Turkey’s Geopolitical Evolution - From Western Dependency to Strategic Realignment

Turkey has historically been treated as a third-class country, neither fully welcomed into the EU nor genuinely valued by the US. For decades, corrupt Turkish leaders have essentially sold out the country to US interests. However, Erdogan is a game-changer; he understands the cycle of being used and discarded, unlike his predecessors. Turkey's future lies in strengthening ties with Asia and the Middle East. In Europe, Hungary stands alone as a genuine ally. Joining BRICS and exiting NATO are imperative steps for Turkey's future.
