>ISTANBUL (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan was quoted on Sunday as saying that Turkey did not need to join the European Union "at all costs" and could instead become part of a security bloc dominated by China, Russia and Central Asian nations.
> "Turkey must feel at ease. It mustn't say 'for me it's the European Union at all costs'. That's my view," Erdogan was quoted by the Hurriyet newspaper as telling reporters on his plane on the way back from a visit to Pakistan and Uzbekistan. "Why shouldn't Turkey be in the Shanghai Five? I said this to (Russian President) Mr Putin, to (Kazakh President) Nazarbayev, to those who are in the Shanghai Five now," he said. "I hope that if there is a positive development there, I think if Turkey were to join the Shanghai Five, it will enable it to act with much greater ease."

Turkey atm is like a bitch who thinks she deserves way better and waits until she is old and busted. Only then she realizes that she never was that desireable to begin with.
Jordan Gray

Levi Bailey
Because American high school education is shit. We still have the very best Universities.
But your education isn't as great as you might have hoped. Asian education is a joke of route memorization.
Adrian Adams

Roaches sure know their geography

Turkey is part of EU customs regulations. Kind of free market for Europe countries. We can import from China instead of Europe. Despite our dictatorship and other internal conflicts we economically do much better than many Europe countries.
You hate Muslims also hypocrisy. Erdogan was your guy. Refugees, immigrants, islamic terrorism direct results of war your libtards government fuelled. You guys are just paying the price.
We should have sided with east instead of west decades ago.
Owen Morgan
>>we're out you are not though

He needs to be killed ASAP.

Noah Cooper
>Turkey and China allies topkek
The Chinese are too selfish to have any real allies. They literally let one of their 2 allies - the Norks - have a famine in the 90s. Their other ally is shithole failed state Pakistan that they foolishly and illegally sold nuclear weapons to. Thanks China, you fucking greedy idiots.
It's true that the US is prepared to let Turkey get away with a lot. Probably due to the missiles we station there. But they need to learn that there is only so far they can push their luck.
China won't trust Turkey, though. Neither the commies nor the Chinese are disposed to trusting people in the first place and once you add the weird links between the Turkish state and Xinjiang separatists in to the mix, the best you can get is some hollow posing for the cameras and joint declarations "against hegemony seeking" or whatever.
