ok thats the domestic policy, lets talk about foreing policy syria failure righ now while we are discussing this there is an opertation to take raqqa back and we are not even part of it, iraq same not part of it, egypt non existance relations big failure, israel idont know i heard that we are on good terms with tem but with akp and erdogan you will never know, eu well our relations with eu used to be all about trade goods exports emports all used to be all of that good staff, but rigth now its all about refugees this refugee that refugees and while we took the refugees, we have nothing to show for it erdogan told us that he will get us free visa form eu and even small thing like that he failed.....
AKP has fuckeg big after 2011 thank to arab spring.
"Zero Problem" was awesome and ambitous policy, for the first time we had a good relationship with Syria, Iran, Russia....then come the arab spring.
After Ben Ali of Tunisia, Moubarak of Egypt, Khadafi of Libya.....everybody (and not just Erdogan) was thinking Assad will lose his throne too.
Of course USA and France was already making pression to Turkey to abondon Assad (Erdogan was still calling Assad his brother at that time) but finally choice to follow USA convinced that Assad will lose.
At the same time seing that the new govt in Tunisia and Egypt was lead by MB he choose to close relationship with Israel, hoping to make Turkey the new leader of the region (which lead to Erdogan rock star visite in the new democratie countrys).
But Assad managed to rest in power, and worst Egypt's democratie experience was lost thank to Sisi.
Turkey lose Russia and Iran too because they sided with Assad, and then UE relation gone bad because they accuse Turkey to support Isis against the Kurds, and to don't keep the refuges.
AKP didn't make thousand error in foreign policy, they only make one big mistake which lead to this situation today.
Side note : the refugees deal is a
good deal. Yes Turkey will certainly not have neither visa free or advance in Eu negocation....but this is only thing which protect Turkey against UE's economic sanction after HDP's deputy are imprisoned.
