It is about the struggle for power: Turkey and the EU soured relations

In the relations between Turkey and the European Union there are more reasons for disagreement. It's not just about Ankara's actions in Syria and Libya, its policy affects the interests of the members of the Commonwealth -- Greece and Cyprus. The response of the EU in General remains soft. Brussels is in no hurry to move on to serious action for fear of consequences which can result, for example, economic sanctions. Meanwhile, relations between the parties deteriorate more and more, and the EU loses an important strategic partner in the middle East.
