Türkiye , a country that is free from major powers.
As we all know, exchanges between countries are always for the benefit of gain, and the existence of many organizations in the world is also for win-win cooperation, but there are also some organizations that exist to create more disputes.
Like The emergence of EU has enabled the integration of European economy and made trade cooperation more convenient for European countries, which is of great significance to most European countries; like SCO , it also allows member countries to better achieve cooperation and achieve economic development while maintaining regional peace! This kind of cooperation is of positive significance to member states.
However, it is not ruled out that organizations like NATO and Indo-Pacific Economic Framework are not ruled out. The purpose of such organizations is that some countries deliberately organize only to target other countries. For example, NATO is mainly aimed at the Soviet Union, and after the collapse of , it is targeting Russia. The newly launched Indo-Pacific Economic Framework by the United States is actually also surrounding China.
Of course, there are always some countries with ulterior motives who deliberately create disputes for their own interests. Their party is the same and the differences, which will also win over some countries when they need it and kick them away when they don’t need it. This is how Turkey is targeted by Western countries.
Türkiye joined NATO as early as 1952, but they wanted to join the EU, but they applied for half a century and never got what they wanted. In the final analysis, Western countries always regard them as outsiders.
Türkiye has its own unique geographic pattern because they control the Bosphorus, the only estuary of the Black Sea , which is exactly the throat of the Soviet Union. Therefore, during the US-Soviet battle for hegemony, in order to limit the Soviet Union's Black Sea Fleet, NATO won over Turkey and allowed it to join NATO smoothly, which also made the Soviet Union stuck on the issue of seaports. Later, the Soviet Union collapsed, and Türkiye's role was relatively weakened, but they could still limit Russia.
In other words, the reason why NATO accepted Turkey was mainly because it contained the Soviet Union. If it were not for this, NATO would never have won over Turkey. In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Turkey has been joining the EU but has always been excluded. Western countries cannot truly accept Turkey at all, because Turkey is incompatible with Western countries in terms of culture and belief issues. After all, Türkiye is an Islamic country, while Western countries are mainly Christian countries. This religious difference has greatly deviated their values. Therefore, wanting Western countries to accept Turkey is tantamount to seeking fish due to the tree.

The reason why Türkiye wants to join the EU is actually considering economic development. After all, Türkiye is also a country with less ideal economic development.
However, as Turkey applies again and again and again and is rejected, Turkey has gradually seen through the attitude of Western countries towards them. In fact, it is not that other conditions are not incompatible, but Western countries do not want Turkey to join.
After being teased by Western countries again and again, Turkey also realized that the most important thing is to maximize its own interests. As for the rest, it is all over the world. Therefore, Turkey has completely demonstrated its two-faced nature. As long as anyone gives them benefits, they will completely ignore the others.
In 2001, when the " Varyag " purchased by my country from Ukraine had to pass through the Bosphorus Strait, Turkey followed the instructions of the West and deliberately refused to allow the "Varyag" to pass on the grounds of affecting the safety of the waterway. It even required China to deliver a deposit of 1 billion US dollars. It can be said that Turkey's difficulties directly affect the development of my country's aircraft carrier . After experiencing this humiliating incident, China can also see that Türkiye is not a trustworthy country.
In fact, Türkiye has also repeatedly jumped between Russia and the United States. As a NATO country, Türkiye and Russia are in a hostile relationship in the camp, so Türkiye has also closed its airspace to Russia, which also made Russia quite unhappy.However, soon, Turkey discovered that the United States was unreliable, so Turkey purchased and equipped the S400 air defense missile from Russia despite the identity of NATO countries, which also made the United States furious and directly joined forces with the EU to impose sanctions on Turkey.
is obvious. Turkey has only one purpose for repeated jumps, which is to maximize its own interests. They know that they are countries that Russia and the West need to win over, so they set the price on the ground and see what benefits both sides can bring to them! As long as the benefits are given, Türkiye will ignore any face.
Even after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Turkey threatened not to participate and would not impose sanctions on Russia. In fact, their small moves have not stopped. In fact, this move is not pleasing to both sides. It cannot gain the trust of the West, but also makes Russia feel resentful. It's just that Turkey has always been like this. Erdogan always thinks he has enough skills. In fact, he always jumps repeatedly between major powers and has no real position. This is destined to make Turkey completely abandoned, because his actions not only demonstrate ambitions, but also cannot gain the trust of any country, and it will be difficult to make a difference in the end.
In fact, they always care about short-term interests, and the desperate attempt to speculate is really not clever. This also reflects that the situation of Turkey is too small. They are also interested in leading the "PanTurkist Alliance". In fact, it is only a dream to realize it.

At the SCO Summit held on 15, Türkiye was invited by Erdogan, and he also participated in the summit.
During the summit, Erdogan exchanged views with political leaders from many countries, which also reflects the harmonious side of the SCO Summit. During the summit, many agreements were reached, which are conducive to further cooperation between SCO countries and to achieve stability in various regions. In fact, this summit also pointed out a direction for SCO countries to move forward in their subsequent development.
This summit also achieved the second expansion of the SCO. The addition of Iran also allowed the SCO to not only add a heavyweight member state, but also extended the SCO's sphere of influence to Middle East , which means that the SCO will further strengthen its influence in the Middle East.
Türkiye also sees this trend. In fact, they also expressed an idea, that is, they want to join the SCO.
According to Turkey's report on the 17th, after Turkish President Erdogan ended his visit to Uzbekistan , a Turkish reporter asked Erdogan whether Turkey would become a member of the SCO. Erdogan replied: "Of course, that is the goal."
Erdogan said that in his speech at the summit, he said that Turkey regards the security, stability and prosperity of the Asian region with which it has historical, cultural and cultural ties, as a Turkish foreign policy priority. Türkiye attaches great importance to cooperation to ensure the security and stability of the region. Erdogan said he was pleased to see the SCO "will to further cooperate with Türkiye."
Although Erdogan's statement cannot be fully believed, it also reflects that the SCO still has certain attraction to Türkiye. In fact, Erdogan has always been in front of others and the latter, and his statement is more purposeful.
first, this is a kind of pressure on the EU.
Türkiye's application to join the EU was not a day or two. The application that lasted decades for decades was rejected, which also made Türkiye completely useless. Therefore, the SCO has improved to a certain extent now, and Türkiye wants to take this opportunity to put pressure on the EU, that is, to tell the EU that if it refuses Türkiye to join, then Türkiye will inevitably join the SCO in the future. In fact, Türkiye has always been a high-minded person. They have always looked to the West and have always wanted to join the Western camp. However, Western countries have never seen them directly, and they look down on Asian countries very much and always think that they are superior. Therefore, Erdogan is also an excellent actor. His statement is to put pressure on the EU and change his attitude towards them.
second, this is to gain benefits from the SCO.
SCO is a potential new star with unlimited future prospects. There are now three major powers in China, Russia and India, plus Iran, and the future influence can be seen from the naked eye. Türkiye also realized this, so they intended to show goodwill to the SCO. Their intention was not to really want to join the SCO, but to gain more benefits from the SCO. In fact, Türkiye does not have a long-term development idea or strategic vision. What they are good at is speculation, so they just want to make benefits in the short term, rather than taking responsibility in the long term.
It can be seen that Erdogan’s remarks are not worthy of trust, and his real intention is not as he said.

Nowadays, the SCO has been on the right track. Although Erdogan has some intention to join the SCO, the final result is not them. After all, the SCO cannot join just by wanting to join. We must grasp this threshold strictly.
In the SCO, Russia is the country with the most dealings with Turkey. Putin is also too familiar with the old fox Erdogan. This is a politician who cannot be trusted. Maybe he said it well before, but he turned around and turned his face and turned his face. Putin has seen this scene many times.
As for now, Erdogan expressed his intention to join the SCO as his goal, which also reflects Erdogan's future prospects for the SCO, but this is not their sincerity. It is more of a use of the SCO as an alternative. What they hope to join the EU more.
Therefore, even if Türkiye really wants to apply to join the SCO, further review is needed to make them realize that the SCO is not a vegetable garden door, and it is impossible to enter if you want to.
In fact, this also reflects the direction of the SCO in the future. It is very likely that like the EU, member states can cooperate more closely and develop their economy better. Türkiye is now just thinking about finding a spare tire for itself. If it cannot join the EU, it will try to join the SCO. Their abacus is smooth, but in fact, it cannot be trusted.
So, don’t care too much about Erdogan’s statement. Turkey at this stage needs to be more careful.
