DW: Erdogan launches provocations against Cyprus because he is not afraid of EU and US sanctions

The attitude of Ankara and specifically of the Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan against Megalonisos recently analyzes in a publication the German news network of Deutsche Welle, characteristically pointing out that “Turkey is provoking Cyprus because it is not afraid of sanctions from the European Union and the United States.”

“Ankara now supports a hard line of two separate states for the settlement of the Cyprus problem. The Turkish press presents plans that predict that Famagusta, a tourist resort under Turkish Cypriot administration, will bring economic growth. “ He emphasizes the maneuvers that the Turkish president is making with the USA and the EU, but also how much the Turkish economy is affected by the Washington-Ankara relations.

“Turkish diplomacy considers that, unlike the other fronts it has created in recent years, Cyprus has room for maneuver, without being threatened so far with sanctions by the EU and the United States. The balances from the Middle East, Africa to developments in Tunisia, from the Eastern Mediterranean to Afghanistan, are what will determine Turkey’s relations with the United States. “Essentially, the bad relations between Biden and Erdogan so far have a negatively negative effect on the Turkish economy,” he said.
