Turkey's Shift Toward the West
The article indicates that Turkey is gradually moving back toward the Western camp, after years of rapprochement with Russia. Ankara has reaffirmed its relationships with NATO and the European Union, particularly as its dependence on Moscow decreases due to economic and security tensions, such as the 2015 crisis with Russia and the purchase of the S-400 missile system. Additionally, economic challenges like inflation and the 2023 earthquake have prompted Turkey to reduce its reliance on Russia and strengthen its ties with Washington and Europe, including seeking diverse energy sources and developing military relations with NATO. Meanwhile, its relations with Russia remain limited and shaped by overlapping and diverging interests.
