Allowed Turkey to become a competitive player

By Michael Kokkinaris

The US and the West, very slowly realized that they allowed Turkey to become a competitive player in the Eastern Mediterranean, directly threatening not only balance in the region but also their energy interests.
And of course, before they realized this reality, they would simply express their sadness if Turkey drilling in Kastellorizo, letting Greece mess with Bully, so that they can mediate to share ours with the Turks.
And it’s not just the energy interests in the Eastern Mediterranean region. It’s the security of Israel. It is the possible ignition in Libya with the emerging Turkish-Egyptian conflict and of course the Russian-Turkish wolves serving both players sharing Syrian and Libya’s clothes.
