Elias Stahl
The United States must question whether Erdogan is pursuing what is in Turkey’s strategic interest or the AKP’s. What is Erdogan’s vision for the Middle East, and how does it conflict with American policy goals? The US has essentially reinforced Turkey’s regional ambitions under its call for an increased Turkish regional commitment, without qualifying what that commitment is.
