The reelection of Recep Tayyip Erdogan as Turkey’s president is resurfacing the question of whether Turkey is reanchoring itself in the Western alliance. Nothing could be further from the truth. As a limited number of pundits consider such a question, Erdogan is pressing ahead with undermining the security interests of its allies. Consider, for example, the case of to whom Turkey grants citizenship.
This is incredible, as the Erdogan government has been roasting Sweden for not doing enough to address Ankara’s “security concerns.” Most of these concerns are focused on Sweden’s freedom of expression protections that have permitted the burning of Qurans and the existence of people who are allegedly affiliated with the pro-Kurdish and separatist Kurdistan Workers’ Party. These are the main stated reasons why Sweden’s application to NATO is being held up by Erdogan.
Aside from drug traffickers, Turkey is known to provide passports and residence to international terrorists affiliated with Hamas. Turkey refuses to acknowledge Hamas as a terrorist organization while at the same time attempting to rebuild substantive diplomatic ties with Israel. In 2020, Turkey granted citizenship to Ismail Haniyeh, a key Hamas leader residing in Turkey, allowing him to acquire a Turkish passport and travel internationally with increased ease.
