In his opinion, That will not happen, because the administration Donald Trump made several concessions to Turkey, especially on the issue of S-400 missile defense systems, but the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan failed to seize "opportunities" and did not take any steps to "compromise".

US and Turkey on the way to a diplomatic and economic clash

Fellow, American Enterprise Institute Michael Rubin in his article predicted serious problems for Erdogan from the new US administration.

Trump's leniency allowed the Turkish leader to avoid responsibility for his actions. Erdogan believed, that Congress and the US judiciary don't matter. He counted, that Trump will block sanctions or reduce deals to lawsuits. The Biden team will not tolerate such actions.. Turkish institutions to face sanctions over deal with Russia and bank financial irregularities, Rubin wrote in the article.

Besides, specialist noted, that in recent years the authority of Ankara has decreased in the eyes of Washington:

Politics

Erdogan criticized NATO allies for, that they do not sell drone cameras to Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized NATO countries for refusing to supply parts for Turkish drones.

“Despite the smear campaigns of those, who is among us, our aircraft are admired all over the world. Turkish armed UAVs are changing the way we wage war and have changed the course of the war in Libya.”, — Erdogan noted at the launch of a new Turkish frigate.

Turkey calls on Greece to demilitarize Alexandroupolis

Theorist of the "Blue Homeland" Doctrine Jihat Yaji advised the Turkish authorities to call on Greece to demilitarize the city of Alexandroupoli.

These statements were made by the former head of the Turkish Navy before the talks between Ankara and Athens., who passed 23 January.

Yaiji referred to the Montreux Convention, agreement 1936 year relative to the Dardanelles.

Turkey has gained more influence thanks to its participation in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh

Ankara's brutal military intervention in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh has changed the "geopolitical rules of the game in the South Caucasus", allowing Turkey to increase its influence in Central Asia, wrote for Turkey Analyst scientist Mikael Tanchum.

Conflict, erupted at the end of September in Nagorno-Karabakh, led to the victory of Azerbaijan, while Turkey has become one of the main actors of the Eurasian interaction, considers Tanchum.

As a result, a corridor was created between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, thus directly linking Turkey with Azerbaijan and the rest of the Turkic states in Central Asia.

According to the scientist, Turkey's expansion of ties with Turkic countries causes concern in China, as such pan-Turkic solidarity could extend to the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang.

“In addition to expanding its ability to influence commercial flows in the South Caucasus and Central Asia, Turkey has also increased its influence and strengthened its ability to use pan-Turkic cultural tools. “soft power”

To what extent will Turkey succeed in the use of "soft" and "hard power", received as a result of the Nagorno-Karabakh war, to deepen their strategic partnerships in Central Asia, will determine the extent of its power as a Eurasian actor. Prospects are promising. Taking advantage of its inclusion in the China-led One Belt, One Road project across Central Asia, Turkey, perhaps, outsmarted China in Azerbaijan, to become a growing Eurasian power", Tanchum believes.
