The second more

Adhering to the principle of creating trouble at the United Nations meeting, the most speechless scene occurred at this year's United Nations General Assembly, when Turkey put forward a proposal to abolish the veto power of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and also tried to pull a group of Asian, African and Latin American countries to support them. Then this proposal was rejected by the representatives of the USSR with one vote. And the other deputies who watched Turkey jump up and down like a clown had only one thought in their hearts, is the leadership of this country mentally retarded?

However, Turkish President Demirel does not care about being scolded for being mentally retarded, because he thinks that as long as he hugs the golden thigh of the United States, nothing will happen. It's just that Turkey is still dreaming of reviving the great Ottoman Sultan, and the United States, which only wants to have a strategic balance with the Soviet Union, can't tolerate Turkey's death, and in Mario's heart, Turkey has long been a dispensable outcast, and he only needs to wait for the Soviets to make a deal with them to betray Turkey.

However, Turkey's death was not over, and shortly after the Security Council incident, Turkish President Demirel proposed to create an incident in the Turkish Straits and prohibit the passage of Soviet military ships. At the same time, Demirel made a statement with a very strong attitude, "As long as the Soviet Union exists for a day, Turkey's resistance will not stop, and we will never bow to the tyranny of Tsarist Russia." ”

While the Turkish president was calling on the stage alone, Yanayev met with Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, a veteran ally of the Soviet Union who still held the power of a state. Almost immediately after receiving Yanayev's invitation, Assad left for Moscow from Damascus.

There was only one issue for Yanayev's meeting with Assad, and that was about the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Apdullah Ocalan. The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a country that has been engaged in armed conflict with the Turkish government for more than a decade, has naturally become the target of Syria's co-optation. There has always been friction and discord between Turkey and Syria, so it's only natural that savvy politicians like Assad will co-opt guys like Ocalan against the Turkish government.

Before leaving Syria, Assad told his cronies, "The Soviet Union generally doesn't care about the Kurdistan Workers' Party." After all, this is just a small fight between the two countries in the Middle East. If Öcalan alarmed Moscow, there is only one possibility, and recently political frictions between Ankara and Moscow are gradually heating up. ”

"This kind of thing is naturally a good thing for us in Syria." Assad sat in the window seat, looked at the white clouds outside, and said to himself, "Once there is friction between the Soviet Union and Turkey." Then, as an ally of the Soviet Union, Turkey's enemies will naturally support us, as well as the Kurdistan Workers' Party, and at least we will get a lot of military aid on this trip to Moscow. ”

Assad's instincts were so accurate that as soon as he arrived in Moscow and was summoned to the White House, Yanayev seemed unable to wait for a moment for Turkey's dangerous neighbor.

As soon as Assad entered the door, Yanayev immediately beckoned him to sit down. He skipped the polite greetings and greetings. "President Assad, as you can see, Turkey has been politically chaotic with other countries recently. From shooting down Soviet fighter jets, to the farce at the UN General Assembly, and even the recent threat that the Soviet Union would blockade our Black Sea Fleet, this is not the rhythm of trying to stabilize the situation in the Middle East. ”

"Demirel is still the same as he was at the beginning, and it is no wonder that he was ousted by a military coup in 1980 and dissolved parliament." Assad scoffed. "Like his stupid policy, there is no hope for Turkey under this philistine."

"So say hello to Mr. Ocalan on my behalf. He expressed deep sympathy for the suffering of the Kurds in eastern Turkey with the Soviet Union, and hoped that the Kurds would be strong and work together against the Turkish government. "Yanayev's words have already made it very clear that he is willing to support the Kurdish forces to cause trouble for Turkey's homeland security.

"Just like the GRU's actions on the Syrian-Turkish border?" Assad asked curiously, also surprised when he learned about the plans of the Soviet government to directly attack the Turkish border guards. This kind of retaliation can be said to be extremely arrogant, and it is only a few crazy leaders like Yanayev who dare to approve such a plan.

"No, the GRU's actions on the Turkish border are just petty fights, and the PKK, with more than 10,000 guerrilla members, is enough to create a few horrific and bloody clashes in Turkey." Yanayev said.

"Now the USSR has a batch of arms in its hands that can provide assistance to the PKK. The leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Öcalan, is said to have very good relations with Syria, so the Soviets hope to be able to contact Ocalan through President Assad and deliver the arms to them. ”

Because the Kurdish Workers' Armed Forces are a form of guerrilla warfare, the vast majority of what Yanayev offers is nothing more than guns and ammunition, as well as a small number of mortars and RPGs.

The Soviet Union was reluctant to come forward to play this villain, so Syria, which has a grudge against Turkey, happened to have the same interests and could stand up to be this villain. The Soviet Union would not do what was going to happen, at least Turkey had no reason to do it.

"Naturally, we will not forget our ally, Syria." Yanayev said with a friendly smile, "The Soviet Union has been dismantling its armored forces and upgrading its equipment for the past two years. After the dismantling of a batch of armored units, the remaining T72 tanks are just ready to be sold at a low price, I wonder if the Syrian army has any intention to purchase them? Although they are second-hand tanks, we can guarantee that these tanks have not undergone much refurbishment. ”

Selling at a low price is just an excuse, and Yanayev likes to label military aid as trade so that Western countries can't hold on to it. Moreover, Syria is also a staunch ally of the Soviet Union, so Yanayev spent a lot of energy on the relations between the Soviet Union and Syria, and even did not hesitate to sell the original weapons to Syria, which was the envy of the Indian third brother who had been buying the monkey version of the T72.

"Of course I'm interested." Hearing Yanayev's answer, Assad's eyes lit up, at present, the Syrian army still has a large number of Soviet-made T55 tanks that are about to be eliminated, and the matter of replacing the T72 is imminent, and Yanayev's T72 sold at a low price is just used to alleviate the urgent need.

Taking the benefits of the USSR, Assad naturally wanted to help Yanayev do something. He promised the Soviet General Secretary to help him contact Ocalan and transfer the arms to the other side. Assad's trip to Moscow can be described as a trip to Moscow that came empty-handed, and he got the long-coveted military armament for his PKK, and he also profited enormously from it.

At the same time as the arms arrived in Damascus, they were secretly transferred to the Syrian border city of Kobani. There Ocalan will receive gifts from the Soviet Union. Brand new, untorn Kalashnikov rifles with not even oil paper torn were taken out of the wooden box, as well as a small number of Dragonov sniper rifles equipped with scopes. The 107 rocket launcher, which was an artifact of guerrilla warfare, also appeared on the Kurdish arms list, and the generosity of the Soviet Union greatly excited Ocalan.

Not to mention the guerrilla war with the government forces in eastern Turkey, this batch of arms is more than enough to seize even a town. This batch of arms greatly strengthened the military strength of the Kurds, and also gave them the idea of being more dangerous for Turkey from the depths of their hearts, but it is also the glory of every Kurd.

Ocalan wants to restore Kurdistan and make the ethnic autonomous region an independent Kurdish state. Since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, this idea has taken root in everyone's mind, and it is not something that can be erased by Turkey's policy of assimilation of the "mountain Turks".

Turkey will then pay for its own stupidity and truly realize how terrible it is for the Soviet Union to mess itself up with just a few moves. (To be continued.) )
