In an article in the Turkish newspaper “Ahwal”, writer Yavuz Bidder warned about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s tools to provoke crises and build wars, saying that this strategy had led to “paralysis” of Ankara’s foreign policy and turn many of his allies against him.
Beather said: “There seems to be a bitter reality that many people dream of, even the most naive among Turkey’s friends and allies: that as long as the power structure in Ankara is under the control of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ally Dolat Bahceli, Turkey will continue to be a winning card around every corner. ” Tense zone “.
Beder believes Turkey is embracing a logic of unrest across most of the region, pointing to the words of Gallip Dalay, a fellow at the Robert Bush Academy, in a recent analysis by Reuters, that anything that undermines the status quo is beneficial to her, because the status quo is seen to conflict with her interests. .
The writer describes this Turkish position as “dangerous”, saying: “While the far-right MHP leader Bahçeli and his circle of strong supporters who transcend party borders believe they have found a golden opportunity for Turkey to be stand alone, Erdogan exposes all his weaknesses behind the image of Iron Man. ” .
Beder explains his speech by saying that Erdogan “does not have an idea of the balances that the global system puts, no matter how volatile they are, he does not speak another language and only disdains anyone who dares to stand within his power structure.”
“For Bahçeli, this is a great opportunity to affirm all his hitherto unfulfilled dreams of transforming Turkey into an expansionist state of strict security. And for Erdogan, who is aware of the growing risks to his political future, he cannot give up his dream. to rule the Islamic world. “
A fickle mindset
According to Beder, Erdogan’s foreign policy reveals his constantly fluctuating mentality, “because he firmly believes that he is capable of causing trouble, provoking crisis after crisis, in the Turkish neighborhood, even while maintaining control over his internal opponents with hate speech, intimidation, repressive measures and polarization “.
“This plan has been successful so far at home, but in all the foreign policy shocks, the outcome has not changed yet,” he said. “In the last decade, and especially since 2016, not all attempts to expand Turkey’s borders have been successful, all bearing Erdogan’s hallmark.”
The Turkish writer confirms that Erdogan “reached a dead end in Syria, did not gain any trust with Iraq and was able to turn the Arab League into a single bloc against his government.”
He added: “Erdogan was unable to penetrate the Egyptian government and lost a huge political land in Libya, and was forced to bury the mysterious ideology of the blue nation in the face of a united European Union, which led to the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots al intimidate their federal president-elect Mustafa Akinji, and now he too could become a loser. Big in the Caucasus. “
Beder believes that Erdogan’s foreign policy strategy “has reduced this policy to the point of paralysis, and many of his allies not only left his administration, but turned against him.”
