As Turkey approaches critical general and presidential elections in 2023, President Erdogan is moving to fix frayed relations with rich Middle Eastern countries in the hope of securing a much-needed cash flow.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey has had poor relations with almost all Middle Eastern countries for nearly a decade, following several disagreements on bilateral and regional affairs.
However, as the country approaches important general and presidential elections amid a deep economic crisis, Erdogan is moving to mend fences with several countries in the region, including Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Syria.
“A meeting with [Syrian President Bashar Al] Assad can take place. There is no resentment in politics. Sooner or later, we can take steps,” Erdogan told reporters in parliament on November 23.
