The publication quoted Sinan Ulgen, a former diplomat on Turkish foreign policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, as saying that Erdogan wants rapprochement with Putin's alliance in order to strengthen Turkey's “strategic autonomy”.
The second reason for Erdogan's move, according to Ulgen, is his intention to show that “he can simultaneously sit at the tables of NATO and BRICS” and mediate in the international arena.
