this guy is most likely not even close to the BND, but his short docu on an actual close neighbour shows the narrow mind thinking of an A+ student with a bright carrier in the University system just infront of him.
He does not find a reasonable cause for the Turkish governement building a channel to support their most important trade route that all have eyes on.
I instead wonder why he did not at all look at the chances for Istanbuhl. In the last part he explaines the route the channel will take and not one word is mentioned that a lake turns into main yachting real estate for big bugs development as a new hot spot area as soon the diggers are done pooring concrete. This lake just got sea access and so every boat tyed to a pole swmming in it pushing the housing all around onto a next level value.
Istanbuhl is the actual very capital of all Turk people that stretch from the edge of Europe deep into rough mountain areas just north of Afgahnistan. Basically, the Turks could well start teaching Chinese over English, if the CIA & Co wins this war and we all manage to get trade back running off drugs and hegemony.
Developing that town is more than an economic task, it is ever Turks affair of heart like Putin and Russian pride. Like Russians looking from the twin towns of Moskow and St.Petersebourg across the Ural to Siberia the Turks look from Istanbul to the East just before the Chinese boarder, overlooking Ankarea who ever reigns there as secondary to the Turkish wild lands.
This channel and all needed changes in infrastructure can bring beside international implications the report focuses on a lot of quality of life into Istanbul by creating a Seine like river city centre, a Themse like focus for a Turkish Canary Warf trade and finance corporate center of silk road trade for their desire to the east and turning densly populated areas for the working poor into recreational enjoyable home areas for those that just cant get bothered getting rich, if they are just treated with respect by especially the town they help feeding, getting around, staying clean and keeping up sweet'n'easy Love, Peace and Harmony over our Western conflict society.
What is wrong with you?
Hippis will rule the world, the generation of my parents told you and who does not want to become a Hippi like Erdogan by reason we will force like Rambo...#muhahahahaha
