Global South or the West. Which way will Turkey go? - Eastern Express - TVP World
On today’s episode of Eastern Express, we’re setting our sights on Ankara, where President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is juggling an act between East and West that would make any circus performer blush. When it comes to Turkey and Greece, the long-standing border disputes have resurfaced, adding another twist to this geopolitical tightrope. What does Erdoğan have in store, and how is it going to affect the region? Turkey and Greece have been at odds for decades. But recently, there’s been a flicker of hope. The Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Erdoğan sat down for a chat—not quite a peace summit, but maybe a truce in the ongoing cold war of words. The stakes couldn’t be higher. For Turkey, the Aegean dispute isn’t just a political talking point; it’s being tossed around as “reason to go to war.” Join Benjamin Lee for this episode of Eastern Express.
