To counter this, the EU must rethink its approach. Offering strategic incentives to Turkey and Hungary, such as brokers in alternative gas deals with Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan and competitive gas alternatives, could shift Ankara’s and Budapest’s calculations, reducing their reliance on Russia. 4/5

The EU’s gas diversification efforts are being challenged. My latest SUITS Brief explores how Turkey’s energy hub ambitions and Hungary’s energy policies undermine the EU’s efforts, and offers a way to move forward. 🧵👇1/5

Nevertheless, between November 2023 and November 2024, Turkey made significant progress in being seen as an ally among Western partners. This is due to the relatively lower level of confrontation with Western partners since the May 2023 elections. 3/3

The @munsecconf.bsky.social (MSC) report on multipolarity has some interesting findings on Turkey. A greater share of respondents in the BRICS countries without RU see Turkey as a "great power" than in the West. This is a result of Turkey's diplomatic focus on the developing world. 1/3
