Continuing Dr. Pipes' Observances of Turkiye and Mediterranean SubterfugeReader comment on item: Taking a Look at Turkey Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Jan 27, 2022 at 11:34 We are told and are continuously reading here in Dr. Pipes' contentions of Turkiye's inability to get along with others now appears slightly altered with the Mediterranean gas reserves being argued over; with the Turkish leader still trying to carve some notch in ME finances, does wrestling over the gas reserves with Greece, Israel and others gain some traction when the United States sides with Turkiye over whose rights are being violated? Dr. Pipes: are we seeing further evidence that energy (in)dependence in the region is now taking on a more dramatic role now that the shifting paradigm in the region shows that Turkiye still seeks to dominate and recover its former premiere role in the Middle East?
