The genie is now out of the bottle

This phrase is his Akar, the Turkish Minister of War Don’t just explain it eloquent to Naive I expectFor what they believed in Greece, how could this genie be put back in the bottle, but it has a broader meaning.

Türkiye now feels based on the day geopolitical reality And its internal dynamicscan move Independently From the West just maintain some interesting relations with it.

With regard to its new geopolitical reality Middle East and Eastern Mediterraneanin a position to do so Blackmail the Westwithout having to recognize it

the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia He allies himself with Russia in OPEC+ to maintain pressure on Western democracies, blatantly ignoring the United States — and thus Biden’s latest campaign ended in failure. At the same time, with mediation from China, a window of communication was opened with Iran, which until today was its sworn enemy. In fact, it applied to participate in the Shanghai Pact in complete opposition to Western strategy. As for the much-vaunted “Abraham Accords” with Israel, not only did Saudi Arabia join, but Netanyahu’s policy of fatal embrace with the far right facilitates this. Mohammed bin Salman in violation of these promises

At the same time Egypt It is rumored, and perhaps accurate, how he sells missiles to Russia to support it in its war against Ukraine, while taking steps to rapprochement with Turkey, and the only controversial issue between them remains the issue of Libya, where he basically invites Turkey to participate. Areas of influence – after all, there is Egypt maintaining a strategic alliance with Russia and Haftar. Thus, after its diplomatic engagement with the Emirates and Egypt, it appears that it is emerging from utter isolation.

And this is because, in a broader sphere, a united front of forces is being formed starting from Russia and encompassing Iran and going all the way to … Brazil and Venezuela, while spreading out over a large part of Africa – with China as its ever-stronger nerve-center. And Ukraine war but also The increasing confrontation between China and the United States over Taiwan Pressure to strengthen the cohesion of the Eurasian bloc. At the same time, within the West itself and above all in the countries of Europe, the jump, if not geometric, growth of the Muslim population creates a new geopolitical weapon in the hands of Islam (Cayley’s case is a by-product of this new reality).

Under these circumstances, Türkiye is gaining increasing potential To move comfortably between the two blocs or rather to economically exploit its relationship with the West with its huge exports and capital inflows. At the same time, it systematically strengthens all the forces hostile to the West – direct confrontation with the USA and NATO over the issue of Finland’s accession to the alliance, not to mention Sweden, is not at all accidental – and also ignores the West. sanctions against Russia.

Europe and America no longer really have the ability to effectively control the broader geopolitical field in the Middle East and therefore relatively large or medium powers such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and even Türkiye To gain high potential for political, economic and geostrategic independence.

Turkey’s systematic efforts, at least since the time of Turgut Ozal in the late 1980s to achieve an all-azimuth policy, have been going on for thirty years: to consolidate relations with the Turkic-speaking republics of Central Asia and Azerbaijan. The rise of the leadership of the Islamic world in Europe – which is exactly what the conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque symbolizes. Interventions in Cyprus, in shattered Arab Syria, in Iraq and Libya, bloody repression of the Kurds, threats of expansion towards Greece and Armenia. So this is not a dream of Erdogan or Kilisdar Oglu, but a very realistic policy for Turkey and a very dangerous one for us.

However, many of them were surprised again small elites From the statements of Cavusoglu and Akar, as they were once again ready to believe that the difficulties Erdogan is facing due to the devastating earthquake can magically lead to a new Zebica and complacency. They learn nothing, precisely because they move on a parasitic surface of things. The same is largely true of the misfits who conduct the diplomacy of the Grand Transatlantic Alliance. They still expect Türkiye to return. Besides, they are systematically pressuring Greece to show “understanding” and disarm the Greek people ideologically and possibly to reduce defense spending as well, as declared by Tsipras and Compania.

but The genie is already out of the bottle And Greece has no other way than the one that the people of Finland and Ukraine have shown us. And above all, to change the spirit of youth and people into a competitive, productive and resistant spirit from every point of view. Because unfortunately there are still many people who argue that the Aegean Sea belongs to its fish and that “we don’t need fences”. And only on the basis of such spirit and determination should we let the sleeping West understand how the easy times of domination have passed, how the neo-Ottoman genie will not enter the bottle of the West again and that its survival passes through survival. Greece. For Macron, despite his failures, that seemed to be all he could do.
