Erdogan’s new geopolitical doctrine aims to stop gravitating into the Western orbit and become a regional power, which would imply that loyalty to Anglo-Jewish interests in the Middle East would be called into question.
Erdogan, the Last Ottoman Sultan
Until now, Turkey has been polarized between a secular nationalism, typical of the more developed urban sectors, and a traditional Islamism in which the most disadvantaged rural population have taken refuge. Erdogan, the new “father of the fatherland” (Atatürk), would have as an unequivocal objective the implementation of the Islamic-Erdoganist state, which would mean the end of the secular state that in 1923 was established by the Father of Modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal, who believed “Turkey’s secularism and Europeanisation were the best means to transform its country into a modern industrial nation”, thus Kemalism left as a legacy an identity crisis in Turkish society: Europeanised but not integrated into the European institutions and Muslim but foreign to the Islamic world.
Double Erdogan Game?
Erdogan refused to participate in the western sanctions against Moscow and bought from China HQ-9 air defense missiles and expressed his desire to integrate into the New Silk Road allowing investments of the China Industrial and Commercial Bank (ICBC). Turkey has also formally applied for membership of the BRICS, an economic structure initially composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and recently joined by Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
It would be a missile in the waterline of the US economic strategy to isolate Russia and China and also, it would have forbidden the US to use its airspace to launch an offensive against Iran, Erdogan would be an obstacle to the design of the new Greater East by Israel and the US.
Indeed, Erdogan’s new geopolitical doctrine aims to stop gravitating in the Western orbit and become a regional power, which would imply that loyalty to Anglo-Turkish interestsJews in the Middle East would be in question due to Erdogan’s support for the Palestinian faction Hamas and the ensuing confrontation with Israel, as well as the all-out war declared against the Kurdish PPK and its Syrian ally the PYD that would clash with the new geopolitical strategy of the US to for the area
Coup de Main Against Erdogan?
Erdogan would have already become an insecure ally for the US as well as a hindrance to the design of the new cartography of the Middle East. In this situation and without the protective umbrella of the EU (by postponing “sine die” the accession of Turkey as a full member of the EU), Erdogan’s fate would already be decided by the Pentagon so that despite the failed attempt to attack the military in Ankara and Istanbul, the Turkish army (TSK) could be the protagonist of a new “virtual” or “post-modern” coup that will end Erdogan’s mandate, recalling the ‘soft blow’ of 1997.
This coup will have the blessings of Washington to have left Erdogan a useful pawn for the US in the new global geopolitical scenario emerged after the return to the recurrent endemism of the Cold War between the USA and Russia, Syria and Turkey as continental carriers of Russia and USA respectively.
