I don’t see where Putin has any real interest in Erdogan or Turkey. Turkey isn’t a valued trade partner,and it’s practically broke.
If anything, on the myth suggestion of power, Erdogan is on a short schedule to resolve the banking crisis and the Lira problem. He needs some massive loan (probably over 200 billion Euro worth), and I doubt seriously that they can repay the loan, unless Europe gives them some hope for the future.
So the only ‘saviors’ left are Saudi Arabia, Russia (doubtful), Dubai, and China.
It has been every Tsars dream since Peter the Great to control the Bosporus, the Dardanelles and Istanbul. Erdogan is playing with fire.
