Many countries in the world criticized Turkey for attacking Syria. Why does Erdogan go his own way?

Many countries in the world criticized Turkey for attacking Syria, but Erdogan still went his own way because he had such capital. Turkey is the only way for refugees to enter Europe. Of course, this is also an important factor that Turkey threatens Europe. At the same time, Europe's military strength is not high, and Erdogan can turn a blind eye to their condemnation.

The Turkish army launched a cross-border military operation against Syria in the northeast of Syria under the pretext of eliminating extremist organizations. Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other EU countries have successively condemned Turkey's unilateral invasion of the Syrian border and expressed regret. European Commission President Juncker directly stated that Turkey's cross-border military action was actually an "invasion" and demanded that Turkey immediately stop the invasion. Turkey's behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the EU, but the EU's remarks also aroused Turkey's dissatisfaction.

Erdogan's threat to Europe is also obvious, and he does have the ability to do it. Turkey's border is located in Eurasia, bordering the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the north, and it is a country across Eurasia. Compared with Asia and Europe, Turkey can be said to be a crossroads and has an extremely important strategic position. In recent years, the refugee crisis in the Middle East has given Turkey the capital to threaten Europe, which is mainly due to its unique geographical location. Since 20 10, the number of refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries has increased exponentially, especially Syria, because of the high number of refugees from civil wars and extremist organizations. Turkey is the only land route for these refugees to flee to "refugee paradise" Europe.

Therefore, Turkey can completely ignore the accusations of European countries. Mainly depends on its strength. If it is the United States or Russia, you should think twice.
