Erdogan’s loneliness – ISNA

In recent weeks, the arrest of Istanbul mayor Akram Imamoglu and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s political rival has intensified popular protests in Turkey.

The move, which many consider political, has created serious challenges for Erdogan’s government, along with economic pressures and the value of the lira.

Under such circumstances, Alexander Dugin, a prominent Russian philosopher and theorist, has examined Turkish developments in a note.

“After the arrest of Istanbul mayor Akram Imam Oglu, serious unrest in Türkiye has begun and the country’s crisis continues to deepen,” Dogin wrote. “But for the correct analysis of the conditions, several factors need to be considered.”

“First, the mayor of Istanbul, like the mayor of Ankara, belongs to Erdogan’s liberal opposition,” he added. It is the Republican People’s Party (CHP), which represents a liberal, secular and generally European alternative against Erdogan’s party, the Justice and Development Party. This opposition is essentially focused on the West and opposed to the Islamic orientation of Erdogan’s policies. “At the same time, he has a relatively hostile stance on Russia.”

Referring to Turkey’s role in the fall of Bashar al -Assad’s government in Syria and the coming of Mohammed al -Julani, the head of the Tahrir al -Sham delegation, Erdogan himself has recently made several great political mistakes. The most important of these is his support for the seizure of power in Damascus by al -Julani militias. This is a fatal error because Erdogan has possibly made a serious impact on Turkish-Russian-Turkey-Iran relations. Now neither Russia nor Iran will come to Erdogan’s help. “The situation against him has turned and the crisis may intensify.”

Failure to interfere in Iran or Russia in Turkey

The Russian philosopher also cited allegations against Tehran and Moscow and baseless allegations of their role in Turkish internal developments: “I do not believe that Iran or Russia would interfere with Turkish unrest. Most likely, the West is trying to overthrow Erdogan. “However, his mistake is fundamental in Syria.”

“Many inside Türkiye not only did not understand Erdogan’s policy in Syria, but also condemned his policy,” Dogin said. “Only a very short -sighted politician can leave power in Syria to al -Qaeda, and although Erdogan is generally a forester politicist, I think that mistake will hurt him more than ever before.”

“Another aspect of Erdogan’s mistakes is his economic policy,” he wrote. The devaluation of the lira and the inflationary inflation weakens the whole of Türkiye’s pre -shaken economy. “Of course, his defeats in Syria and the economy, as Erdogan’s approach to the European Union, will all be trapped in Erdogan with the globalist forces and his contact with the head of the British intelligence agency.”

“As a result, the liberal, at the same time a crucifix, and as a result of the nationalist inside Türkiye, seized the opportunity and took advantage of his failures,” Dogin said. Their argument is, “We warned you that what happened in Syria would be a worse victory than defeat, the economy is collapsing, and we have a stronger orientation than Erdogan, which will never be accepted in Europe.”

“Since Türkiye has active democracy, Erdogan failed to prevent the people of Istanbul and Ankara from voting for opposition leaders in the municipal elections,” he said. Eventually Erdogan decided to imprison the mayor of Istanbul. The question of whether his action was justified is almost irrelevant. In any modern political regime, one can always find a basis for imprisonment. In modern politics, there is no innocent human being. Turkey is no exception. Therefore, the issue is merely political. “

The Russian philosopher said: “Erdogan came to the conclusion that the situation was going to be bad for him and that he had to imprison his most active opponent, Akram Imam Jaglu. However, Imamoglu is a Soros -affiliated figure supported by World Networks, and Erdogan could only be supported if he himself took a difficult position against the Soros -related faction. However, as mentioned earlier, Erdogan had previously stabbed his allies, Iran and Russia. So in the current situation we cannot support him. “

Erdogan’s political bottleneck

“This is very bad for Erdogan,” Dogin said. All of his opponents, using accumulated mistakes, have risen to the uprising and a colorful revolution has been formed. On the other hand, conservative, even army -affiliated, Eurasian tendencies who once accused Erdogan in the fake case of Arjanicon and actually rescued him more than once, will no longer be rescued. “

“In essence, Erdogan, who has betrayed his friends several times, will remain without friends,” he said. I believe his situation is unpopular. At the same time, we must be very cautious about the expanding protests, because behind them are the same organizers who are present in most of the color revolutions, including the revolution that is currently under way in Serbia. “

“At the same time, globalists are involved in the protests of a minority,” Dogin said. The majority of the protesters are ordinary people who are really unhappy with the various political excesses in leadership. Therefore, there are also objective reasons for what is happening. “It seems that Erdogan has burned his opportunities for error, but he continues to make mistakes.”

“It is difficult to predict what can correct the situation,” he said. “It may emerge from a kind of Kemalist national unity that includes moderate Islamists like members of Erdogan’s own party.”

Erdogan’s dark landscape

“In these circumstances, the question arises as to what is” Dolt Bahachley “, the leader of the Turkish National Movement Party and Erdogan’s main ally,” Dogin said. There are even rumors of his death that the authorities seem to hide. I think this is just a conspiracy. But Erdogan can no longer rely on him or his “gray wolves”, once a radical nationalist, a powerful and dangerous abandonment. “

“So, I emphasize that Erdogan’s future and his regime look dark,” he said. However,, of course, we prefer to have an independent Türkiye with an independent foreign policy as our neighbor with a friendly approach. “But Russia is ready for every rotation, even Turkey’s hostile policy.”
