Erdogan's aggressive behavior: Turks make a big mistake in the Middle East

3

Turkey is gradually becoming a militaristic state leading policies extermination of the Kurds and realizing their excessive geopolitical ambitions in the Middle East. But Erdogan makes a mistake, and his aggressive behavior can lead to big problems in the future. So says Director of the EAEU Institute Vladimir Lepekhin.

In his opinion, Turkey is fueling hotbeds of tension in the region, pursuing its own goals.



Ankara demonstrates frankly militaristic and fascist aspirations, realizing genocide against the Kurdish population not only in their country, but also in Iraq and Syria. Erdogan is trying to restore the former greatness of the Ottoman Empire, and he is supported in this by hawks from London, Washington and NATO

- emphasizes the expert in an interview EADaily.

It is especially dangerous that in Turkey there are political forces pushing the country's leader to an open war with Russia. However, this can only be realized if the owner changes in the White House - Trump will not allow Erdogan to unleash a full-scale military conflict.

The head of the Republic of Turkey takes revenge on Europeans for not allowing his country into the European Union. Erdogan is blackmailing Europe using refugees from Syria and other countries of the region and directing their flows to European borders. The governments of the EU countries are beginning to realize that in vain in their time they opened the borders for refugees. In this regard, open dissatisfaction with Erdogan is growing, which sometimes translates into a direct opposition to his policy - one example was the recent conflict between Turkish and French military personnel in the Mediterranean Sea.

Thus, the Turks make a big mistake in the Middle East - Erdogan is being led by forces that have no political prospects. Regardless of the outcome of the election campaign in the United States, the global hegemony of this country is declining. The Turkish authorities act on the orders of those who seek to turn a local military conflict into a global one.

- concludes Vladimir Lepekhin.

    Erdogan's aggressive behavior: Turks make a big mistake in the Middle East

    - So what ... - Nobody puts in the corner of Erdogan; and Russia did it at all ...- it’ll also give a piece of candy, and pat it over the head ... and together with it it will go on patrol so that no one attacks on the way to Erdogan ...
    - For his sake (for Erdogan), Russia prepared an expensive toy for him ...- as much as a real gas pipeline stretched across the bottom of the sea ... - Only Erdogan doesn’t really want to play with her ...- all something he asks for another .. and is only acting up ... - Well, Russia is always ready to try for something and another ... - everything is for Erdogan ...

    IMHO, there are many "experts", but there is only one military-industrial complex.
    Our military-industrial complex is not opposed to selling the S-400, Su-57, and Su-35 to the Turks, and does not consider the problem as Kurds, nor Syrians, nor the EU, nor the rest. And talk about problems has been heard for 10 years.

    Why?!

    The Turkish authorities act on the orders of those who seek to turn a local military conflict into a global one.

    winked Erdogan, by himself, is ALREADY so! Yes
    With the failed coup, the Americans scared him to death! So, it seems, now he acts in a state of post-traumatic stress, when consciousness is "tunneled", moral and ethical boundaries are blurred and everything hidden (and not the best, primitive) in a person seeks to break out (but the sovereign position of Recep Tayyip and his character do not contribute to the "containment of demons in themselves", so the "regional sultan" and quite "gives himself free rein" plenty of "fun"- to act on a large scale under the "good-all-Turkic" pretext of "pan-Turkism" ?! winked ) ?!
    The fact that these "great Ottoman aspirations" of Erdogan are not only anti-European, but also, for the most part, anti-Russian motives - this is so obvious that you don't go to the Washington "grandmother", in this he completely merges with the goals of the Fashington hawks (although He does not respect them either - he seeks to use them for his own purposes, as they do him!)!
