OPERATION MOHAMED 2006Hypothetical scenario about Turkish attack on Bulgaria in 2006Best played as Turkey against Bulgaria 1. UNIT COLOUR 1.1. Bulgarian units
1.2. Turkish units
2. BACKGROUND 2.1. 1984-1989 Forced Bulgarisation of the Turkish minority in Bulgaria started in summer 1984. By then there were 700.000 - 1.000.000 Turks. There were clashes between Bulgarians (troops, villagers) and members of the Turkish minority. On 10 May 1989 travel restrictions to foreign countries were partly lifted. End of May grave disturbances in regions inhabited by members of the Turkish minority. Todor Zhivkov held a speech on 29 May 1989, in which he demanded of Turkey to open its borders in order to receive all 'Bulgarian Muslims', who wanted to live there. Thereupon followed an exodus till August 1989 of over 300.000 Bulgaro-Turks to Turkey. On 10 November 1989 Zhivkov was replaced by Peter Mladenow and by the end of that year communism fell and democracy was established. 2.2. 2005-2006 Muslim brothers (hard-core Islamic party) won elections for Turkish parlament. Islamists created government and adopted new constitution that established Islamic Republic of Turkey. Turkey left NATO and all other European and Atlantic integrations. American soldiers and equipment were retreated from Turkey to Greece. Turkey gave full support to all Islamic terrorist organizations throughout the world. USA finds themselves in hard situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Turks wanted restoring of Ottoman Empire in its full power. First step was annexation of Turkish part of Cyprus. Greece only protested. Bulgarian Turks who lives in few eastern Bulgarian districts (Khaskovo,Burgas,Varna and Ruse) demanded succession from Bulgaria, country applicant for NATO and EU. Bulgarian government rejected. Turkey gave full support to Bulgarian Turks and demanded from Bulgaria these four districts. Bulgaria rejected again. Turkey sent weapons and volunteers to Bulgaria. In January 2006 Bulgarian Turks started rebellion against Bulgaria. Bulgaria sent its armed forces to fight against rebels and after few months in April 2006 Bulgarians successfully repelled Turks to the Turkish border. Turkey described this as ethnic cleansing and decided to protect Bulgarian Turks. Nationalism grew in both countries and war seems to be inevitable. Both countries mobilized themselves and started preparations for war. Few minutes after midnight on 1st May 2006 Turks made attack on Bulgarian armed forces along border. Operation "Mohamed" has started... 3. Events
4. THEATER OPTIONS Theater Options are available only for Turks:
5. STRATEGY 5.1. For Turkish player peration "MOHAMED" has three phases
5.2. For Bulgarian player Carefully read Turkish strategy. You must hold as long as you can front on the border. When Turks breach front you should concentrate your forces in Khaskovo and Burgas cities and defend them as long as you can. If these two cities falls there are small chances that you'll won the war. Russian and Greek help is very important especially Russian Black Sea Fleet. I think Bulgarian player can't win without military help. |
