Recent developments, internally and externally, are forcing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to adopt a new strategy, through which he aims to extricate Turkey from its current economic predicament, and also to extricate it from international political isolation, as a result of the Turkish regime's policies.
The American Al-Monitor website stated in a report that the Turkish president, after sacrificing his son-in-law, Bert Al-Bayrak, and overthrowing him from the position of Finance Minister, Erdogan is now presenting himself as working to implement economic and judicial reforms that get Turkey out of its crises.
The site notes that Erdogan announced that his administration is working on a new "human rights action plan" to be more compatible with the changing conditions of the world we live in today, he said.
The report emphasized that all of this is an attempt by the Turkish regime to re-engage with the West, which Erdogan himself and his supporters have been distorting for years.
These theoretical changes in Erdogan's tone coincided with the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the US presidential election, ending a period of friendly relationship between Ankara and the administration of US President Donald Trump.
While some believe that Turkey is on the cusp of positive change, after the lira achieved gains for the first time almost this year immediately after announcing the resignation of Turkish Finance Minister Bert Albayrak, many believe that he will ultimately fail to fulfill his words because this will require him to literally deny everything he insisted on so far.
Commenting on Erdogan's pledge to undertake broad reforms, former Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said it seemed as if a new government had come to power, and regretted the debris it inherited from others after years of mismanagement.
