Russian Embargo Hurting Fethiye - and it Hasn't Even Started Yet
« on: December 02, 2015, 19:30:33 PM »
Fethiye fruit & veg producers report great hardship due to the Russian/Turkish situation - even though the embargo doesn't come into play until January.

"Regional industries are losing as much as TL 1 million per day, said Fethiye Fruit and Vegetable Brokers Association President Atabey Akgün. Prior to the crisis, 30 trucks were departing from Fethiye every day for Russia, but the halting of trucks at the boarder has resulted in great losses."

This is just the start - how awful for the farmers and local economy, over a battle of idiot egos.

Agree wholeheartedly, Scunner.

Rare, it seems, that you and I find common ground.

This is "my d***s bigger than yours" nonsense.

The little guy gets hurt.

So wrong....

Battle of the ego emperors it maybe, but perhaps before we start throwing sympathy in the direction of the Turkish losers, like Fruit and Veg merchants and growers or hotel/tourist owners and employees, we should ask how many of them voted for the AKP in the recent election... at least 1 in every 2 adults I'd suggest!!

The sky is starting to darken with chickens coming home to roost  .... too late now for large number of the Turkish people to start complaining about their lot in Turkey and in the wider world, methinks.

Do you think the Russian plane wouldn't have been shot down if there was a different party in government?

I absolutely do .... The Turkish military did not just make a decision to shoot the plane down in the minutes before it was shot down, because Reg had already given his authority/instruction to shoot the next Ruski plane out of the sky that got near/in the direction of/ or even into Turkish airspace.  And only that power crazy religious zealot, out to build the new Ottoman Empire starting in Syria, bolstered by the General Election result would be religiously charged and/or mad and/or stupid and/or power crazed enough to shoot down that plane.  He must see some advantage in it, but not for the people of Turkey, only for for himself.

Maybe so. I doubt a Fethiye tomato farm worker would consider that as part of their election evaluations.

  They may well do come the next election. The more I read about ISIL, oil sales and resales, the Sultan,
  his family,their shipping companies, oil transporting, Russia's decision to spill the beans on it all, the more
  I think the Sultan will face some big problems soon.He can't be too popular in his own party, just tolerated
  out of fear.I think Russia were / are shutting down his oil supply so he decided to stop them.

If all that is true, maybe they deliberately got one of their planes to encroach to provoke all this plan into action?

  Time may tell. The one thing for sure is the average Turk is in for hard times.   :(
