Linda Lusardi had a cracking beaver!

’I cannot allow myself to invest in a country which has gone to war, to occupy and to ethnically cleanse the Kurdish people as we have been seeing over the past few days. I find Turkey's actions disgusting and i want no part in supporting their economy.’

I think the war is as old as Turkey itself to be honest.

Turkey have been bombing raids by jet on the quiet for years.

The response was the PKK

Well Matnosoup has not been on here jesting these developments, which is interesting!

Where are you matnosoup?

"I also read that Iranian banks no longer have access to the SWIFT system because of sanctions, which restricts international money transfers. "

They have it covered.

"I just hope that this all ends with the downfall of Erdogan and the AKP and some normality returns to Turkey."

The Americans want to place their man Fetullah Gullen in charge of Turkey.

It was the Russians who saved Erdogan from the Coup and gave him the nod before it happened. I just happened to be in Ankara when it happened, Fighter Jets doing low raids on the Parliament and SAMS going off. Then Erdogan came on the TV via Skype telling the Turkish people to take to the streets and that put an end to the coup. Couldnt get my flight back the following day and burnt out cars at the airport. Mind you the coup in 1980 was interesing but a different flavour, but I digress.

Have you read John Perkins and Economic Hitmen?

Ive mentioned on here before Turkey buying those Russian Defence Systems was a strong signal, its could take 12 to 24 months for the response to that unfold.

On a separate note I remember talking to some Turk who had an ancestor or relative who worked in Mosul and they considered that should be a part of Turkey still (ottoman empire) and they have oil fields if Im not mistaken?

There is an Arab Spring due in Turkey maybe, Easter 2020 is squeaky bum time?

Mind you the Turkish military is strong just like the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Erdogan has purged out all his none supporters after the 2016 coup, how useful was that?

Besides which how many Russians holiday in Turkey compared to Americans? Maybe Turkey will leave NATO, not join the eu and fall in line with Russia but will this result on them losing out to the export market to the eu?

It really is squeaky bum time, I wonder if we get good news this side of Christmas?

So far my spanish goes extends to booking rooms in a hotel and ordering a meal, I always make sure I have a chorizo soup starter in class role play.

It will be difficult to get Turkey to apologise because they refuse to admit it ever happened.
Hrat Dink was looking for reconcilation but got murdered.

As for the Kurds I remember seeing a Kurdish politican in the Turkish Politican telling them to go back to Mongolia and return to playing with their horses and growing grass and this was their ancestral homelands.

In some quarters they do say Istanbul, Izmir and the West is a part of Greece. There are sporadic skirmishes over little out crops of rock and who owns it between the two counteries.

From Anatolia to the East belongs to Armenia and the rest is Kurdistan.

Mind you they do say Ataturk the Father of Turkey was donmeh.

Like Ive stated Turkey is a geopolitical powder keg.

As for England being America's 51st state and puppet, just look at bliar and all the unforgivable behaviour that man got upto so we went to war in iraq, all at the behest of bush no doubt!

“I would advise you that I have links to the Armenian diaspora over here “

Is that some sort of threat?

Perhaps this foray into Syria and obliteration of the Kurds is a reason?

"Perhaps it would have been preferable if Cameron had not implemented such a choice. History will record a judgement on it in the fullness of time. "

If you remember in 2014 Cameron had won the Scottish independence referendum and kept the UK together so in a run up to the 2015 general election he probably thought he would win an eu referendum. Also had he not offered a referendum the tory party would have been obliterated in the 2015 election, had that not been in their manifesto they they would not have got the majority they did.

History will judge that originally going into the eec was the wrong side of history. De Gaulle got it right when he kept veto'ing our application. We do not belong and we do not fit, its not for us!

As for that article you posted as soon as I saw it was the Guardian I felt vomit in my mouth. So just for you I read it, and its a sentiment that is being banged around. That Brexit is a hostile tory takeover and the people have been conned. Its a propaganda piece that is appearing in many places and created by some pro eu remain spin doctor like alastair campbell, who I note is rarely on our tv screens anymore because every time he does he actually makes the leave side stronger.

As for the eu their ecb bank is a disaster, like all central banks prints money out of fresh air, the German economy is a teetering and deutsche bank have just laid off more workers.

Car manufacturing is continuing its trend and moving out of the eu to Turkey.

Having flown on Turkish Airlines many times they have a free inflight magazine called Turkish Perspective, you can read it online to.

Turkey will remain an independent soveriegn nation and just watch it grow, trading into the EU as well.

As for England it needs to go to sleep for 25 years, the population of the uk needs reducing to below 50 million. Brexit will be good for us in the long term, let the ship sink a little and those who want to get off can go!

Id say that wretched Benn act and the remainer MPs are the problem, for them we would be leaving on oct 31st on wto rules.

You don’t want a deal, - no deal is better than a bad deal and the deal is technically remaining and not full withdrawal

you don’t want an extension, - no we do not we want to leave the extension is costing us how much per month?

you don’t want to revoke, - the other parties turned down a general election where if they had won brexit would have been anulled!

For it was Cameron himself who said Article 50 would be triggered if leave won the referendum and if no agreement was made withing the two years of negotiating then we would revert to wto rules. To keep on extending article 50 is unacceptable and is quite revealing as I suspect the eu will collapse quite quickly. Yellow vests protests carry on in France, unrest in Italy and the German economy blowing off steam.

As for USA De Gaulle had their cards marked in the 60s and their exhorbitant privledge, then Nixon moved off the gold standard and the petro dollar took over. There either has to be a debt jubilee or major crash in the dollar, its due.

Well it's my third class tonight,

hasta pronto amigo

I think this one is going to be a long term slow grower rather than a sol gold or a similar story to what happened at Mariana Resources. I was hoping AAU was going to read like Mariana but it is on a different trajectory.

Im now in the process of moving these shares over into my SIPP and quite happy to hold for decades in that and take a long term horizon approach.

Im also in GGP and a small allocation in ECR maybe those will give me the dopamine money shot hit we all look for.

If you check back over my posts I have had concerns as Turkey is a very geopolitical region in the world and Erdogan seems not to pick and choose his fights wisely, nor backs down from one, both domestically and internationally.

"Mark Potter does not hold any shares in the Company. Metal Tiger plc, of which Mark Potter is a Director and Chief Investment Officer, holds 74,050,000 Thor Ordinary Shares of 0.01p each, representing 9.01 per cent o f the Company’s Total Voting Rights"

I wonder if Sprott are interested in THR?

To be fair we need to know how this guy has been progressing since his appointment, it would seem it is his job to sort out the finance and investment.

2. Kiziltepe - Have Forestry permits been received to facilitate mining at Arzu North & Derya? Can we expect the new Resource/Reserve statement before Xmas and consequently an all important extended Life of Mine?

I think after some of the protests at other mines about deforestation and leaching, the government will be a lot more cautious in delivering these permits.

Berkley Energia, a uranium mine in Spain, has gone down the drain over the issuing of permits. Different circumstances I know but problems can arise from unexpected places.

Maybe a question on how Ariana would handle any people protests and how socially concious are they?

There will be a change in attitude once ev cars are on the road and all these nuclear plants come online around the world. All these selfish old people will no longer be relevant and it will be yes to the mine.

Just like here in 1979 and 2010 socialist governments were given their marching orders, hopefully it will be the same in Spain to and a mining friendly government is voted in.

Patience and timing is key, how many uranium mines are there in the eu?

At some point they are going to have to do a strategic assessment of future green carbon neutral energy.

Get it signed.
