You will get a nice commission check for it. This guy is just ruining Turkey, the same way Mullahs are ruining Iran. However, Turks just woke up in Istanbul and kicked his behind in the election.

The tyrant Erdogan might want very much nuclear weapons, but don't forget the Russians, they will never let neighboring country like Turkey to obtain such. If he play it a hero then Mr. Putin will make the Bosforous 25 km.wider. Conclusion, don't be a hero you tyrant
8. Erdogan is a useless human being
Talula ,   Tel Aviv   (09.05.19)
He likes to think he is a heavy-weight in the regions - but he isn't - he's just laughed at - by his own people and outside.
9. For Israel, nukes are the weapon of last resort.
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.05.19)
For the future Caliph, nukes will be the big stick that is used to kowtow all the neighboring countries. And while Israel has total control of its nukes, (if it really has any), the same can't be said for Turkey, which is always on the cusp of anarchy.
10. there is a simple reason why Israel has nukes & turkey non
(09.05.19)
Like other powers India and Pakistan Israel chose not to sign the NPT and there are no international laws obligating any country to sign.
In 1980 Turkey decided to sign the NPT which makes it illegal to posses or develop nuclear weapons.

As a member of NATO Turkey will already be protected by the American nuclear umbrella and unless Erdogan is planning to leave NATO if any other country attacks Turkey the rest of NATO is obligated to come and help Turkey.
Israel might have nukes but it doesn't have the protection from NATO that Turkey does.
11. Turkey and nuclear arms
sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (09.05.19)
It is more or less the same situation as with Iran. Can a criminal dictatorship-country, what Turkey now is, be trusted with such arms? What country can be trusted with them without several rights or/and privileges in this case above other countries,which several countries already have,since 1945,to begin with the United States and so on. It is almost to compare with the free possession of arms, allowed by the second amentmend in the US.
12. Turkey already holds US nukes via NATO's nuclear sharing
nwt   (09.05.19)
50-90 B61 bombs already at Incirlik.

So the usual pile of poo dropped for domestic propaganda.
