Turkey’s President Erdogan has successfully exploited his strategic position in NATO: Apparently he’s getting paid well for his “yes” to Sweden and Finland joining NATO. With dollars. And with greater freedom in the fight against the Kurds.
F16 fighter jets, dollars and a few human rights – this is how one could cynically summarize the deal that NATO has probably made with Turkish President Erdogan so that he will no longer block the accession of Finland and Sweden. By Tuesday, the NATO member had made use of its veto right and then surprisingly gave it up.
“Erdogan has once again shown his pragmatism and that he is capable of 180-degree turns when necessary,” Turkey specialist Timothy Ash wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
