Turkey is Setting a New Stand Over Balancing Acts

I want to share something intriguing and it’s about for quite a long time, Turkey's relations with the US and Russia have been a lose-lose situation: When its relations with Russia improve, its American ties decrease. A similar guideline likewise applies to Turkey's relations with NATO and Russia.

Looking at it, Ankara is currently anxious to receive a marginally more autonomous strategy inside NATO, yet this arrangement drives it into a corner. NATO, essentially on Washington's prompting, squeezes Turkey to embrace an all the more obvious arrangement and appropriately decide the position it needs to hold in the NATO-Russia balance. Moscow, as far as concerns its, doesn't anticipate that Turkey should receive an obvious strategy. It is content with Ankara's marginally free approach, as long as this doesn't infringe on its inclinations.
