Clear and frank, the conflict between the experienced politician and the cleric fueled by the illusions of the return of the “Ottoman Sultanate”, with the partial investment of the religious dimension, in shaping the external determinants of Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s policy; It is clear that Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the state of internal conflict in his personality, employ politics in favor of his religious content, which has brought him regional and international opponents and enemies, and even at the level of the Turkish interior.

The political content of Erdogan’s religious personality, he fears that his position will be shaken in the conscience of the world’s Islamists, who are basically in a deplorable state, for after those who found refuge in Erdogan’s personality and tendencies, they are suffering today from anxiety and fear in the whole world. Many “Islamists” see in Erdogan the will capable of protecting them in front of the world’s wills, desiring to wipe them out and get rid of them. So Erdogan was carried beyond his power and sat on the seat of government and politics, and he found himself on the “Caliphate Chair”. Him randomly in this battle. But the truth of the matter is, Erdogan desires to be a religious fighter, so he tends to employ this dimension politically.

In depth, Erdogan’s foreign policies can be read in two frameworks, one of which is political and the other religious, as Recep Tayyip Erdogan can be described as riotous, who has two contradictory personalities. On the other hand, as a political leader, he establishes strong and strategic deep relations with the entity, and in the same framework, the religious Erdogan still rejects the “legitimacy” of Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi as President of Egypt, but on the other hand, Erdogan, the political, seeks to restore his relations with Egypt. Consequently, most of the regional and international policies that Erdogan pursues are based on religious and political determinants, which has brought him a number of regional and international opponents, as Erdogan is trying at this time to reduce them and reform some of them, at the expense of anything else.

The truth of the matter is, the personality of Recep Tayyip Erdogan creates confusion, as the man does not leave the spiral of contradictions; Although he achieved great popularity, and gathered many supporters for his policies internally and externally, since he came to power in 2002, but on the other hand, he gained opponents and opponents who criticize his contradictory positions and the policy of his lame party, in return, Erdogan was able to face the various crises that were encountered. It is clear that Erdogan has been characterized over nearly two decades of his rule of Turkey, by an intellectual conflict that combines two opposites, as he always praised secular values and the principles of pluralism, democracy and human rights, while he showed a face characterized by extremism and intolerance through his endeavor to reshape Turkish society as a whole according to his Brotherhood belief .

On a parallel side, and on the Turkish domestic front, it has become evident that the current Turkish government led by Erdogan prefers random and quick solutions, such as putting dissidents in prison, to silence their voices and exclude them from the political scene, instead of addressing the social and economic reasons that led them to criticize and oppose him. On his policy. At a time when the crises in Turkey are exacerbating, the AKP government’s view of these problems hardly exceeds the limits of the elections, so it resorts in every election cycle to developing short-term plans and policies, in order to immediately increase its electoral balance, while ignoring long-term and important strategic issues, such as reform The pension system or investment in education.

In view of the narrow political horizon of the Justice and Development Party, and the religious and political contradictions in Erdogan’s personality, which puts the interests of Turkish society in the wind, especially since the theorists of the Justice and Development Party, as well as Erdogan, think only about political ideology, and in return, this reality is seen by the majority of The Turks have a degree of suspicion and skepticism towards the secular character that their country is said to be characterized by, and they are also concerned about the direction in which Turkey is heading, and most of them aspire to see a true democratic system that takes into account the values of equality and justice, and liberates the country’s future from the grip of narrow-mindedness, limited thinking and religious intolerance. The political despotism that characterizes the Erdogan government.

Erdogan, who was convinced “perhaps” that he must make political and “religious” concessions, in order to celebrate two years from now, while at the helm of power, the centenary of the Turkish state, but on the other hand he is threatening the world with a new Turkish state after 2023, despite the many problems Which besieges and burdens Turkey, as a result of Erdogan’s policies, as it seems that the root of these problems is not only ideological and religious, as much as they are political and economic, but Erdogan is still insisting on exploiting religion to mobilize supporters for his domestic and foreign policy.
