German gunmaker Heckler & Koch to no longer supply Turkey

November 29, 2016 By administrator

gun-turkeyGerman arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch will no longer sign contracts to supply Turkey,news agency DPA reported on Monday, November 28.

Also, countries outside of NATO‘s influence will no longer have such contructs either because it has become too difficult to obtain government approval for such deals, Reuters says.

The company, one of the world’s best-known gunmakers, will in future only sell to countries that are democratic and free from corruption and that are members of NATO or NATO members’ partners, DPA said, citing company sources.

It said this change in strategy would rule out deals with countries such as Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Brazil, India or even NATO member Turkey.

Heckler & Koch did not respond to requests for comment.

Its HK416 assault rifle is said to have been used to kill Osama bin Laden and its G36 rifle is standard issue for armies across the globe.

According to Ohanian, Russia began to supply new weapons to Armenia

August 10, 2016 By administrator

weapon supplyRussia began to provide Armenia with new weapons in accordance with defense contracts of several million dollars signed by the two allied nations, announced yesterday the Minister of Defense, Seyran Ohanian.

The Armenian government could pay with a loan of $ 200 million that Moscow had allocated a year ago.

The government had decided to accelerate the implementation of the agreement following the war four days in early April to Nagorno-Karabakh. It instructed the Armenian Ministry of Defense to quickly negotiate supply contracts with the relevant Russian government agencies.

“Almost all contracts have been signed and interstate procedures for their implementation have been completed,” said Ohanian reporters after inspecting the Armenian troops along the heavily militarized border with Azerbaijan.

“With the existing instruments and under the agreements concluded in the past, imports of Russian weapons are currently underway,” he said when he was in the Tavush region.

In late June, two relatives of Ohanian had traveled to Moscow for talks with senior officials of the Ministry of the Russian Defence, as well as members of the Russian government agency in charge of arms deals with foreign states, Rosoboronexport.

Ohanian did not specify the types or quantities of weapons that Armenia will buy the Russians, with prices set well below the international market level.

In February, Moscow issued a long list of Russian-made weapons that can be purchased for $ 200 million. It includes the multiple launch rocket system Smerch, the heavy rocket system thermobaric TOS-1A, anti-tank weapons and surface to air missiles to the shoulder.

In recent years, Russia has sold 18 Smerch launchers and many TOS-1A systems to Azerbaijan and more than 100 T-90 tanks, more than 30 combat helicopters and other offensive weapons. Deliveries of Russian arms to the enemy state of Armenia, worth at least $ 4 billion, came from contracts signed in 2010-2011.

Armenian leaders have intensified their criticism of Russian arms sales to Baku in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in April. The Russians have rejected these remarks, justifying that they supplied arms to Armenia and Azerbaijan in order to maintain “military balance” in the conflict. The Russian ambassador in Azerbaijan said last month that Moscow intends to sign new defense contracts with Baku.

Ohanian defended yesterday the military alliance between Armenia and Russia, insisting that the latter would defend the state of the South Caucasus in the case of “aggression” foreign.

Moscow and Yerevan have also negotiated last year the delivery of Russian Iskander missiles in the Armenian army. With a firing range of up to 500 kilometers, the sophisticated systems would make oil and gas infrastructure in Azerbaijan even more vulnerable to the Armenian missile strikes in the event of a large-scale war in Karabakh.

A general in the Armenian army had claimed in April that Armenia already had such missiles in its military arsenal. He had no official confirmation.

Syria army recapture Aleppo supply route

November 4, 2015 By administrator

syria.thumbThe Syrian army regained control of a road southeast of Aleppo on Wednesday, state television said, taking back the government’s only supply route into the city from ISIS fighters who had seized it last month.
Army forces took full control of the road which runs from Aleppo through the towns of Khanaser and Ithriya and links up with the cities of Hama and Homs further south, the channel flashed in a news bulletin. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group confirmed the report, according to Al Arabiya.
The road is the army’s supply route to government-held western parts of Aleppo, home to around 2 million people.
Rebels are mainly in the eastern sector of the city, which was Syria’s most populous before the conflict broke out in 2011.
ISIS said late last month it had taken control of most of the Syrian army checkpoints on the road and seized large caches of ammunition from army outposts in the area.
Areas around Aleppo have seen weeks of heavy fighting after Syrian troops backed by Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian fighters launched an offensive to retake territory around Aleppo from rebels and jihadist fighters.
The offensive has concentrated so far on clearing insurgent-held areas south of Aleppo rather than the city itself.
It is one of several assaults carried out by pro-government ground forces since Russian jets began carrying out air strikes on Sept. 30 in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
Syrian troops are also trying to advance to the east of Aleppo towards Kweires military airport, aiming to break a siege of the base by ISIS and other insurgents.

Germany’s DW Reports ISIS Supply Lines Originate in NATO’s Turkey

December 4, 2014 By administrator

ISIS-Supply-LinesThe German channel Deutsche Welle (DW) has published a video report of paramount importance; this is probably the first major Western media to admit that the so-called EIIL (or ISIS, or Islamic State) is fed, not by the black market oil, or the hostage-taking with ransom, but supplies and equipment to several billion dollars, transported daily by truck to Syria through the border with Turkey, a NATO member country.

The report entitled ‘IS’ supply channels through Turkey (“The supply chains of EIIL come from Turkey”) confirmed what had been reported by several political analysts in 2011, namely that Turkey, although NATO member, allows huge amounts of supplies passage of weapons and fighters across its border with Syria to the positions held by EIIL.

In a surreal scene DW reportage, we see anti-Syrian terrorists quietly cross the border and once we got to the other side, to be slaughtered by Kurdish fighters.

Residents and local merchants interviewed by DW admit that they were exercising trade with Syria was discontinued at the start of the conflict and that the goods trucks crossing the border from the “western Turkey. “The report DW does not dwell on what you mean by” Western Turkey “, but this obviously refers to Ankara, the various ports used by NATO, and of course the NATO air base Incirlik.

Although the report by DW says no one really knows who is behind all these expeditions, we are nevertheless aware that the Turkish government in Ankara denies the very existence of these convoys of trucks filmed by German reporters. What is certain is that Turkey is not only aware, but it is directly complicit, as well as NATO, which pretends to want to fight EIIL but failed so far to expose and eradicate international sponsors of EIIL, and most importantly, NATO refused to simply cut the supply lines of EIIL – which nevertheless is one of the basic principles of any military strategy.

From the beginning, behind the threat of EIIL, NATO

As explained in 2007, the US and its accomplices in the region have conspired to use al-Qaeda and other extremist armed groups to rearrange the map of North Africa and the Middle East. The famous Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh wrote in his 2007 article entitled “The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy Benefiting our enemies in the War on Terrorism”:

“To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush administration has decided to review its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the government cooperated with Saudi Arabia – which is Sunni – as part of covert operations designed to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization backed by Iran. The United States has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. One effect of these activities was the development of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam, are hostile to the United States, and are close to al-Qaeda. Do you even lift

Of course, the term “extremist groups” who “espouse a militant vision of Islam” and “are close to al Qaeda” clearly refers to the Islamic state. The EIIL is the expeditionary force of NATO mercenaries, devastating proxy enemies latter from Libya in North Africa, to Lebanon and Syria, through Iraq and even borders Iran. His seemingly endless supply of money, arms and fighters can be explained by using several foreign countries and by the existence of shelters territories that NATO protects the fire of his enemies are Syria, Hezbollah, Iran and Iraq. The report of the German channel DW clearly shows how terrorists ISIS regularly escape from Syria and found refuge in Turkey.

One of the main objectives of NATO in 2012 was to use every possible pretext to extend these shelters territories or “buffer zones” inside Syria itself, making the protection by military forces NATO and from which the “rebels” could operate. If they had succeeded, DW cameraman teams would probably filmed these truck convoys, but this time through the towns of Idlib and Aleppo, and not along the border with Syria.

The plot of the US and its allies to create a sectarian mercenary force aligned with al-Qaeda was highlighted, as was the fact that the so-called “moderate rebels” that the US officially supported in Syria are nothing but sectarian extremists, the report DW filming the supply convoys from Turkey has confirmed, if doubt still existed, that the threat posed by EIIL vis-à-vis the NATO comes from NATO itself. This unveils a foreign policy so incredibly insidious that it’s hard to believe, even after the broadcast by major media as DW images showing that the supply routes of EIIL come from controlled territories by NATO.
