  • The US administration agreed in principle almost two months ago for the transfer of information over software source codes of US Lockheed Martin-made F-16 fighters to Turkey.
    Once the agreement is completed, and if approved by the US Congress, Turkey will have the capability to automatically modify the software source codes of the fighters’ weapons systems with national software source codes, said US sources who asked not to be named.Turkey will become the first nation among 26 to have the F-16s in their inventories and have the ability to receive information on the F-16 fighters’ software source codes — primarily their weapons systems — thereby enabling it to replace them with national software source codes whenever necessary.
    Once Turkey and the US complete around 50 pages of technical details over the nature of the US transfer of technology, an agreement should be signed, pending US congressional approval.
    The US Congress has long prevented arms transfers to NATO member Turkey, mainly in reaction to its strained ties with Israel.
    However, the US administration has as of late sought US congressional authorization for the sale of three AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopters to Turkey. This indicates a softening on the part of the congress toward Turkey.
    Turkey has a long-standing request for Super Cobras. It has a shortage of these helicopters, required in its ongoing fight against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists, who have increased their violent attacks as of late.
    Meanwhile, it is not clear whether the US administration will seek US congressional authorization for another long-standing Turkish request for the sale of four Predator unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and two armed Reaper UAVs.
    However, some of the weapons, including Predators that the US reportedly pledged to transfer to Turkey as it withdraws from Iraq in December of this year, are said to not be subject to the approval of the US Congress. These are weapons the US used during its war in Iraq.

    US sources stated that Washington has agreed in principle to transfer the information mainly concerning the weapon systems of the F-16s so that Turkey can integrate by itself the national software source codes because Turkey has pursued a very persistent policy on the matter.
    However, Turkey’s approval to deploy a radar system of the US-supported NATO Missile Defense System on its soil is understood to have played an important role in Washington’s agreement to in principle transfer the software source codes of mainly the weapons systems of the F-16s to Turkey. Turkey agreed last month to host a powerful US-supplied radar system to act as advanced eyes for a layered shield against ballistic missiles coming from outside Europe.
    The AN/TPY-2 surveillance radar in Turkey will boost the shield’s capability against Iran, which Washington alleges is seeking to build nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
    “By agreeing to transfer information on F-16 weapon systems so that Turkey could automatically integrate them with national software source codes, the US sought to ease tensions with its NATO ally, which is important in safeguarding US interests in the Middle East. The US also puts strong emphasis on seeing Turkish-Israeli relations normalize,” said the US source.

    50 weapons systems on each F-16

    Lockheed Martin this year began supplying Turkey with 14 F-16C variants and 16 F-16Ds under a deal signed in May 2007. The total cost of 30 additional F-16s to Turkey is $1.78 billion.
    Under a separate agreement signed in April 2005 between Turkey and the US, 213 Turkish F-16s are being upgraded at a cost of $1.1 billion at the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in Ankara. Turkey will be able to change the software source codes of the weapons systems on a total of 204 F-16s with national software source codes if a final agreement is reached with the US.
    There are 50 different types of weapons systems on each F-16 that are classified.

  • Perdana Menteri Turki Recep Tayyip Erdogan menuding rezim Zionis Israel melakukan terorisme negara dan bersikeras bahwa Tel Aviv adalah ancaman regional, karena memiliki senjata nuklir.
    "Saya sekarang melihat Israel sebagai ancaman bagi kawasan, karena memiliki bom atom," kata Erdogan seperti dikutip kantor berita Anatolia. Dia membuat pernyataan selama kunjungan resmi ke Afrika Selatan pada hari Rabu (5/10).
    Bulan lalu, PM Turki mengatakan, praktik standar ganda Barat berhubungan dengan senjata nuklir Israel.
    Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan CNN, Erdogan mencatat bahwa Israel adalah satu-satunya pemilik senjata nuklir di Timur Tengah dan bertanya, "Mengapa negara-negara lain melarang Iran mengembangkan teknologi nuklir, tapi membiarkan Israel memproduksi senjata nuklir?"
    Israel, dilaporkan menyimpan sekitar 200 hulu ledak nuklir dan secara luas diyakini sebagai satu-satunya entitas di Timur Tengah yang memiliki senjata nuklir.
    Hubungan antara Ankara dan Tel Aviv menegang atas serangan Israel terhadap aktivis pro-Palestina pada tahun 2010.
    Israel menolak untuk meminta maaf atas insiden itu, mendorong Ankara untuk mengusir duta besar Israel dan memutus semua hubungan militer bilateral dengan Tel Aviv.

    Perdana Menteri Turki Recep Tayyip Erdogan mengecam standar ganda Barat terhadap senjata nuklir Israel.Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan CNN pada hari Minggu, Erdogan mencatat bahwa Israel adalah satu-satunya pemain di Timur Tengah yang memiliki senjata nuklir. "Mengapa negara-negara Barat melarang Iran memiliki senjata nuklir, namun pada saat yang sama tidak  melarang Israel memiliki senjata nuklir? "tanya Erdogan sinis menyikapi standar ganda Barat soal senjata nuklir.
    Sebelumnya, Erdogan menyatakan, Ankara, jika diperlukan, akan memberikan reaksi lebih keras terhadap Rezim Zionis Israel.
    "Turki  akan menunjukkan reaksi lebih keras terhadap Israel," ungkap Erdogan Kamis (22/9) seperti dilaporkan Press TV. Ia juga mengisyaratkan meningkatnya ketegangan antara Israel dan Turki pasca serangan brutal pasukan komando rezim Tel Aviv terhadap kapal bantuan kemanusiaan bagi warga Gaza yang mengakibatkan tewasnya sembilan aktivis Turki.
    Turki menurunkan hubungan dengan Israel setelah Tel Aviv menolak untuk meminta maaf atas serangan terhadap armada Kebebasan Gaza, yang menyebabkan sembilan warga Turki tewas pada tanggal 31 Mei 2010.
    Sebelumnya pada bulan September, Menteri Ekonomi Turki mengatakan Ankara akan terus menjaga hubungan normalnya di bidang ekonomi dengan Tel Aviv. Dari Januari 2011 sampai Juli 2011, perdagangan antara Turki dan Israel mencapai $ 2,3 miliar. (IRIB/PH)

    Turkey and the United States signed on Wednesday a memorandum on the deployment of a U.S. radar on Turkish territory as part of a "missile shield" to protect NATO allies from potential ballistic missile threats.
    An X-band AN/TPY-2 radar, which is part of the THAAD system designed to intercept medium-range missiles at very high altitudes, will be deployed at a military base in the eastern province of Malatya.
    Ankara and Washington say the radar will help provide early warning of missile threats coming from outside Europe. The system is expected to become operational by the end of this year.
    According to Turkish media, the radar will be operated from a NATO control center in Germany, but the allies will share data with Turkey.
    NATO members agreed to install a missile shield over Europe to protect against ballistic missiles launched by so-called "rogue states" at a summit in Lisbon, Portugal, last year.
    An agreement not to pinpoint Iran was reached with Turkey, which had threatened to block the deal if its neighbor was explicitly named as a threat.

  • Seiring memanasnya hubungan antara Ankara dan Tel Aviv, sebuah koran cetakan Turki mengabarkan pengerahan tiga kapal perang Turki ke timur Laut Mediterania.
    Koran Sabah, Senin (12/9) dalam situsnya menulis, tiga kapal perang Turki akan dikerahkan ke timur Laut Mediterania untuk mengambil strategi baru menghadapi rezim Zionis Israel.
    Pengiriman kapal-kapal perang itu sejalan dengan kebijakan pemerintah Ankara untuk menciptakan keamanan laut di timur Mediterania dan mengawal kapal-kapal bantuan kemanusiaan untuk Jalur Gaza.
    "Jika Israel menggelar operasi terhadap kapal sipil di luar 12 mil garis pantai di Laut Mediterania dan perairan internasional, maka kapal-kapal perang Turki akan bertindak untuk memberi perlindungan," tambah harian tersebut.
    Hubungan antara Turki dan Israel, dua sekutu dekat AS di kawasan, telah memburuk sejak pasukan komando Israel naik ke kapal Mavi Marmara pada Mei 2010. (IRIB/RM)

    An early warning radar system will be deployed in Turkey within the NATO missile defense program, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal said on Friday.
    "The deployment of this [missile defense] element in Turkey will constitute our contribution to the defense system being developed within the new NATO [defense] strategy and will strengthen the defense potential of NATO as well as our national defense system," Unal said.
    Talks on the radar deployment are in their final stage, he added.
    Local media reported that the radar is planned to be installed in the country's southeast.
    Russia and NATO agreed at a Russia-NATO summit in Lisbon in November 2010 to work together on the missile shield but NATO wants it to be based on two independent systems that exchange information, while Russia favors a joint system with full-scale interoperability.
    In June, Russia's envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said the United States was already deploying its missile defense system in Europe without waiting for an agreement with Russia.
    Russia has retained staunch opposition to the planned deployment of U.S. missile defense systems near its borders, claiming they would be a security threat. The United States insists that the shield would defend NATO members against missiles from North Korea and Iran, but Moscow demands legally binding guarantees that the NATO missile defense systems will not be directed against it.

  • Para pejabat militer rezim Zionis memperingatkan keputusan Turki mengirim pasukan maritimnya guna mendukung kapal-kapal bantuan ke Jalur Gaza.Pusat informasi Palestina melaporkan, para panglima militer Zionis Israel setelah berdialog dengan Menteri Peperangan Zionis Israel, Ehud Barak, mengatakan, "Jika pemerintah Turki merealisasikan ancamannya dan mengirim pasukan angkatan laut ke dekat pantai Israel maka Ankara akan menerima konsekuensi yang berat."
    Menlu Turki, Ahmet Davutoglu Jumat (2/9/) mengusir Dubes Israel dari Ankara, setelah publikasi laporan komite investigasi PBB yang membela penyerangan tentara Israel terhadap kapal Mavi Marmara. Turki juga membekukan semua kesepakatan militer dengan rezim Zionis dan menyatakan bahwa Ankara akan mengambil langkah-langkah yang dinilai perlu guna menjaga keamanan pelayaran di timur Mediterania.
    Tim penyidik PBB yang dipimpin Jeffrey Palmer, membenarkan serangan militer Israel terhadap kapal Mavi Marmara. Tim itu menyatakan bahwa kapal Marmara (Freedom Flotilla) telah melakukan tindakan ilegal dengan memasuki wilayah Palestina yang diblokade Israel.
    Tel Aviv mengitensifkan blokade di Jalur Gaza sejak tahun 2007. Komando pasukan Zionis Isreal pada tanggal 31 Mei 2010 menyerang konvoi kapal bantuan ke Jalur Gaza di perairan internasional. Akibatnya, sembilan warga Turki tewas.
