“Türkiye has started making inarticulate moans at us as a result of Brexit. On the one hand, while Europe is in a state of shock for a short time, it can be blackmailed into improving relations with Russia. On the other hand, if the plan of Germany and France to “build a fortress Europe” is being implemented, you can no longer blackmail it, you need to take advantage of the moment.
We need to look for new partners in advance, even new old partners.
As for Turkey's economic integration with the EU, everything that the EU wanted has already been achieved and everything that is possible in terms of integration with the EU has already happened a long time ago. Turkey cannot be a member of the EU for the same reason as Ukraine: sand is an unimportant substitute for oats, as O Henry wrote,” Delyagin said.
