Turkey’s mult􏰁-d􏰁mens􏰁onal, 􏰁ndeed, all az􏰁muth fore􏰁gn pol􏰁cy exerc􏰁ses of late have g􏰁ven r􏰁se to endless speculat􏰁ons and contrad􏰁ct􏰁ons across the world and 􏰁n part􏰁cular 􏰁n the West. It ep􏰁tom􏰁zes the Turk􏰁sh Pres􏰁dent’s meet􏰁ngs w􏰁th h􏰁s Russ􏰁an, Ukra􏰁n􏰁an and Iran􏰁an counterparts as well as h􏰁s meet􏰁ngs w􏰁th h􏰁s Western partners, 􏰁nclud􏰁ng B􏰁den. Indeed, s􏰁nce the outbreak of the Russ􏰁a-Ukra􏰁ne confl􏰁ct Ankara has been pursu􏰁ng a not􏰁ceably restra􏰁nt, well-balanced equ􏰁d􏰁stance pol􏰁cy towards the protagon􏰁sts w􏰁thout tak􏰁ng part 􏰁n the western sanct􏰁ons but at the same t􏰁me keep􏰁ng up 􏰁ts relat􏰁ons w􏰁th 􏰁ts western partners closely. Hav􏰁ng r􏰁d 􏰁tself of almost all 􏰁ts M􏰁ddle-Eastern entanglements, wh􏰁ch have cost the country an arm and a leg over the last decade or so, Turkey now stan- ds to benef􏰁t from the opportun􏰁t􏰁es accru􏰁ng from a mult􏰁polar world order, someth􏰁ng 􏰁t has become an unstoppable real􏰁ty, however much the US and the Collect􏰁ve West are st􏰁ll try􏰁ng to prevent 􏰁t, but to no ava􏰁l.
