Belkovsky explained how Putin’s judo differs from Erdogan’s policies
Recep Erdogan will continue rash actions aimed at expanding Ankara's influence. The policy of the Turkish leader is radically different from the “philosophy of judo” that Vladimir Putin adheres to.
Russian liberal political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky stated this on the air of the internet channel "Power vs. Vlaschenko," reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
“Recep Erdogan does not profess the philosophy of judo, like his colleague, Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin does not act rashly because he knows when to stop. But Erdogan is not going to stop anywhere.
Actually, the war in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 was an example of this, because only with a living Erdogan could this war be carried out according to such a scenario. Azerbaijan itself would not have been able to cope with this purely psychologically, because they would not have decided to undertake such an operation.
Therefore, I have no doubt that Erdogan will not stop halfway,” Belkovsky said.
As a reminder, Moscow previously stated that Washington intends to use Turkey as a battering ram against its main geopolitical adversaries: China, Russia, and Iran.
