Turkey's Foreign Policy: Strengthening Ties with Russia and the Gulf.

Turkish President Erdogan's government is expected to continue its independent foreign policy while seeking fewer confrontations. Turkey aims to diversify its allies, prevent significant diplomatic crises, expedite reconciliation efforts with Syria, Egypt, and the Gulf states, and uphold independence. Turkey will pursue an independent foreign policy, which is evident in its demands for the extradition of Turkish citizens from Sweden, urging the US to halt its support for the PYD, and maintaining a close personal rapport with Russian President Putin. Turkey is expected to prioritize maintaining stable relations with the EU and upholding the deal aimed at preventing refugees from reaching Europe. Turkey is also expected to re-establish close ties with the Gulf states.
