Yesterday “US and Hamas tension” In our article titled, the events expected to take place on May 9, Biden-Erdogan We emphasized that there was a high probability that the meeting would be cancelled.
As of now, the high probability seems to have increased a little more!
The reason for the cancellation of the meeting is bifurcated. Sources close to the government emphasize that the cancellation request came from Erdoğan. The reason is that Israel continues its brutal attacks in Gaza and the USA actually supports it.
It is important not to make definitive statements without an official statement from the parties. However, there is information that the main reason for the possibility of cancellation is Erdogan’s supportive attitude towards Hamas. The USA finds it unacceptable that Hamas, which is withdrawing from Qatar, accepts Turkey as its new base.
Another reason related to this is that Erdogan’s PutinTheir relationship with . Putin could not come to Turkey! During the New Year period, it was announced that Putin would be in Turkey on February 12. Then came the news of the postponement. “After the election” but it was said “after which election” not sure!
Let’s summarize the depth of Putin’s support for Erdoğan as follows:
He postponed Turkey’s $20 billion natural gas debt to Russia before the 2023 elections!
How great if the only reward for this is close love!

The history of the AKP government is partly the history of relations with the USA. A generation has passed! before AKP EcevitDuring the coalition under the prime ministry of , the USA insisted on entering Iraq through Türkiye and SaddamHe planned to overthrow and invade Iraq.
Ecevit opposed this. “I would not want a neighboring country to be invaded through Türkiye, no matter what.” said.
We talked about this with Ecevit several times when he was alive. Ecevit basically attributed the end of the coalition and the AKP’s coming to power to this process.
As a matter of fact, right after AKP won the elections on November 3, 2002, Erdoğan went to the USA even though he had no public responsibility. On December 11, 2002, then US President BushHe gave the following message in his meeting with:
“Saddam is a dictator. “We do not want to live side by side with a dictator.”
This was the answer the United States was looking for.
Afterwards, the process continued until the March 1, 2003 warrant. On March 1, the memorandum that would allow the USA to use and virtually occupy all of Turkey was not passed by the Parliament, but on March 5, the memorandum allowing the use of airspace and all kinds of similar support was passed.
The process culminated in putting a sack over the Turkish soldier’s head!

After the March 1 warrant, the following evaluation came to the fore in the US:
In countries like Türkiye, we only need one responsible person. We shouldn’t have to deal with parliament, judiciary, unnecessary institutions! We can handle everything easier with that person in charge!
We have come from those days to today.
Our north has been in turmoil due to the Russia-Ukraine (NATO) war since February 24, 2022…
Our south has been in turmoil since October 7, 2023, due to the Hamas-Israel war and Israel’s attacks on civilian targets without listening…
The USA wants to see Turkey on both sides.
Turkey’s economy, LightningIt came down to him asking for money from the USA!
There’s a new jigsaw puzzle that hasn’t been revealed yet!
Years ago it comes to mind Cüneyt Zapsuof, “Instead of sweeping it into the hole.” The sentence that starts with ‘comes’!
