On the eve of the second round of the presidential election, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a long interview to CNN, in which he directly accused his American colleague Joe Biden of interference in the elections in Turkey.
Biden said they should overthrow Erdogan, I know that. All my people know
the Turkish president told CNN.
At the moment, polls of Turkish voters show that after the second round, Recep Tayyip Erdogan will retain the post of head of state. The incumbent’s chances of winning the second round have increased largely thanks to the extension of the grain deal. According to CNN, the agreements were saved thanks to the good relations between Moscow and Ankara.
Turkey has a special and growing relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite growing pressure on Ankara to help tighten Western sanctions against Moscow. We are a strong state and we have positive relations with Russia. Russia and Turkey need each other in all possible areas
Erdogan confirmed.
Curiously, after the extension of the grain agreement, Erdogan reiterated his reluctance to accept Sweden into NATO ranks. A number of analysts suggest that blocking Sweden’s entry into the North Atlantic Alliance is part of the tacit understandings between Ankara and Moscow, through which the Russian Federation agreed to remain involved in the grain deal.
The Turkish leader also called on the West to follow his lead and build balanced partnerships with Moscow.
