Ru »Turkish journalists. According to them, the authorities pay close attention to foreign media employees, but this time they did not inflate the topic. Meanwhile, the Russians detained on December 3 have already returned home - on the eve of Istanbul, it was decided to deport them. Around the night flight. Everything is in order with them. And, of course, all colleagues from the media that support us these days, ”the report said.

The decision on deportation was made the day before. It clarified that this became possible thanks to the efforts attached by Russian diplomats - the Turkish side also recalled the need to "comply with the legislation and accreditation rules when working in Turkey." The NTV press service, meanwhile, told RBC that the television companies were deported-the prosecutor abandoned the charges of spying.

The authorities of Istanbul confirmed the detention of Russian journalists, as well as a Turkish citizen, for a period of three days. Later it turned out that the “Turkish citizen” was the Azerbaijani journalist Aitaj Dzharchieva, who worked for the VGTRK, said the Azerbaijani resource “Mirror”. Already on Monday, December 7, the NTV channel, citing a source, said that detained journalists are suspected of espionage - the fact is that they were shooting near the facility at which combat drones are produced.

They were detained in the suburbs of Istanbul, where the Baykar Savunma drone plant is located. There is, in principle, his address on the sites, and in Google Maps, and in Yandex you can find it. The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, meanwhile, assured that Russia is taking "all possible measures to assist Russian journalists." While in Russia, this story of the excitement was closely monitored by the fate of journalists, in Turkey itself.

Ru ”Turkish journalist Abdurrahman Kamburoglu. He noticed that there were cases when, due to journalists, relations with other countries were complicated. However, the detention of Alexei Petrushko and Ivan Malyshkin did not stir the Turkish public. Until the official Russian side has connected, ”summarized Abdurrahman Kamburoglu. Turkish journalist Yashar Niyazbaev suggests that in Turkey they did not inflate this topic, because "apparently there were positive notes." And there were no goals in their actions, ”he remarked in an interview with the“ newspaper.

According to Niyazbaev, "there were only a few articles and one interview with a former intelligence officer and military expert, in which the negativity flashed." Everything was presented as if it were already proved and was not subject to disputing. The military, apparently, saw this, but decided diplomacy differently. ” Indeed, the Sabah publication, and after him, and some others published an interview with a military expert, retired colonel Joshkun Bashbug, who expressed absolute confidence that the actions of Russian journalists are nothing more than an industrial espionage.

They were interested, according to the specialist, the unmanned aerial vehicles of Bayractar TB2, which are produced at the Baykar Makina private enterprise - since the first flight of the year they have been used in military conflicts in Libya, in Syria and recent clashes in Nagorno -Karabakh. This is a war of special services. Scouts used a journalistic cover to achieve their goal.

Perhaps in the background of this incident, other connections and other goals will be identified, ”said Joshkun Bashbug. The Turkish military expert also said that journalists could not help but know that the shooting near the “critical military facility” was prohibited. But these did this, knowing that they were committing a crime. However, they did not expect or did not know that the state would take measures, ”he said.

Most of the Turkish media, however, did not discuss the topic of espionage from Russian journalists, illuminating the topic only with short news notes. After a few more days, the situation could turn differently if it began to be escalated. ” Permission to work from employees of foreign media in Turkey, meanwhile, require regularly. Now foreign journalists are required to be temporary accreditation.

Or at least a resolution to shoot that must be obtained in the governor’s apparatus.

” However, in practice they may not ask any documents. Nevertheless, the journalist believes that Türkiye reacted abruptly, detaining, and then deporting Russian journalists. And espionage is a very appropriate reason. ” Picture of the day.
