The fourth update

It was very surprising that at the moment when the results of the arbitration were announced, the representative of the USSR Foreign Ministry appeared just outside the arbitral tribunal, and when the car stopped in front of the media, the Soviet flag fluttering on the front of the car made all the media focus their cameras on the young representative of the Soviet Union, Yesrov.

It was not for nothing that Minister Shevardnadze chose diplomat Yesrov as the spokesman of the Soviet Union, firstly, in order to change the stereotypical and rigorous image of the Soviet Union by others, and secondly, because Yeslov, as the toughest diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was very suitable to attend such an occasion and give the Turkish representative a head start.

When the Soviet diplomat finally appeared at the door of the arbitral tribunal, reporters waiting for the results immediately crowded in, wondering why the Soviet Union chose to appear outside the arbitral court at this sensitive time. And the Soviet diplomat, who was standing on the steps, turned around, faced the spotlight, and expressed his opinion on the outcome of the arbitration.

"On the issue of the Turkish Straits we have signed an agreement with President Demirel in black and white to jointly host the Turkish Straits in one place. Now, at the instigation of other countries, they did not consult the Soviet Union, nor did they resort to legitimate means of negotiation, but relied on a so-called arbitral tribunal without any basis. I would like to ask, did Turkey take into account our feelings when it applied for an award to this arbitral tribunal that paid money to solve the problem for you? The answer is no, they hope that the matter can be resolved by a unilateral ruling, but we will absolutely not allow the USSR to accept such a shameful, dirty decision. ”

When Yesrov finished saying this, the representative of Turkey was walking down with a smug face at the door of the tribunal. When he saw the Soviet representative, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then handed the arbitration result in his hand to Yesrov, and proudly declared Turkey's victory to reporters.

"We won this international arbitration, and you lost a mess. Are you here now to witness your defeat? ”

"Oh? Is it? So what? Yesrov sneered and took the verdict from the Turkish representative's hand, turned to face all the reporters, he held up the verdict that was not too thick, and said to the reporters around him, "This is how the Soviet Union replied to this result. ”

Then Yesrov, in front of everyone, tore the so-called verdict to shreds. Stunned by the journalists and the Turkish representative, he raised his hand and lifted all the pieces up. Shredded pieces of paper fell like snowflakes on the steps and on the suits of the Turkish representatives.

"For us, the so-called ruling is just a scrap of paper, and if Turkey wants to create trouble and cause conflict in the straits, it has to rely on its own military strength to win it."

At the end, Yesrov also taunted the Turkish representative in passing, "Oh yes, when it comes to the Turkish army, we have to talk about the navy that your army can't support." He once fought against Tsarist Russia, a second-rate country in Europe, and was defeated in a battle and had no power to fight back. It was once overturned by the Greek Navy with an armored cruiser, and it was overturned twice in a row. Do I need to go on about these glorious deeds of the submarine forces, which were once the most unpopular of the British, blocked the entire Marmara shipping line in the Turkish Strait with four submarines? ”

The Turkish representative was pale by Yesrov's anger, but he could not find any excuse to refute it, so he had to leave here hatefully, glaring at Yesrov with a vicious look in his eyes before leaving, and signaling the other party to wait and see. At this time, reporters from all walks of life focused the spotlight on the dejected back of the Turkish delegate leaving, thinking that this would be tomorrow's headlines.

Immediately after Yesrov appeared at the door of the tribunal, the Soviet Foreign Ministry issued a statement, and Foreign Minister Shevardnadze stood in front of reporters and stated that the Soviet Union had a black-on-white statement on the Turkish Straits. Moreover, Turkey did not belong to the territory occupied by the Soviet Union, so this so-called arbitration is a complete farce, a farce of Turkey's attempt to provoke a dispute between the two countries.

"Minister Shevardnadze, the Turkish side believes that you are violating their sovereignty by doing so, and does the Soviet Union really violate Turkish sovereignty?"

"Minister Shevardnadze, in the face of such an arbitration result, what will the top level of Moscow say? Deterrence by force? Or is it a war conflict? ”

"Minister Shevardnadze ......"

The reporters' questions were sharper and sharper, but none of them were difficult for Shevardnadze. As long as the Turkish arbitration is unilaterally illegal, Shevardnadze will be able to fight back against them.

"Turkey unilaterally believes that this is a violation of their sovereignty by the Soviet Union, and it can only be said that their paranoia of victimization has reached a breathtaking level, first of all, the policy of joint trusteeship of the strait is a treaty signed by the two sides in accordance with the principle of voluntariness, and there is no so-called occupation of territory, and the Soviet Union has only set up observation posts near the coast of the Turkish straits, and there is no heavy military garrison as Turkey claims, these are complete nonsense."

"In the face of such an arbitration result, Moscow expressed its deep regret, of course, a court that can help you conduct arbitration by paying money, and a department that claims to be an international organization but does not seem to have any enforcement powers, we don't know why Turkey would choose this organization with almost zero enforcement efficiency to arbitrate for itself. I believe that the Turkish top brass is not stupid, but in addition to fools, I think there is another possibility that the so-called arbitration is nothing more than an illusion, and the real conspiracy has not yet emerged. Even if you want to make a big news, you can wait a little bit. Western journalists don't have to run too fast. ”

"As for what the conspiracy against the USSR was, then only those behind it will know."

Shevardnadze very implicitly exposed the conspiracy of the United States and Turkey against the Soviet Union, and when the reporters wanted to dig deeper, he immediately chose to shut up and leave the journalists room for imagination. But at least in tomorrow's report, international public opinion may show a 180-degree reversal.

Shevardnadze stepped off the podium, and instead of returning to his office, he stood quietly in the hallway, imagining what would happen next. Not only him, but also Comrade Yazov and Smiryev quietly smoked a cigarette this night, thinking about what strategy Yanayev would adopt to break the enemy's blockade.

Only the KGB and the CIA are still busy, but they are busy in very different directions. The CIA has kept an eye on the PKK's every move, has already set a trap and is waiting for them to act. The KGB, on the other hand, set its sights on the Turkish authorities and hurriedly started the next game of chess.

Tenet swore that he had seen through Yanayev's methods, but he did not expect that he had been led by the nose by the enemy. As the perpetrator of the scheme, Yanayev is like the initiator hiding behind the scenes, enjoying a wonderful puppet show. Whether it is Turkey or the Americans, they are all being played around in the palm of his hand.

"The last two steps are just two steps away, and the patience of the Turkish side is almost exhausted. As soon as the Black Sea Fleet approached Turkish waters, it was the rhythm of the fuse being lit. Next, Demirel chose to let the American ships enter the Marmara Sea, which was the beginning of a complete outbreak of contradictions. The military did not want to see a Turkey controlled by others, and with the instigation of internal pawns, it was only logical that Demirel would be broken. When the Kurds turn around and start a rebellion in the northeast, the whole of Turkey will be overwhelmed. ”

The red threads of the target eventually converge on Demirel, who is actually the most crucial player in the whole incident. And he unwittingly acted as a catalyst for the deterioration of the incident.

"Turkey's turmoil is finally coming to an end."

Yanayev put down his pen and breathed a long sigh of relief, and by this time, his great layout had been completed. Now it is up to Turkey to follow the steps of its own design, step by step towards the irretrievable abyss.

And then it all ended. (To be continued.) )
