“Turkey’s balanced policy on the Ukrainian crisis has won recognition from the world,” Erdogan continued in a speech aired by Turkish state television. “If we listen to those critics, we must now worry about how to survive the coming winter, just like Europeans.”

Türkiye President Erdogan recently said that Türkiye will not have any problems importing natural gas from Russia this winter.

"Turkey's balanced policy on the Ukrainian crisis has won recognition from the world," Erdogan continued in a speech aired by Turkey's National Television (TRT). "If we listen to those critics, we must now worry about how to survive the upcoming winter, just like Europeans."

"Luckily, Ankara has chosen a different path, so we have no gas problem," he said, stressing that "Turkey is transforming into a major gas hub, which is the hope of the world."

Polish media dorzeczy continued to write in quoting Erdogan's remarks on October 22 that Russian President Putin not long ago proposed at the energy forum for the Russian Energy Week held in Moscow to establish the largest natural gas hub in Europe in Turkey because it is no longer possible to transport natural gas to Europe through the Nord Stream pipeline.

Who blows up the Nord Stream and why?

September 26, the Nord Stream 1 (NS1) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) pipelines exploded at four locations at the same time and leaked natural gas. The authorities in Germany, Denmark and Sweden do not rule out the possibility of (deliberate) destruction, while Moscow believes it is an "international terrorism act", and Putin clearly stated that the West should be responsible for it.

According to the Polish media review, before the explosion, neither pipeline transported natural gas to Germany. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Berlin suspended the commissioning of Nord Stream 2. The transportation of Nord Stream-1 was stopped indefinitely by Gazpromise at the end of August, citing a technical failure in a compressor station located in Russia.

Investigation by Swedish police

According to reports, on October 6, the Swedish police released an investigation report on the Nord Stream natural gas leak. It was confirmed that the pipeline exploded. The above-mentioned Polish media also quoted experts as saying that no matter who is the murderer, NATO and EU countries need to strengthen their ability to protect critical infrastructure.

Observers noticed that the Nordic gas pipeline was bombed coincided with the opening of the Baltic pipeline, which will transport natural gas from Norway to Poland.

Western Mainstream media cannot cover up public anger

However, even if the above-mentioned media is vague and does not directly point out that it is the Nord Stream pipeline that was blown up by the United States, social media has also broken the silence. Especially after the German Economic News (DWN) quoted American economist Jeffrey Saxophone and former Pentagon Douglas McGregor as saying, "It is generally believed that the United States and the United Kingdom planned the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline." German netizen Norbert Werner quickly expressed his anger on Facebook, "All suspicions point to the United States. Only mainstream media seems to be deliberately guiding the wrong direction."

followed Norbert Werner's words and followed, and netizen Marco Kitner wrote: "Of course it's American, which is clear from the beginning, but there will be no further investigation or publicity, because the United States does not want to do this." Another netizen Asim Eden also said: "Even if it is confirmed, Germany will not have anger or consequences. The United States can effortlessly blow up a natural gas pipeline worth 20 billion euros ."
