You see, this here is the problemBecause I want relationships that can benefit Turkey and I am not looking at it ideologically.
What is in Turkey's interests most of the time overlaps with their own interests
And the EU wouldnt just sit and watch ppl who they deemed inferior to actually pass their own interests rather than the interest of the Mighty West!
Again, trade you have with Europe dwarfs the rest, which is true. However, have you asked yourself which party gains the most from this deal? The answer is Turkey! Turkey is dependent on exports to EU but the EU itself isnt dependent on Turkey! The EU can find many other trade sources other than Turkey! If the EU did act as you said, the customs union would have been updated long ago tbhTrade we have with Europe dwarfs Africa and the gulf and the potential is much greater. Friendship with poor insignificant countries isn't a priority for me. (no offense to Albania)
That is again wrongFor a growing economy it is important to have markets. You can make a fighter better than F22 but if everybody hates you, nobody will buy it. Do you understand?
Take the KSA as an example! The TURKEY-KSA relations have reached bottoms low for 3 years straight, yet in the last year, they asked for Bayraktar TB2 from Erdo. Erdo himself sated that he doesnt know what the Saudis are thinking by funding Turkey's enemies while asking for Tb2 from Turkey!
The moment you make better planes than the F22, countries will wag their tails for you even if you are their worst enemy. Just look at China, now that they provide top class technology at only 60% of the price of the US, even Western countries cant even say no China like the UK and Italy
Your belief with all due respect is wrong in this aspect
