Turkey warns US of 'major catastrophe' if Trump moves embassy
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/12/17 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 12/04/2017 7:24:33 AM PST by Eleutheria5

The Turkish government has warned the US that it could spark a “major catastrophe” if President Trump follows through on his 2016 campaign promise to relocate the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

The warning was made Monday during a press conference held by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag.

During the televised statement, Bozdag warned the US against either relocating its embassy or even recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, claiming that any change in the status quo could cause a “catastrophe”.

"If the status of Jerusalem is changed and another step is taken... that would be a major catastrophe.”

"It would completely destroy the fragile peace process in the region, and lead to new conflicts, new disputes and new unrest."

Bozdag also claimed that any moves to change the status quo vis-à-vis Jerusalem, including mere recognition of the city as Israel’s capital, would benefit "neither Israel ... nor the region."

"It would not benefit anything. Rather than open new doors, it would drag the region into a new disaster."

Didn’t Turkey just announce that the concept of “Moderate Muslim” is insulting? They want to be full-bore radical Muslims.

Such people are nothing but trouble.

Maybe Bozdag could explain, with precise detail, exactly what wouldn't?

I noticed the left doesn’t rush to condemn turkey for its violent rhetoric, like it does Trump.

There is no peace process.

There is only Muslims stamping their feet and dragging things out till they can manage to push the Jews into the sea process.

It’s the only peace process the Koran approves of: a piece process ... a little piece of Poland, a little piece of France....

I believe they are House of Togarmah. The hook will be in a bigger jaw, but you get bonus points for the Ezekiel 38 reference.

Because, yes, it’s coming. Iran being very prominent in such.

And Jerusalem being the Burdensome Stone and Cup of Trembling for the whole world (Zechariah 12:1-3).

NATO needs to expel Turkey. It’s no longer a deterrent to the Soviets. There are no Soviets. It’s a deterrent to radical Islam, which means they can’t have a radical Islamic member state.

Maybe the embassy move is more part of them chum in the water. The baited hook is probably something else.

It is very interesting that the whole World seems to have an opinion about one relatively small city out of thousands and thousands in the World. Seems to fit the Biblical Prophecy to the T.

Yes, it’s all coming together as God prophesied through His servants that it would.

He will be proven to be 100% correct.

This has been going on for thousands of years. If it were mere geopolitics and economics, it would have ended ages ago.

We need to pull out of NATO period. Let Europe defend itself. The US taxpayer doesn't need to pay for any of the EUs socialist utopias. Same for the UN and any other defense treaty or global trade treaty we are engaged in.

The United States is a sovereign nation.

...and this from an NATO “ally”?

...another HUGE mistake. A gift of technology and plans.
There are no radical muslims. There are no moderate muslims. It’s just islam.

And they think it’s not unreasonable that they take 10% (or more) of their “GDP” to fund their armies/ terrorists globally.

Think of Pakistan and US aid. How much went into their military and weapons build up????
