Former US envoy: Improvement in relations between Washington and Ankara under Biden is unlikely

Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan was unable to seize the opportunity and take compromise steps on a number of issues on which former US President Donald Trump offered concessions to Turkey. Improvement in relations between Washington and Ankara under Joe Biden is also unlikely.
]
This was stated by the ex-US envoy to Syria James Jeffrey in an interview with Deutsche Welle TV and radio company.

Relations between NATO allies have been strained in recent years over a number of issues, including Turkey's purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system, the threat of sanctions against the Turkish state-owned bank Halkbank for evading anti-Iranian sanctions, and Ankara's stance on the Libyan and Syrian issues.

The S-400 is a disaster for Turkey. Buying them was historical a mistake.

- said Jeffrey, noting that this acquisition cost Ankara an exclusion from the F-35 fighter program.

Turkey acquired the Russian S-400 air defense systems in 2019, despite threats from the United States, which believes that the system potentially undermines NATO's defenses. Trump has repeatedly tried to compromise with Erdogan on this issue, but Ankara has refused to cooperate.

The new Biden administration has the same negative attitude towards Turkey's purchase of Russian air defense systems, so a warming of relations between Washington and Ankara should not be expected.

The US wants to show that it punishes rebellious countries, regardless of NATO membership. In fact, Turkey has been and remains under the control of England all its life. And the United States and England are in one bundle.

[Simon]

With England - a bunch, a bunch, but still bought the S-400 in Russia!

Simon ....With England - a bundle, a bundle, but I still bought the S-400 in Russia!

Erdogan "freaked out" at the United States because of Gulen, his ideological enemy, who organized the coup and the assassination attempt on Erdogan.
Knowing what the United States did with Gaddafi and Libya (no-fly zone), he insured himself by buying the S-400. The British ruled Erdogan through their ambassador to Turkey, Richard Moore, who became Erdogan's family friend, especially after the surrender of all the coup plotters to him. After that, Moore became the head of MI6's British intelligence.
Soon Zelensky visited him, and straight from him met with Erdogan. And after this meeting, Erdogan allocated 36 billion dollars to Ukraine for armaments, and concluded a number of agreements:
- for the joint production of UAVs,
- the construction of the Ukraine Frigate,
- supply of weapons and instructors,
And soon, the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Cavusoglu, openly declared that Turkey would support Ukraine in all matters, upon its return to Crimea. Later, Erdogan said the same. So, Erdogan, who was "offended" by the United States, was taken under the "tutelage" of England. As a result, Erdogan climbed not only to Ukraine, but also to Azeybarjan. Erdogan is not controllable for the EU and the United States, easily fell under England.
And England has hundreds of years of experience of "undercover" divorces.

I wonder, but HOW today England may контролировать Turkey?

[askort154]

venik ..I wonder how HOW can England control Turkey today?

I answered the above in "a nutshell".

I answered the above in "a nutshell".

Unconvincing. You can control it with money, critical places in industry (both export and import), and finally the armed forces. And then they tried to throw you off, it didn't work out - and after that they send one intelligence officer to "control"? Not enough to control an entire country. Rather, they try to push, but they are afraid to go too far. Moreover, both ours and the Yankees (England so, the left syavka in this scenario)

[askort154]

dauria .....Unconvincing. You can control with money

For the convincing influence of England on Turkey, it is necessary to stir up the history of the Turkish-Russian wars since 1854. And the history of the English
colonial wars. And also, the history of activities in the world, the British foreign intelligence MI-6. Their working methods.
Then "conviction" will appear

[APASUS]

Regardless of what they say in the US, they need Erdogan as an ally. For Western policy, Turkey is an outpost in the region, that's why they got by with rather narrow sanctions. But these are not sanctions, they failed a couple of deals.

[Vadim_888]

... They need Erdogan as an ally.

Turkey is needed, and Erdogan is "a blacksmith? Why do I need a blacksmith, I don't need a blacksmith"

[Ros 56]

Erdogan is scratching his turnips, are these allys, these striped ones?

[bar]

Improvement in relations between Washington and Ankara under Joe Biden is also unlikely.

And this is good news. Let the Sultan cool down a bit, it hurts too hot.

[rotmistr60]

Buying them was a historical mistake.

Therefore, the purchase of the Patriot air defense system would be a historic victory? In the photo, what Biden is a "playful rascal" with his vice and is not afraid that harassment will be attributed.

This is good for Russia. Otherwise, Istanbul will have to be turned into Constantinople ... and this is not good. There is 15 million people, according to rumors.

More, 15,67

Now relations between the United States and Turkey will reach a new level. Of course, there will be no such relations as it was before, before the Trump presidency, but the Biden administration will try to soften the differences that have arisen.
