I listened to an interview of Davutoglu talking about what Turkey's orientation is. He says Turkey is focusing on all directions. On EU, Muslim world and Turkic world.
If we look at EU progress, it is not going well and even if we dance like a tamed bear we won't get access.
Muslim world. I regret to say it but we failed there too. Egypt coup was huge blowback for Erdogan. We lost our biggest ally to military dictators. We can forget hegemon in middle-east without Egypt. If we look at remaining muslim countries. Also in huge term oil.
What remains? The turkic world. A continent of stability, trust, mutual interest in energy, military and politics.
I think Turkey should still have multi polar foreign policy but I think it became clear where our priorities should be.
