Erdogan’s plan to close fronts in Turkey’s neighborhood – Which countries will he visit

The President of Turkey is trying to close fronts everywhere Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the last period of time – with the exception of what concerns our country as betrays the recent barrage of fighter aircraft overflights of the neighbor over inhabited Aegean islands.

THE Turkey is currently trying to normalize its relations with several of its countries Middle East, including Egypt, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

In this context, it plans a series of trips with the ultimate goal not only to close fronts but also to attract foreign investment as inflation in Turkey is currently running at a rate of… 61.1%, while the pound lost in 2021 at 44 % of its value against the dollar. In order not to completely collapse the economy, it now appears much more condescending.

Until recently, for example, it would have been unthinkable for Erdogan to shake hands with the heir to the throne of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, due to the unfavorable relations between the two countries.

Recall that in 2018 their relationship was severely tested after the assassination of Saudi dissident Jamal Kasogi by agents of Saudi Arabia, inside the consulate of that country in Istanbul.

Erdogan had directly accused top Saudi government officials, including Prince Mohammed himself, of involvement in the assassination and of obstructing the investigation into the case.

Nevertheless, days ago visited Saudi Arabia and had a warm embrace with Mohammed bin Salman, where they discussed the possibility of economic cooperation, something he will do with other neighboring countries in the near future. However, it has already entered into $ 28 billion currency swap agreements with China, Qatar, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates.
