Since 2016, it is Erdogan who sets his agenda on major international issues.
In Syria, where he is intervening against the Kurds, allies of the anti-Daesh coalition.
In Libya, where he changes the balance of power in the civil war.
In the eastern Mediterranean, where he tramples on the sovereignty of Greece.
In Nagorno-Karabakh, where he sends Syrian militiamen to support Azerbaijan.
In Europe, where he exercises permanent migratory blackmail, pushes the influence of political Islam and multiplies the invectives against the French president.
At NATO, where he provokes his allies by buying from the Alliance's hereditary enemy, Russia, an anti-missile defense (S400) and by blocking several partnerships.
But today the tide is turning.
It is now blowing in squalls against the Turkish president in Washington.
Will these squalls cross the Atlantic to reach Brussels, where the issue of sanctions against Ankara is on the menu of the European Council on Thursday and Friday?
