“Erdogan’s” turn in foreign policy.
Turkey’s support for Sweden joining NATO has caused a lot of controversy regarding Erdogan turning his back on his Russian ally and returning to the American side. At the same time, according to analysts, the trust of America and European countries towards the Turkish president has decreased a lot.
Abdulbari Atwan, a prominent analyst of the Arab world, wrote in his editorial in the newspaper Raye Alyoum about Erdogan’s policies: Turkey after Sweden has fulfilled most of its demands, including not supporting the opposition Kurds and the US agreeing to Turkey’s acquisition of F-16 fighter jets worth 20 billion dollars and canceling the economic blockade of this country, Sweden agreed to join NATO. Meanwhile, only a few weeks have passed since the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden.
Since Erdoğan’s meeting with the President of Ukraine and the announcement of his support and his country’s accession to NATO, it was clear that the Turkish President has decided to return to the arms of America and NATO, warmer than before. As Turkey’s economic situation worsened, and Erdoğan’s trips to Arab countries to attract capital were fruitless, he realized that returning to the embrace of Western countries through the gate of Sweden is the best way to fix his country’s economic situation, but this path is not without danger. will not be.
We have said many times that the trust of America and Europeans in Erdogan has decreased a lot because he has used the issue of immigrants as a pressure lever in addition to supporting Russia at the height of the war in Ukraine and obtaining the S-400 missile systems instead of the American Patriot. Who will guarantee that these actions of Erdogan will not be repeated again?
