Economic woes force Erdogan to befriend Saudis

ANKARA: Three times after criminating Saudi Arabia’s leadership of murder and running a sham trial over the payoff of intelligencer Jamal Khashoggi, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan arrived in Riyadh on Thursday to mend ties.

Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government, was killed by a hit team at the country’s Istanbul consulate in 2018. At the time, Erdogan indicted the “ loftiest situations” of the Saudi government of giving the orders, and slammed Riyadh’s own legal process while refusing to partake substantiation with them over enterprises of tampering.

With Turkey’s frugality now facing heightening straits and tough choices brewing, Erdogan is pushing to mend Ankara’s simulated politic relations.

The trip is the capstone of a months-long trouble by Ankara to repair ties with Riyadh after Saudi Arabia assessed an unofficial boycott on Turkish significances over its station on the Khashoggi murder, and marks a dramatic shift by Turkey.

Ankara’s decision this month to transfer its own legal case over the murder to Riyadh was criticised by rights groups and the opposition. But judges and diplomats say the fellowship was important demanded given the insulation Turkey faced diplomatically.

“ Turkey can not continue this sphere-of- influence game that it has been pursuing since the morning of the Arab Spring,” said Birol Baskan, Turkey- grounded non-resident scholar at Washington- grounded Middle East Institute.

Turkey has in recent times established military bases in Qatar and Somalia despite opposition from indigenous actors. Ankara’s positions on the conflicts in Syria, Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh and away, as well as the accession of Russian defence systems, have also caused disunion with neighbours and Nato abettors.

“ Turkey’s aggressive foreign policy, its tone-aggrandising perception has left it barred,” Baskan said, adding that profitable conditions needed a change of approach.

Ankara describes its foreign policy as “ entrepreneurial and philanthropic” and the foreign minister has called 2022 “ the time of normalisation” for Turkey.

The government has said the Khashoggi trial decision wasn’t political. Before the move, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said conditions for “ judicial cooperation” with Riyadh hadn’t been met preliminarily, but the sides were enforcing it now. He didn’t say what had changed.

Turkey’s frugality has been ailing for times and a lira extremity erupted late last time due to an unorthodox financial policy backed by Erdogan. Ankara has ago been looking for ways to palliate the pressure via transnational communion.

In addition to being currency exchange deals with China, Qatar, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates — worth a aggregate of$ 28 billion — Ankara is eying a deal with Riyadh. It also seeks investments and contracts, analogous to those signed with Abu Dhabi.

On Wednesday, Turkish Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati said he’d bandied cooperation and changed views on the frugality, trade and investments with his Saudi counterpart.
