Over the past decade, Turkey, through President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has pursued a broadly successful strategy of pursuing its expansionist ambitions, becoming the center of the Muslim and Turkic-speaking populations of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus of this strategy was and is the exploitation of the passivity or non-reaction respectively shown to the ambitions of Turkey by the important countries acting in the International system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against this passivity of the West, Turkey took advantage of the West’s inability to manage the possibility of losing the highly strategically important geographical area held by Turkey. \u0399n addition, there was the fear of an immigration problem that put the EU inactive vis-.-vis Turkey, enabling Turkey to exploit this element (the immigration-refugee problem) as a lever of pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this must be done up to a point. When as a country you exceed this break-even point, Turkey refuses to limit its desires, then it provokes the anger of other countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turkey now sees constant impasses in front of it, and this is due to the fact that it does not seek to find solutions in accordance with international law, because it believes that international law is against its interests and will. The result of Turkey’s strategy is to accumulate opponents at a steady pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is made possible by the agreement with a defense assistance clause between France and Greece. The conflict of interests or the threats that two countries receive will be the reasons that will bring them together in the field of a conflict, and not an agreement signed by both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turkey’s relations with the United States are deteriorating, despite the US desire to keep Turkey in the West. This has begun and is clearly bothering even the closest US allies in the Mediterranean region. This is now evident, where Turkey has also lost the specific support it received from Italy and Spain, countries with which it has agreed on the market for major armaments contracts. Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has indicated he is unwilling to accept any humiliating behavior by Turkey towards Italy, such as the Italian company ENI’s obstruction of drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u03a4he France-Italy-Greece alliance with Turkey is a matter of time. Spain, on the other hand, a manufacturer in the construction of the Turkish aircraft carrier but also in the Turkish frigates, shows through the speech of the leader of the Spanish People’s Party at the conference in Valencia that it will support Greece in the Mediterranean and the interests of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Tomorrow’s Spanish government of Partido Popular will fully support the protection of your Greek borders and national interests in the Mediterranean against threats from other neighboring countries. We are on the side of Greece as an EU country beyond any other interest.” Pablo Casado leader of the People’s Party of Spain to the Prime Minister of Greece Konstantinos Mitsotakis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With its strategy, Turkey managed to unify the European south, while at the same time the defense assistance between France and Greece will later include both Italy and Spain. This alliance will also be used in the future to stop German hegemony in the EU. If Turkey continues this disastrous course with the countries of the West, Germany could in the future reconsider its relationship and its role with Turkey, as Turkey continues to produce problems in equally burning security and energy issues for both Germany and the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turkey’s problem is the inability to show elementary flexibility so that it does not go so far as to be marginalized by the EU. The source of Turkey’s problem is the timeless domestic production of the illusion of a military superpower. Turkey continues to postpone hydrocarbon exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean through military use, threatening Europe’s energy security (other than Europe through the migration-refugee problem) at a time when energy prices are the biggest challenge in history of the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The consequences of Turkey’s policy are becoming more and more felt at the level of Turkish society. This could lead to a violent overthrow of the current regime while causing a series of developments in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
