The value of a leader, of a government, of a state is evident when there are extreme, extraordinary circumstances. Against the background of the confused EU, which prefers to commit suicide economically rather than negotiate politically, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is showing an exceptional state reflex, said journalist Kalina Androlova in “Politically Incorrect” on BNR.
Turkish strategists are well aware of the unlimited opportunities for the Turkish economy from the rift between Europe and Russia.
Turkey will become a major hub for raw materials, transport and financial channels with the Russian Federation. In fact, Erdogan has always wanted to elevate Turkey to a respectable macro-regional power with vast spheres of influence. That is why, even at this difficult time, Turkey is diversifying its foreign policy. It is balanced between rival players. The Turkish president has officially condemned the war in Ukraine.
At the same time, Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu gave a sharp interview to Sabah newspaper, where he openly says: “Globalization is over. Turkey has not given in to globalization. If we had surrendered, we would have been worse than Ukraine. “
The Turkish interior minister added that all countries should unite around Erdogan’s model. According to him, after the end of the Cold War, the countries of the world were moving towards decentralization, but now things have changed.
“Globalism has nothing more to give to the world. We all see the bankruptcy of the UN, NATO and global organizations around the world. They have no value. I do not think that Europe as a community makes sense. Because this Europe is governed by the rules of Soros. “The one who wants Osman Kavala to be released is the killer of children in Syria and Ukraine,” Soylu said.
Erdogan with hot news: Ukraine and Russia agreed on 4 things, only …
Shockingly sincere words from the interior minister of a country that has the second largest army in NATO. I will remind you that the Turkish authorities accuse businessman Osman Kavala of financing protests against Erdogan on the model of color revolutions and at the request of the Western vector, in particular the Democratic Party in the United States.
Turkey’s interior minister spoke directly about Soros’s network cells, which are a tool for operational influence in the internal affairs of foreign countries, and made it clear that Ukraine is a victim of globalist doctrine. According to the interior minister, the success of Erdogan and his party is due to resistance to neoliberal fundamentalism, which is destroying the world.
In fact, Erdogan cannot afford to tell the truth so clearly. That is why he gave the opportunity to his interior minister. Suleiman Soylu voiced the opinion of the inhabitant of the White Palace in Ankara – Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey says it will solve its own national problems, that it will be flexible, and that only when it sees fit will it support the Western vector.

The growth of Turkey is possible only if it moves in a double track, in which we already see that Erdogan is very skilful. This smart approach has given Erdogan a series of landmark visits, including to the Israeli president, which has not happened since 2008.
Erdogan became the star who rose amid the war in Ukraine. He re-established all his conflicted relationships. He even called for Turkey’s swift accession to the EU, no matter that his interior minister criticized the European Union. From now on, the importance of Turkey will grow.
At the moment, Europe sees Ankara, which it has long underestimated, as a real salvation. Following the German chancellor’s visit to Erdogan, Turkish newspapers reported that Olaf Scholz had “defended” Turkey’s decision on sanctions against Russia.
Erdogan said Turkish citizens will freeze without Russian gas, so he will not take part in the sanctions.
Scholz and Erdogan spoke mainly about “energy co-operation”. That is, Turkey is becoming a diplomatic center and mediator, and its position is being quietly encouraged by Europe as a vital option for contact with Russia.
Erdogan spoke harshly about sanctions against Russia
However, Turkey is a strategic player in the post-Soviet space, where through economic investments and not without the help of the United States it has achieved exceptional influence in a number of countries such as Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan and others. America played on its own in Ukraine.
And now, with even greater passion, he will return to the old scheme: increasing Turkey’s weight in the post-Soviet space as a counterweight to Russia’s ambitions for reintegration. The American press immediately announced that the United States should improve its relations with Turkey.
But along with warming relations between the United States and Turkey, US pressure on Erdogan to step up Moscow’s rejection will intensify.
Washington has already asked Turkey to provide S-400 systems to Ukraine, but has been refused. The United States has even tried to seduce Erdogan with an informal proposal that it could return Turkey to the F-35 consortium and offer it the Patriot.
Erdogan replied: “They want to create a mess, they are wondering how to hit Turkey and create problems for it.” At the NATO summit, Erdogan said Turkey would fulfill its role as a NATO member, but that the US arms embargo on the country was creating inconsistencies.
Turkey is targeting its European partners France and Italy, with whom it has had an idea since 2017 to co-produce SAMP / T, an air defense system that can be integrated into NATO.
It is interesting to see whether Erdogan will withstand the attempts to return Turkey to the sphere of unconditional US influence, after experiencing several color revolutions, organized coup and information war ?!
