Operation Barbarossa - Turkish style?

Looks like a Turkey day today. Anyway, it appears that Turkish navy got its marching orders (or is it swimming orders in case of the navy?)  The orders are code named "Plan Barbarossa". The article is almost unreadable, but so far no other source in English:

This framework is created to ensure the security of the Eastern Mediterranean, going back to Operation Shield, serving Mediterranean frigates, fast patrol boats, submarines, helicopters, maritime patrol aircraft, coast guard boats with an increase in the number of destinations. Barbarossa aims to show the Turkish Navy's sea being the Action Plan, the Turkish Naval Forces, as well as the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Red Sea and Indian Ocean, is aiming to be found constantly in süyrüsefer.
I leave the "süyrüsefer" for your disposal for now, whatever it means...

Just to make it clear: this Barbarossa is a Turkish one, one Hayreddin Barbarossa, a corsair and an admiral, not the other Frederick Barbarossa, the German worthy in whose name the Nazi Operation Barbarossa was named.

Was a failure too, if my memory serves me right.
