Talk:Turkey–United States relations

Changed title
Changed from Turkey-United States relations to Turkish-American relations. I've never come across usage of the former term in describing relations between the two nations. The latter also gives far more google counts. --A.Garnet 19:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Obama Armenian Genocide Turkish Politics and the Issue of the Kurds
The Section seems to be a good explanation of the current situation but perhaps issues such as the Azeri-Turk Embargo on Armenia and Obamas attempt to to find a solution acceptable to all parties. I understand that the issue of the Karabakh has only added to the complexity. As Turkey is the leader of the Turkic world (or has that desire) and of the Muslim world spoke in defense of the Uyghur minority after hundreds were killed and Prime Minister Erdogan said the incident was "like genocide" causing some to say those in glass house should no throw stones although   Uyghur violence was documented very well. In the end I think maybe Americans do not understand Armenian-Turk Relation and Isteyenin Bir Yüzü Kara Vermeyen the Turkish News Anchor in black face no understanding of race relations and feels turks are not treated well by America. the. Turks not allowing US troops through Turkey along with Turkish troops to kill the PKK terrorists the outcome was that Americans turn to the Kurds and find a ally more then happy to help. Kurds became the one group in Iraq that helps America and as a result American and Kurdish relations as they effect Turkey maybe of great importance to bilateral relations.74.67.177.37 (talk) 20:52, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Early Relationship
U.S. Jupiter Nuclear Missiles stationed at U.S. Ally Turkey (15 sites near Izmir) to target the U.S.S.R., after the U.S. Navy lost an Argument about the Nuclear Triad of the U.S. Air Force ICBMs, U.S. Air Force Bombers, and the U.S. Navy's Ballistic Missile Submarines. The Stationing of the U.S. Jupiter Missiles at U.S. Ally Turkey and U.S. Ally Italy became the U.S.S.R. Justification to send U.S.S.R. Ballistic Missiles to Cuba, as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Later on the U.S. Jupiter Ballistic Missiles were removed, and the U.S. Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Europe were created and stationed with Pershing 1 IRBMs at Europe (mostly at the Federal Republic of West Germany).Nakamuradavid (talk) 16:20, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

CYPRUS SECTION
Please revert USA-Turkey relations to the previous versions when section about Cyprus was included. That part which has now been erased talked about how Turkish-American relations became tensed with the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 (Worldglobal (talk) 23:41, 7 January 2011 (UTC))

During the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus, the U.S. Ally Turkish Military actually went to the U.S. Army Nuclear Weapons Storage at Erzurum (actually far from the City and U.S.A.F. Erzurum) and under the threat of Turkish Military Force demanded that the U.S. Army Nuclear weapons Storage Facility (Detachment) turn over the U.S. Nuclear Weapons (Artillery Projectiles) to the Turkish Military. A U.S. Army Officer (Detachment Commander, U.S. Army Ordnance Corps, 75C), First Lieutenant (O-2 Promotable), and a Chief Warrant Officer 3 (Nuclear Weapons Maintenance Technician, 260A), told the Commanding Officer of the Turkish Military, that all the U.S. Nuclear Weapons would be destroyed by "Emergency Destruction" if the Turkish Military attempted to take the (U.S.) Nuclear Weapons. This "Incident" was reported by Greek News Journalists living at the City of Erzurum that followed the Turkish Military Columns that went past the City of Erzurum, the Greek News Journalists were arrested as "Spies" and later exchanged for the Turkish News Journalists living at Cyprus that were held as "Spies" by the Greeks, U.S. Ally Turkey and the U.S. Censored the News Reports at U.S. Ally Turkey and the U.S., while the Anti U.S. U.S. Ally Greek Government (demanding the removal of all U.S. Nuclear Weapons from U.S. Ally Greece) printed the Reports. U.S. Ally Federal Republic of Germany's News Reporters found out and printed the News Reports also, under repeated protests from the U.S. Government and U.S. Ally Turkey's Government.
