Turkish President Erdogan's Key Role in 'New Syria' and the Stability of the Middle East

turkey, syria, libya, nagorno-karabach - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been successful in the geopolitical arena, particularly in Syria, Libya, and Nagorno-Karabach.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has achieved significant success in the past year, especially in the geopolitical landscape. In the 'new Syria,' Turkey has played a crucial role in supporting the opposition and hosting Syrian refugees. Turkey is set to contribute to the reconstruction efforts in Syria and aims to establish significant agreements, including energy supply projects. Erdogan's strategic moves in Nagorno-Karabach and Libya have further strengthened Turkey's influence in the region. Despite facing challenges from the EU regarding its membership negotiations, Turkey remains a powerful NATO partner with a strategic position that is valued by Western allies. The recent acquisition of an Italian aerospace company by a successful Turkish drone manufacturer, Baykar, highlights Turkey's technological advancements. President-elect Joe Biden has acknowledged Turkey's military strength under Erdogan's leadership and the country's key position in the Syrian conflict. While Erdogan and incoming US President Donald Trump have differing views on certain issues like Israel and Hamas, they both recognize the importance of the Kurdish question. Turkey's stance on the Kurdish militia YPG and its efforts to address Kurdish aspirations through economic investments and potential peace agreements reflect Erdogan's complex foreign policy priorities. The potential for a peace deal between Turkey and the Kurds, especially with the involvement of PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, could mark a significant step towards resolving decades-long conflicts in the region.
