Women in Finland receive comprehensive combat training against Russian invasion

The title is a bit long.

I copied and pasted it.

Reading this news reminded me of my visits to the Universities of Helsinki and Turku in 2010 as part of the Erasmus program.

There was a different wind blowing in Europe in those years.

We were closer to the European Union than ever before.

The trauma of years past, a first-place finish in the Eurovision contest, and notable partial successes in sports.

Fireworks set off in broad daylight.

The so-called centers of tutelage were being pushed back, and the Neanderthals were being given a path forward.

The republic that was said to have been founded incorrectly, and the revolutions that were stated to have been imposed by force and pressure.

Familiar faces who wanted to inject the flaws of the Republic—which enabled them to grow up and become professors—into the crevices of our brains every day, tirelessly and incessantly.

Turncoats who had thrived within the institutions of the Republic.

Anyway, I'm getting carried away again, attacking the 'Second Republicans'; let's not lose sight of our main topic.

Let's say that during those beautiful days, I spent quite a bit of time in Finland, where I gave lectures.

I immediately understood that the University of Turku was Turkish from the crescent and star on the tie they gifted me.

Some know they are Turkish, some don't, but the majority are aware. The Crimean Tatar Turks are already the intellectual pioneers of this phenomenon. Some of the Tatars remained Muslim, but most chose Christian Turkism. As they lost the Turkish language, the ties weakened.

Just like the Attila Hungarians.

But I felt at home.

Being Turkish was useful.

The fact that anti-Turkey terrorists cannot find shelter in Finland and that we gave unconditional support to their NATO membership, I think, explains the situation more clearly.

They showed great interest and attention during my visit. The meals we ate one after another and the political conversations.

In that beautiful climate of peace, during a period when the Russian was viewed with sympathy, at the very moment when Russian gas was being connected to Germany via pipelines from both Asia Minor and the Baltic Sea, and European industry was gaining access to very cheap energy, one professor brought up the possibility of a new Russian invasion.

"Is that possible, Professor? Why would the Russians attack you?"

"Look, they are both selling gas to Europe and making money."

Although the professor tried to explain that the situation was not quite like that, he did not dwell on the subject much.

Because of both my age and my lack of understanding at the time, I couldn't quite grasp the seriousness of the situation that day either. Of course, the stories of the 'Urus' (Russian) invasion we heard from our grandparents are in our minds, but more than a hundred years have passed. The actions of the Armenians within the Russian army are not easily forgotten.

For example, the jargon of "Don't even give water to the Urus" is still the most innocent one known.

During the invasion, the blood-staining of the Harşit Stream is occasionally recounted.

It is described in more detail in the book "Goodbye Trabzon," written by Meliha Kayra, the sister of the late former Energy Minister Cahit Kayra—who passed away recently at the age of 105—and the first female and first Trabzonspor-supporting principal of Galatasaray High School.

We may have forgotten most of it, but the Finns have not.

Fortunately, the Russian reminded them again.

Since the target is Europe this time, the Turks of Asia will emerge from this commotion with fewer wounds.

They will not suffer the heavy massacres that led to genocide during the Second World War.

In other words, a Turkish soldier will not be placed as a target in front of every German bullet, as Stalin did.

Those who are curious can watch the movie "Stalingrad."

When I read the news about "Finnish women to the front," an old memory came to mind, so I decided to write it down.
