Could o Tayyip Erdogan to go to extremes with her Hellas if he believed that this is the only way to win the election? The question is rhetorical. Kemal Kilitsaroglu and the mayors Ekrem Imamoglouand Mansour Javas they have made life difficult for the Turkish president. Despite the fact that they do not agree politically, they have a common goal of winning against the “Justice and Development” party. No one seems to have the required momentum, however one of the three may lead the opposition with Meral Aksener to take over as prime minister if things don’t turn out the way Erdogan thinks. Everyone knows that the current president he has not learned to lose. From mayor of Istanbul (1994-1998), prime minister (2003-2014) and then absolute ruler of the game as president, with the Constitutional revision he carried out in 2017 greatly strengthening his powers.
His attacks in Greece are daily and in most cases are highly provocative. It is no coincidence that from New York where the UN General Assembly is held has indulged in one threat communication show against Greece even from the stage of the Organization. He is seizing a prime opportunity from New York to boost his badly damaged profile. Why is this happening; Obviously, he has estimated that the antidote to the economic hardship is the awakening of nationalist sentiments especially the compatriots who are in the depths of the country.

Conflict prevention should be the priority and not peace processes that come after a holiday. The example of Ukraine is typical where the war appeared as a very distant scenario. THE Jose Borel he rang a bell once again about Ankara’s delinquent behavior with his reply letter to Mevlut Cavusoglu, but even that is not enough.

This is why it is estimated that he will ultimately leave nothing to chance.
