Yasar Guler reiterated his country’s perseverance in following through with the policies reflected in the "Blue Homeland" idea, an irredentist strategy promoting a neo-Ottoman idea.
'Blue Homeland' exercise, a reference to Turkey’s expressed expansionist and revisionist policies, involves 20,000 military personnel, 87 warships, seven submarines, seven unmanned naval vehicles, 31 aircraft, and is scheduled to be completed by Jan. 16.
Turkey says the 'Blue Homeland 2025' exercise will take place from January 7-16, and aims to enhance the operational preparedness of its naval forces in the Black Sea, Aegean, and Mediterranean.
'Blue Homeland' joined by 'Newspeak' moniker of 'Sea of Islands' and fantastical 'Sky Homeland'. Most recent nationalist neologism cites 'Space Homeland'
