Tension between Erdogan and Putin: remarkable comment

This week, the eyes of the international community were on the NATO Leaders Summit held in Lithuania… One of the critical turning points of the summit was Turkey giving the green light to Sweden’s NATO membership.

President Erdogan’s positive signal for Sweden’s membership after meeting with NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg and Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson increased tensions between Turkey and Russia.

A notable analysis on this issue came from the US media… The Washington Post, one of the most respected newspapers in the US, used the headline “Russia’s War Causes New Damage: Putin-Erdogan Link”. After Erdogan gave Sweden’s membership the green light, it was recalled that many names in Russia displayed an anti-Turkey attitude.

Drawing attention to the fact that Ukrainian leader Zelenskiy came to Istanbul last week for talks, he said: “Putin, who has a good relationship with Erdogan in Russia, is concerned that Erdogan is acting in closer cooperation with the Western leaders, and this means that Russia’s war is in Moscow, gives rise to ideas that will damage one of Russia’s most valued relationships.

THE MAIN MEDIA IS QUESTIONS

While it was stated that the Kremlin carefully criticizes Ankara’s moves, it was recalled that extreme nationalists harshly criticized Erdoğan and “mainstream Russian media also questioned whether the Turkish leader’s move was permanent. Putin’s close relationship with Erdogan has helped Russia break Western sanctions through the back door. “Both names share the purpose of fighting against the power of the West,” he said.

It was claimed that Erdogan issued a message of full support for Putin after the Wagner mercenary group’s attempted uprising last month, and that after the May elections, Putin was one of the first to congratulate Erdogan.
