One of the biggest successes of the G20 Summit 2023 under India’s presidency was the announcement of India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor, but one of the leaders of the group member countries, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been opposing it.
The Turkish leader is unhappy as his country has been bypassed in creation of the trade corridor that would link Asia to Europe.
It would seem to me that turkey has nothing to do with this deal. It doesn’t seem to involve their territory and there is no leverage. Am I missing something or is Erdogan just making random statements to sound cool?
