>The Turkish association of companies which offered to build the Rail Baltica track route for a cheaper price than its competitors in a tender, has been excluded from the procurement on the recommendation of the State Security Service (VDD), Latvian Television’s De Facto broadcast of September 17 reported.
Turkey gets taking them L’s
Didn’t Erdogan tell us that Turkey could part ways from EU? So no reason for him to be mad, right?
*”According to De Facto’s information, one of the Turkish association’s companies has close cooperation with commissioning agents from Russia. Turkish Holdings IC has built several bridges in St. Petersburg, a Pulkovo International Airport terminal, and a toll high-speed highway between Moscow and St. Petersburg.*
*Currently, IC Holdings is building the first Turkish nuclear power plant, along with Russian construction firm Titan-2, on orders from Rosatom. In May, the first batch of nuclear fuel to the power plant was delivered. Vladimir Putin attended the symbolic event remotely and granted permission to hand over the certificate to Turkey.”*
This is a political decision with the aim to exclude Russian connected businesses. It is straightforward. However, the insuniation that Turkey is an unreliable geopolitical actor through vague reasons like “security concerns” seems to give the idea that Latvia is acting on a broader consensus within the region, perhaps the EU, aimed to hurt Turkey for double dealing.
