Nasser Kandil wrote: The Russian European relationships

  • Since refusing the membership of Turkey in the European Union, the Turkish European relationship was a key to understand Erdogan's policies.
  • With the rising of the Turkish dream in Syria, Erdogan became confident of his ability to win the support of what he wants in order to achieve his project through showing the threat of targeting Turkey and the Atlantic, so he won the patriot network on his borders with Syria.
  • Erdogan raised the ceiling with an equation of presenting the credentials to Europe which supports Israel and which filled with hatred toward Syria, by showing that he is the gate of change in Syria and all what he needs is to support him by making an air embargo zone, so he needed todirect the patriot, but the disappointment of Turkey was through taking back the patriot missiles.
  • When the Russian positioning started and which led to the change of the war rules in Syria and its geography, Erdoganprovoked Russia, so Europe retreated and Erdogn was silent.
  • The issue of the Syrian refugees constituted a tool for Erdogan to avenge on Europe and to blackmail it too, so he made use of it to get money and once again for the buffer zone and later for canceling the visa to enter Europe, since ithas half of the membership in the European Union practically.
  • Europe appalled that Erdoganmay ignite the war of Aleppo, thus new stream of refugees so it accepted to lift the visa, today the war of visa is igniting because Europe is betting on the understandings.
  • Erdogan's hysteria is a European and Syrian one.
