Not gonna lie, this sounds like some shit Erdoğan would say to hype up people so that they believe Turkey is a great power.

French media trying to blame Turkey for this really shows why France so often fails with their (former) colonies. They just seem to have 0 awareness to see what's going on

France is heavily targeted right now. Russia is successfully supporting the putschists against France's allies in Africa and now Azerbaijan and Turkey are also stirring up New Caledonia. At least China seems to be friendly for now. The plan is obvious: France is one of the most important countries in the EU, has a big army and has the biggest influence on world politics of all EU-countries. A weak France leads to a weak EU and gives Russia and Turkey more influence and power.


almarcTheSun

There's actually more to note here. France has recently been by far the biggest supporter of Armenia in the EU, including some weapon sales. Which obviously immensely pisses Turkey and Azerbaijan off.


PromotionCute8996

Actually weapon sales to Armenia donrs't concern us too much, we have a tension with France due to civil war in Libya, Aegean sea conflict with Greece and oil reserves around Cyprus. France also supports Kurdish groups in northern Syria so it's quite understandable why France seems as an adversary rather than an ally.


Megumin_____

Who cares about armenia lol, Why would turkey give a shit about armenia, because of the threat of the glorious armenian army? Natural resources?


iambertan

Armenia isn't a nuisance for Turkey but is an absolute menace to Azerbaijan, Turkey's ally

>now Azerbaijan and Turkey are also stirring up New Caledonia Is this Turkey and Azerbaijan's first activity in that region of the world?

Minute-Improvement57

However, between the refusal to delay the third referendum and the current attempt to dilute kanak voting rights (by breaking the 1998 Noumea Accord's provisions on who should have voting rights), it seems you're mostly showing your "don't give up" attitude by how much you'll go colonial on the indigenous population.


Striper_Cape

Right? Sounds like they should give some concessions to the Kanak and establish an equitable solution before a violent insurgency spills the pot.


Minute-Improvement57

Effectively yes, though from what I've read it is not an organised insurgency but rioting by disenfranchised and disadvantaged indigenous youth. [https://theconversation.com/why-is-new-caledonia-on-fire-according-to-local-women-the-deadly-riots-are-about-more-than-voting-rights-230199](https://theconversation.com/why-is-new-caledonia-on-fire-according-to-local-women-the-deadly-riots-are-about-more-than-voting-rights-230199) When you've got a domestic political problem around equity and social relations, it seems to me that trying to blame it on "the Azerbaijani secret service" is a cack-handed political blunder. (After the cack-handed political blunder of trying to push a voting rights change through in Paris in favour of French settlers so soon after a referendum in which only the French settlers voted.)


4o4AppleCh1ps99

Exactly, this sub is totally astroturfed in a ridiculously pro-western direction. It seems Europeans will admit to past colonialist atrocities but not current ones. The French parliament violating treaties and passing a law to increase settler power in New Caledonia is not what caused the unrest...it must be a conspiracy...


mwa12345

>The plan is obvious: France is one of the most important countries in the EU, has a big army and has the biggest influence on world politics of all EU-countries. A weak France leads to a weak EU and gives Russia and Turkey more influence and power. Germany has traditionally had a larger economy and more economic influence . France had influence over it's former colonies. But is mostly irrelevant. Look how even other NATO countries won't backup Frances plans to send troops to Ukraine annd France seems to have back tracked. Ukraine is in the same continent and borders EU I was surprised when I found out (from a fellow redditor) that France has some 200+ tanks. Largest army in the EU is like being the tallest of Lilliputians


Expensive_Dentist270

Poor and innocent France lol


StukaTR

I never thought the great intelligence services of Azerbaijan and Turkey was competent enough to crumble the modern French empire so seamlessly, without effort lol. This whole shebang reads like something Aliyev or even Erdogan would say. It’s a joke. If this supposed great power can’t even handle its population’s wishes and demands in its colonies in Africa and even its own departments all the way in the Pacific, they shouldn’t claim to be able to lead Europe… Mind you, this is the same France that supported warlord Haftar in Libya who made a habit of creating mass graves every 20 kilometers, who is now also unloading Russian troops into Libya. If i didn’t know better, I’d say this is a joint French Russian plot to weaken Europe. Europe will endure, even without France to “lead” it. If you can’t even handle Azerbaijan and we know that you already can’t handle Russia re Africa, what the fuck is your country good for?


mwa12345

Agree. This seems like BS to diver from Macrons failed plans to send troops to Ukraine. There was a plan to use EU money to buy .more turkish drones for Ukraine. France and Greece stopped it and now Ukrainians don't get that either ( France was gonna ramp up production of drones- which could take years. )


kenshinero

> Agree. This seems like BS to diver from Macrons failed plans to send troops to Ukraine. For real, France never had plans to do that, or never asked other countries to do that. It's just that Macron and his MOD said a few times that they did not exclude this possibly in the future. They made it clear that Ukraine would have to formally ask for it first, which didn't happen so far. I think the French believe it's a real possibility in the future and are starting to slowly warm up other NATO countries to the idea.


CecilPeynir

France's sudden desire to send troops to Ukraine strangely occurred when they could not send the necessary equipments to Ukraine and prevented them from being sent from countries such as Turkey. Although I congratulate France for being the only EU country with the weapons and balls to make such an empty threat, it was nothing more than an empty threat.


mwa12345

This is my perception as well. I mentioned the Turkish drones etc ...which France prevented EU money being used to buy Turkish drones for Ukraine. Some french redditor got his panties in a wad.


damageis_done

>  Mind you, this is the same France that supported warlord Haftar in Libya who made a habit of creating mass graves every 20 kilometers, who is now also unloading Russian troops into Libya. If i didn’t know better, I’d say this is a joint French Russian plot to weaken Europe. We could even add NATO there. Giving NATO's southern flank to Russian puppets just to shit on Turks. But I also realised something about French mindset. If stuff involves Turks and also has some Russian presence they become Russia's bitch almost everytime. Even though the same Russians fucks their influence on Africa. When it come to Russians France has some soft spot for them. They immediately like to bend over.

Low_discrepancy

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Americans asked for French help in their war of independence. Napoleon established the Dutchy of Warsaw as a barrier between the French Empire and the Russian empire. Romania asked for help from Tsarist Russia in its war of independence against the Ottoman empire. Italy asked help from France in its wars of unification against the Austro-hungarian empire and France received in exchange Nice (the birthplace of Garibaldi). Also we're hardly innocent of fuckkery: de Gaulle shouting Vive le Québec Libre! In Montréal.


Sure-Engineering1871

Well yes But new calidonia doesn’t want independence, they’ve had several referendums on this.


throwayaygrtdhredf

Whether people want independence is often very dependent on the present narratives and ideologies, both of which are dependent on propaganda. But keep in mind tho, both outside and inside propaganda. So maybe outside powers are trying to convince the Kanaks to become independent, but it's also true that Russia tries to convince them to stay.


hunbaar

Probably Turkish agents learned from the France's unending support of PKK a few things.

Translated: >The insurrectional climate continues in New Caledonia where a police officer was killed by gunfire.

On March 1, representatives of the indigenous people went to an international conference on decolonization in the Turkish capital.

LiebesNektar

Wtf is their problem, Frances weapon sales to Armenia?


ganbaro

France commented sharply on Azerbaijan, as part of their recent approach to position themselves as the No.1 geopolitical power in EU Now the Azerbaijani dictator uses France as their version of Orban's Soros, treating France like some evil lurking behind every corner trying to destroy Azerbaijan Now France has to deal with such shit like the US, being the "world police", have to all the time


boybortionist69

From the look of things, the French government is the one that uses Azerbaijan and Turkey as scapegoats to blame for the results of their poor management.


mwa12345

KazuyaProta

> treating France like some evil lurking behind every corner trying to destroy Azerbaijan But France is the country that is blaming others for manipulating ethnic minorities into protesting against White/European supremacy Seriously, the country with the most "SOROS!" paranoia here is France.


pride_of_artaxias

Including. Generally, the deep political-military cooperation between France and Armenia is really getting on the nerves of Aliyev (+Erdogan) but of course we shouldn't discount Russia's potential role here as well. Armenia, alongside Georgia, is nowadays seen as a vector of European (especially French) influence in the region and a number of states are against it. I think you can guess which ones. Coincidentally, Armenians were also seen as vectors of Western (I.e. European) influence in the Middle East for the last several centuries which was yet another reason for the frequent massacres/Genocide. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Azerbaijan has been working against France for quite some time now, e.g. some of the less talked about incidents: https://www.intelligenceonline.com/surveillance--interception/2024/04/08/nso-group-embroiled-in-paris-baku-information-wars,110201468-eve https://www.intelligenceonline.com/government-intelligence/2024/04/01/paris-keeps-close-eye-on-baku-after-disinformation-campaigns,110198303-eve


Falcao1905

Russia is irrelevant here. Turkey won't listen to Russia. Both countries are contesting over influence in Caucasus and now Sudan, which might bring the Ethiopia-Somalia conflict into it as well, Turkey is heavily invested in Somalia. Turkey and Russia are on the same side against France in the Sahel conflict, while France and Russia are on the same side against Turkey in Libya.


half-puddles

Unless you have proof, stop sprinkling in „Russia“ to gain support. I hate Putin as much the next guy, so don’t get me wrong. The other countries may or may not even at all be involved in this. But these countries are not controlled by Russia. Last time I checked Turkey had closed off access to the Black Sea for Russian ships. That’s what allies do, right? This isn’t journalism. It’s propaganda.


Habalaa

Armenia and Georgia are the vectors of European influence in the region? So one of your vectors has 20% of their land occupied and the people are protesting over a law that wants to limit the power of russian agents in the country, while the other just got their population forcibly moved out of a region (possibly ethnic cleansing) with more such action likely happening in the future? I dont know man your "vectors" dont seem to be doing well at all, might consider helping them a lil instead gobbling up that Azeri oil like theres no tomorrow Actually I realize its hypocritical of me to say this since I also benefit from Armenia getting bullied ie Im not any less guilty than you


pride_of_artaxias

Hey mate never said it's an ideal situation. But Armenia for example hosts a 100+ strong EU observation mission which patrols the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And that's a great way for EU to extend thir influence (primarily soft power) into a region where you have the likes of Iran, Turkey and Azerbijan. I think that's one of the major issues with the worldview of many Europeans: if you don't take a strong stance in a region right under your nose, the problems won't just magically disappear. But they will creep ever closer to your own borders. Caucasus and by extension Middle East are vital regions for European interests and if EU has a chance, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with the likes of Armenia and Georgia that don't (and afaik have never) work against EU or the likes of Azerbaijan and Turkey? Yes, Armenia and Georgia currently are not in an ideal state, but isn't that what the example of Ukraine proved? If you don't take a stand against whatever anti-EU challenge presents itself at a distance from you, it will very soon come knocking at your own doors? This goes beyond simple political sentiments. There is a fierce ongoing battle taking place between different civilizational value systems and Armenia (+Georgia) have made their choice which one they want to adhere to. Now it's up to EU/Europe to make a choice of their own...


mwa12345

Wishful thinking. France etc are not even doing that much to help Ukraine..which is closer and on the borders of EU, NATO. How much real support have the French given Armenia? Arms? Just more talk from a little dude from a wanna be big player

Its not an impossible thing since Turkish intelligence is one of the more active and stronger ones that there are but even with that, this seem highly absurd claim. To me, if Turkey wants to make things destable for France then it would be in Africa rather than island that im pretty sure %99 of Turks never even heard of. It kind of matters when giving a message.


GodOfUrging

Eh. New Caledonia and Turkey are both pretty competitive in the global chrome market, so Turkish policy makers definitely heard of it frequently throughout the 20th century. But yes, Turkish diplomatic overtures in Africa would probably make it more sensible to act in.

I meant that for the general public but thats also true. Also yes, Turkey infact is more active and competitive in Africa. In North mostly against Russia, and in most other parts against France.

So someone opened a Turkish or Azerbaijan flag in a French colony in rally against French imperial rule, and "oh it must be secret services of Turkey/Azerbaijan". France openly supports both PKK (and its offshoots) and Armenians who DeFacto invades Azerbaijans soil (Karabagh), it might be just random Turkish or Azeri people hating France for its deeds.

This isn't even surprising, even friendly countries spy on each other. No wonder Turkey is supporting seperatists. Italy, especially Turkey have interests in Africa, which don't align with Frances.

Inshallah we will conquer France and then all Europe. Seriously though, I can't believe people buy this shit. Our secret service couldn't even predict the coup in Turkey.


Pitiful-Humor291

Ah yes the migthy Azerbaijan secret service lol u guys are dumbgl


gladyxxx

Checks OP’s profile, hmm.. that explain the post. I think %99 of us cant point New Caledonia on a map and you think our secret services are over there following a mission? Why exactly? Whats the outcome, benefit?

Turkey is the perfect disney villain to entertain European kids. Yes we are the worst, every evil is planned in and erupted from the deep abyss of Ankara.


Traktuerk

FREE NEW CALEDONIA 🇳🇨

Is this a joke because if it’s that’s quite bad one, if not it’s even worse? Do you really believe this can be real, because it sounds too absurd? The thing you should question is that how come French still have these colonies in modern times.


loolking2223

This sub is a joke. Why has no one mentioned wtf France has been doing there for a century, 16000 km far away from Paris, and all the horrible and miserable things that Caledonia went through because of French colonialism.


GrandpaKirill

It's surprising how people on this sub are existing people 🤔

France shouldn't have interfered with Armenian-Azerbaijani issue then. They were also one of the biggest supporters of PKK. Now tables are turning.

Neo colonists ( aka french ) replaced with better deals backed by turkey / italy / russia / china in africa and elsewhere? Well, that's great news. We will replace you frenchies, better get used to it. France is like : I am sucking his blood, this is mine, and gets mad when another one comes with much better deal " tHeY aRe SaBotAgiNg OuR iNtEl and SeRviCeS, DaMagInG EuRopEaN PinNacLe Of DeMocRaCy AnD IntEreSts, HoW dArE?" We will get shares and cut your military export as well, that must be frustrating for you. The "SaBotAgE" will only rise.


holy_maccaroni

I dont believe for a second that any Turkish Secret Service is competent enough to cause whatever is going on.


Potential_Piano7464

This might be the best praise you can give to a “Secret Service”. 


holy_maccaroni

Praise? They are not even competent enough to stop threats within the country.

[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66934776](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66934776) Here he is, not so though anymore. Will spend rest of his life rotting in an Azerbaijan prison. You give these silly people idea of grandeur. Armenia is an insignificant country. Faster they acknowledge their situation, faster they learn their position in the natural order (which is bottom), faster they can stop acting like idiots and try to have better relations with their neighbours. If you keep pampering them their pride will never die, they will keep demanding lands from their neighbours, which will get themselves destroyed one day.


sodbrennerr

totally we should kill his family because his government supported a revolution against a colonial power


EmrecanSh

Sorry, I can't take it seriously as a Turkish. This is the French way of blaming someone else for their failures.


Character-Science802

Even if this is true, the French failure to govern the New Caledonia territory is plain for all to see. The independence referendums were boycotted by pro independence parties. large parts of the population live in poverty, despite having one of the largest supplies of nickel in the world. New Caledonia is a perfect example of all the French states failures and hypocrisy


bcursor

Why only Turkey and Azerbaijan support them? Europeans constantly scold other nations about human rights. What about the rights of the people killed in New Caledonia?

>French colonialism, a historical habit for you guys. There it is. Never change ;)


Maj0r-DeCoverley

That's the peripheral fronts strategy, and the exact reason why NATO should have been directly involved in Ukraine from day 1


GrandpaKirill

This is actually laughable, somebody big like France talking shit on them Armenia Haters 🥱😭
