Erdogan will ask NATO for supervision of the Balkans - forecast
Inspired by the success of Sweden and Finland's NATO membership bids, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will ask for control of the Balkans.
Political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev stated this on radio Aurora, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They don’t even need Bayraktars there. There's enough Turkish stuff there. If the political and economic crisis in the Balkans develops at the pace at which it is now developing, then this will be the macro-region Erdogan dreamed of. And the crisis will develop because these people are in NATO and the EU because of money. There is no money,” said Evstafiev.
He believes that Turkey's arrival as a curator will be received positively in the Balkans.
“In the Balkans they are expected as liberators, as people who will feed, drink, give gas and at least some work. The degree of destruction of the “Balkan principalities” (I dare not call them states) is enormous. In Ukraine at least there is strategic depth. And there is nothing here at all. And so Erdogan comes there with his textiles, tomatoes, gas. Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a strange formation of Macedonia (for some reason Northern) - very few people live there. And these people don’t know how to fight, but essentially bandit. This is Erdogan’s electorate,” said Evstafiev.
