« Since coming to power in 2002, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has overseen a radical transformation of the country. Under his leadership, Ankara has parted ways with the United States and Europe, embraced Russia and other revisionist powers, and transformed from a frail democratic regime into an authoritarian one » says Carnegie Europe.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine presents Erdoğan with a major conundrum: how to balance Turkey’s ambivalent relationship with Moscow and Ankara’s erratic allegiance to NATO.
