning of a country for the next 100 years and the previous historical impact of the same country. P.S. The slave market in Constantinople was until 1923. The great grandfather of Boris Johnson (according to Boris Johnson himself!) bought his bride like this. Go figure.
As obvious as that is, westerners are experts in framing others. Just look at the thumbnail they used for this picture.
Do they do the same for USA, France and the UK? Ofcourse not.
@@christopherneufelt8971 His great grandfathers wife was a English women he met in Switzerland, they married 1903 in London.

Boris Johnson's grandfather was a pawn agent working for England within the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the Turkish War of Independence, Johnson's grandfather Ali Kemal was lynched captured and by the Turkish people.

It was very nice and helpful for the USA to bring democracy to Iraq, but hahah... every state has its interests, and states with mutual interests get along well with each other. Somalia-Türkiye relationship and England-France relationship are examples of this.
The Ottoman Empire is an empire that ruled for 600 years, did not interfere with the religion of its own subjects, and served the places it conquered without a slave-master mentality. Those who speak ill of the Ottomans are far from history and ignorant. Today, there are tears and blood in the lands where the Ottomans retreated.
"Didn't interfere with the religion" This state literally promoted Islamic supremacy.
Maybe some armenian would have some remark. Convicted conversions of prisoners and continous harassment of neighboring native people was also part of their turk mindset. Now after 600 years they started to have something like a navy thanks to Western technology...what is the output? Maybe an empire of retarded violent gangsters?

I wish you also mentioned what is PKK. PKK is listed as a terrorist organization internationally by the members of the European Union and others such as United States, Canada and Australia. If you you define something as soldier (regarding the part mentioned in the video as PKK soldiers), it should be part of a proper military that belongs to a country. A terrorist organisation's militans cannot be considered as soldier but only as terrorist. Either carelessly or intentionally and wrongly made video which leads terrorism washing. noted.
Why do they tell what PKK really is? They are the "good" terrorists for their interests.
Yes, it's very disturbing. He talks about the PKK as if it were a peaceful national organization and as if Turkey had forced Iraq to accept that the PKK is a terrorist organization. PKK is responsible for the deaths of more than 40 thousand people in Turkey.
according to your foolish logic, the fsa should be also considered a terrorist organization, and yet turk*y supports it
Insane amount of bias from this channel against Turkey. It's quite a fall from grace.
Turkey isn't fighting "Kurdish militant groups" - They are fighting an offshoot of the PKK, a terrorist organisation that has killed over 40,000 people in Turkey through massacres, car bombings, suicide attacks. Of course Kurdish people were not treated well in the past, but the situation is quite different right now. The Turkish Vice President, Foreign Minister, Economics Minister and even minister of Intelligence are all ethnic Kurds. Vast amounts of Conservative, Religious Kurds make up a core part of Erdogan's base and Turkey has solid relations with the Iraqi Kurdish government (whom they engage in joint operations against the PKK with).
The YPG are simply an offshoot of the PKK, have the same veneration for Abdullah Ocalan and pretty much the exact same members. The YPG being based in Syria isn't surprising as this is where Ocalan spend a large amount of time plotting attacks in Turkey some decades back.
Saying this as someone who is half Kurdish, the fact that you and other channels call it a "Kurdish militant group" is pretty despicable. Kurds are roughly 25-30 million in Turkey. They have indeed been treated badly in the past, but as years have gone on, all I've seen is them being more and more integrated with the state and society. Kurdish people are diverse in their political leanings and religious conservatism. Stating the PKK/YPG as some kind of all-true representatives of Kurdish people is pretty insulting.
Read about the Yavi massacre of 1993, the Ormancik massacre of 94, the Cevizdalı massacre, Cevizdalı massacre, Çetinkaya Store massacre and more - in almost all of these cases Kurdish civilians who didn't want to join the PKK were the main target. Women, children, babies, they did not care, they executed them in cold blood and this is one of the main reasons why they have largely been rejected by the Kurdish populace as a whole.
There's so much more misinformation dotted across your video. The Azeri war wasn't against Armenia, it was against separatists who massacred Azeri civilians and created nearly 1 million refugees from illegally occupying internationally recognised territory in Nagorno-Karabakh. The recent war was simply Azerbaijan taking back their internationally recognised land. Bizarre that you wouldn't mention this critical piece of information.
Turkey's military support in Libya was actually for the NATO, EU and UN recognised Libyan Government against the Russian backed Haftar regime. You also purposely didn't mention this.
I truly agree turkey at the moment occupies lands from 3 states as well as commits horrific crimes against humanity but in this channel it's all hailed .... Russia occupies lands from 2 states just for reference
Not only this channel, but generally western media likes to call them militants, rebels and even workers party? instead of what they actually are. I've been following news about Turkiye and in certain issues, I always see a hypocrisy on NATO allies about Turkiye's security. They were supposed to defend a fellow member but instead joined Russia and Iran in support of PKK to use aagainst their own ally. After years long observations I come up with the only reasonable explanation for their actions and that is fear. They are scared of a strong, self-dependant Turkiye in the future and trying to halt this before too late.
@@spyrosxatziligos9179 Which lands are you talking about? Turkey was a founding state of the republic of Cyprus (as per the Zurich agreement) when Greek Cypriot fascists wanted to ethnically cleanse Turkish Cypriots they got involved and put an end to it. Turkey and the Greek Cypriots literally worked together on the Annan plan with the EU as a way for the island to reunite, and Greek Cypriots voted overwhelmingly against it (Turkish Cypriots voted for it).
Turkey is in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi Kurdish government, who also dislike the PKK. And in Syria due to terrorists being right on the border.
I'm not sure what these horrific crimes against humanity are that you've mentioned? This is what any nation state would do in a dangerous region.
They are terrified of the idea of a strong, self-dependable Turkiye. All their actions against Turkiye is the a result of this fear for the future.

Projecting power to its region. Nothing surprising here.
This is coming from someone that is heavily opposes Erdogan and never voted Erdogan once: Turkey's military buildup didn't start with Erdogan being elected. Literally, military buildup was always a primary thing with our country. Also, i know people are mentioning the "Neo-Ottomanism" meme, however its not superficial like that in the end. And for people who are mentioning "economy", yes it sucks to have Inflation and its a failure of Erdogan himself and his bad administration, however, looking at things from outside of -Per Capita- GDP growth, Turkey isn't collapsing whatsoever and can obviously afford these military moves. It is of course should be always criticized that how amongst these things how Erdogan fails to provide prosperity to his own people.

I'm sorry but this is a little superficial. First of all, turks love their increasing political influence and it is not about the military presence. Neo-Ottomanism is only valid for politicians trying to get conservative votes. Turkey, usually being the facilitator or mediator between Eastern and Western Bloc, is just a good option for some countries which might be suffering from other foreign regimes. Since, Turks won't send Wagner to your country once you sign a defensive agreement, or try to overtrow your government. You also won't get an embargo from eastern or western countries because you get Turkish drones or mid-size tanks, like you would buying Chinese
Yea Neo-Ottomanism is just a get free vote from sheeps tingy since1950's. Nearly nobody who important cares about that anymore.

Why the US empire has military base in every country? Tell me not that is democracy
the US is not an empire, for sure in Nato country it is because there is a treaty, in Japan because the defeat of Japan...so maybe if you would see what did the US in your daily life maybe you would understand why they would not leave open ground to monkeys to destroy in 5 minutes what they build up.
why is it so hard to say "terrorists"" or "terrorism"?
They are "good" terrorists. They can't call bad guys what they are unless they became too obvious for public opinion.
Because they're sympathizers. In fact, they own them.
Al quida, isis, every organization that causes destabilization, is owned by America and Europe... oh and their fake state established in the 1940s
Maybe because there's no internationally recognized definition of what a "terrorist" is. I mean in some countries criticizing the government in anyway is considered terrorism.
@@catdogmousecheese There are agreements. UN, EU, US and many others recognize the PKK as a terrorist organization.
yep, israel is terrorrist.
"He achieves military success so that the people do not see inflation". Are you serious or do you not understand economics? War = spending. If the region was peaceful and suitable for trade, no one would have to spend on military. I really ask, what effect does the military presence have on municipal elections? The PKK terrorist organization earns its income from drugs and oil wells. Do you think that Syria, Iraq, these countries are happy with PKK and ISIS? You are telling it as if Turkiye has put pressure on it. Someone wants to establish a state in Iraq, of course Iraq does not want the PKK.
Sorry but which country was leading the top at millitary spending as amount of dolar with doubling the next one? US ? hmm may be ;)) So will people put forward the same argumente for these spendings? Hmmm, that may be for the second time :)) etc. etc. etc :))
"He achieves military success so that the people do not see inflation" by that line i think he meant it as a "way to play the audience" where the audience here is the public and he plays for the polls and glazes 100x every military related development such as drones etc, last year there was the important election for the erdogans position of presidency and just to keep the usd/try exchange in check he burned through around 10b usd which is a lot for turkey and since 2018 he burned more than 128b usd hence the current situation of the turkey central bank, its empty, all so he can steal more... Corruption in turkey is the worst in the world id say

West playing empiralism games for 3 centuries and no one says anything
Turkiye takes one step out of Turkiye: IS THIS NEO OTTOMANISM??????
Ridiculous, the ottoman empire was colonizing as well Africa and trade slaves
Are you trying to pretend the Turks weren't also playing imperialist games during those same 3 centuries? The Ottoman empire was an empire, an incompetent empire but an empire nonetheless.
That's because the West created London, Paris, Rome, NYC, while Turkeys turned Constantinople into Istanbullsh^t.
*Sahih Muslim Book 41 Nr 6959* “Allah's Messenger (May Peace Be Upon Him) said: *_'The Last Hour_* would not come until the Muslims fight the Turks - a people whose faces would be like hammered shields wearing clothes of hair and walking (with shoes) of hair...'”
Because west bought destruction AND progress with their conquests, other clumsy empires did not.
Let me put it out there that 150% increase in defense budget is due to inflation. Take it from me, it’s significantly higher than what is officially reported.
Wasn't the military budget already 40 billion USD or something? They already had issues with coup one time no? Is increasing military power a good idea?

the question is why U.S has military everywhere??? they dont even border 99% of the countries or have any history with them 😂
Why do you deliberately not show Nakchivan and Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan? Why do you disrespect the internationally recognized sovereign territory of Azerbaijan?
because internationally recognized only valid when a westerners support it, if westerners dont support it internationally recognized is ignored.
Because those lands are temporarily occupied by turkic fascists
@pierre8654
But Armenian fascists also stolen land during Soviet dissolvements that wasn't theirs just look at that land. It's not divided by the borders where everyone lives.🤦🏽♂️
@TazKidNoah Artsakh like nakhijevan was part of the first republic of armenia. Those borders were recognized by the league of nations. The ussr and turkey illegally invaded and destroyed the first republic and redrew the borders massacring hundreds of thousands Armenians in the process. America recignized the old borders till the 1960s when as a byproduct of nuclear proliferation talks it recognized the ussr borders. Nakhijevan and other places were ethnically cleansed in a way that would make even isis blush with hundreds of monasteries and churches bulldozed or blown up. According to many renowned legal experts from around the world Armenia could apply to the international court declaring itself the legal heir of the first republic and declaring lenin and stalin's arbitrarily drawn borders resulting of the invasion illegal. Russia snd turkey have prevented an application to the international court by threatening with violence. Russia and turkey also prevented a lasting peace deal in the 90s.
A better question and video would be:
Why Is US's Military Everywhere?
no that gets asked everyday, this is a nice change
Cause military industrial complex and wars have always fueled the economy especially after the civil war there look it up. The military industrial complex really ramped up after WW2 U.S. never should've gotten involved in that nonsense
As an American, I 100% agree with your question!! Greetings from NYC!
Haven’t you noticed?
It’s the World’s policeman.
Americans don’t want to be the worlds police, however the other options aren’t exactly great
IDK. You can ask the same questions for others. Turkiye has always been have presence abroad. Turkish military bases or contingents existed before Erdogan and their main tasks were to train and equip allies. They don't use such bases for launching strikes for other countries. Even today, their mission didn't change.
2:58 And WTF is PKK soldiers? When did they become a regular army? I swear these channels cannot be that ignorant and these are intentional "mistakes". These MFs are literally terrorists recognized by UN, EU and US, but this is not enough for allies to cease their relationship with them I guess. If there is one common thing such "mistakes" trying to impose is that they are trying to legitimize PKK like they are the representatives of "the Kurds". My Kurdish friends laugh with anger whenever they heard a news telling them these terrorists are Kurds. It is not simple and clear as media portrayed.
Exactly this channel is biased as heck
In general, nothing is as simple or clear as portrayed, or twisted and distorted by the media!
Both Kurdish militants and Kurdish soldiers was disgusting terms. I haven't heard this channel say Arab soldiers to ISIS or Al-Qaeda. he didn't say terrorists even once in the video

One word: Neo-Ottomanism
One word: your Mom
It’s a badass word.
But somewhat inaccurate. Because beyond just the ottomans, everyone in the Anatolia region throughout history has reached out.
Why Tf no one makes such a video complaining about USA ? CIA funded channels, no hope of any change. Western HYPOCRITES.
Not really. These word invented by Armenian/Greek diaspora to use in their anti-Turkish propaganda. No one wants a religious union like Ottoman Empire today, including Turks. This idea died when fellow Muslim Arabs betrayed the Ottomans in WW1. Turkiye instead looking for more like a Turkic union with fellow Turkic countries and republics nowadays.
Yeah, those countries more-or-less reminded me of a certain shape ^^
Why is US and france everywhere?
I think the real question to be asked here is: What does America aim to do by establishing bases or amassing soldiers in places thousands of kilometers away from itself?
People need to realize Turkey isn’t an isolationist country anymore. Of course they’re gonna exert their influence. What do you expect? People here calling for ‘neo-ottoman’ (lmao) stuff are so ignorant😂 if anything, we live in a neo-imperialist world ruled by america. Also, ‘kurdish militants’? You do realize they’re fighting internationally recognized terrorists right?
Turkey should do everything it sees fit to stabilize the region, as an unstable region will hinder Turkey's progress to become more rich and powerful. Which the west doesn't want Turkey to become

Increase in budget is less impressive when you remember that inflation exists. Adjusted for inflation, Turkish military budget is either flat or even slightly down, I believe.
Defense budget was calculated in US dollars
It is not in Liras, it is in USD and has gone up exponentially and yes Turkey can actually afford it with its 1.21 trillion dollar economy.

Good turkey welcome somali I love you turkey alle isalamic leaders ordogan
This is a wrong reading of the politics. Turkey is a large country (90 mil population) with significant economic powerhouse in the region. Also western bloc never really admitted it as a equal partner in global matters. Thats why Turkey has to extend its muscle and it has the ability to do so. Its nothng to do with neo ottomansm or akp. It is just historic overlap.
It’s a good thing you didn’t put one of those Brilliant learning service ads on this one because talking about an 150% increase without giving a baseline as to whether it is in terms of Lira, Dollars, or as a percentage of GDP would be embarrassing for them to be associated with.
Turkiye's military is "everywhere"?
Not America's and UK's military who together have over 1000 bases around the world?
Because some of these countries are our historical backyards and some are just parts of our homeland occupied since last 100 years.

hearing the word "pkk soldiers" to describe a terrorist group alone tells all you need to know about this bullsh*t video and how this channel operates..
They have absolutely no idea about things. Many of them knows PKK as "the Kurds" thanks to their sh***y media.
Turkey has built a DRONE CARRIER named TCG ANADOLU to reign over the seas in Mediterranean, Red Sea etc.. And an aircraft carrier is in planning.
Minsinfored ignoramus ladies and gents. Said carrier has been PURCHASED from Spain. Not built by those Chaos worshippers.
I am eager to see Turkey's economy be run into the ground with these moves. Seems like you have not an inkling of how much these carriers cost to make, operate and maintain afterwards. Guess the peasants are gonna starve to death, lmao.
And if you think the West is gonna let this joke of a carrier cruise around international waters freely, oh boy you're in for a rude awakening.

@@ektekp Yeah, that one. They are being fed with ultranationalistic propaganda every day so for them, it's natural to twist the facts in order to seem more important and potent than what they really are.

"You're funny, but your analysis seems to be entirely based on biased research. Let me tell you something, as our ancestor Hun Emperor Attila once said: 'If you have problems at your borders, the only solution is to expand them.' We have issues at our southern borders, and we'll follow our ancestor's path to solve them by expanding our borders. And you Westerners, no matter what you do, won't be able to stop us. Our cause is divine, it's about being servants of Allah and spreading His order throughout the world.
While Westerners think they can harm us by unleashing unknown terrorist organizations like PKK and YPG, what they don't know is that we now have the best army in the world operationally. And if we talk about Africa, Somalia isn't a colony for us, it's our brother. Look at the colonialism and massacres Westerners have committed in Africa and around the world; what we've done is just a small fraction.
You mentioned 'neo-Ottoman,' but no, we'll establish something even stronger than the Ottoman Empire. Don't worry, wherever we step in, there will only be peace and prosperity. Yes, we're going through an economic crisis right now, but it's making our nation stronger. While you weaken, we strengthen.
