It is a NATO member, an organisation for which Russia and previously the Soviet Union served as\u00a0<em>raison d'\u00eatre<\/em>\u00a0or the foundational threat.<br \/>\nTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been increasingly castigating the Western-centric international system. But as a member of many Western institutions, Turkey is also a beneficiary, and in a sense, part of the geopolitical West.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, Turkey also has maritime borders with both Ukraine and Russia. Plus, Turkey is Russia's largest trade partner in the Middle East and North Africa region. And it has competed and cooperated with Russia through conflict zones in Syria, Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh in recent years.<br \/>\nCompared to other contenders for mediation, Turkey has the highest stakes in this conflict. The war is fundamentally changing the geopolitics and balance of power in the Black Sea region, and Turkey is a major Black Sea power.<br \/>\nThat said, as the war drags on, Turkey's previous strategic juggling act may no longer be feasible, particularly as Russia is now more openly treated as an enemy of NATO and European security.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nGalip Dalay<\/strong>\u00a0is CATS Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), an associate fellow at Chatham House, and doctoral researcher in the Faculty of History at the University of Oxford.
