Eric Adams scandal: How Turkey allegedly bribed NYC mayor (and a close look at Turko-American relationship)

Real Turkey Channel cadres had to laugh when reading Eric Adams allegedly received a huge amount of gifts and perks from Turkish businesspeople in return for issuing an occupancy permit to Turkish consular building, despite numerous fire hazards. Can the trial implicate the Erdogan administration? Are there new sanctions underway?

The Adams case allows Real Turkey Channel to take a close look at Turko-American relationship which has gone through several ups and downs over the last decade. Things will be coming to a head with several conflicts points nearing take-off stage. These are the status of Syrian Kurds, Halkbank trial, the military agreement between Pentagon and the Greek Cypriote Administration.

 

Finally, the US State Department reportedly offered to re-admit Turkey to F-35 jet fighter program in return for shipping Russian made S-400 anti-missile batteries to NATO airbase in Incirlik, Adana. Many risks and opportunities in the bi-lateral relationship all covered in 20 minutes. Merry Viewing.
