For two decades, Turkey has been systematically building a strategy of hegemony in the Eastern Mediterranean, transforming the region into the center of gravity of its geopolitical power. 💡 In this analysis, we examine the doctrine of the “Blue Homeland” (Mavi Vatan), the naval upgrade (TCG Anadolu, drones), and the energy claims that allow Ankara to shape a new regional balance of power, directly challenging Greece and Cyprus.
🔎 Analysis of Key Points & Strategic Dimensions The video analyzes Turkey’s cohesive, long-term strategy on multiple fronts:
Ideology & Law: How the “Blue Homeland” rejects the European legal framework (UNCLOS) and imposes its own reality, even through the use of force.
Military Self-Sufficiency: The transformation of the Turkish navy into an emerging maritime power with the construction of the TCG Anadolu and the use of TB2/Akinci drones as force multipliers.
Energy Lever: How aggressive drilling, the Turkish-Libyan agreement, and the obstruction of the trilateral partnerships (Greece-Cyprus-Israel) ensure that no major energy plan can proceed without Ankara.
Successful Interventions: The military intervention in Libya and the maintenance of troops in Syria as strategic bulwarks for controlling the Crete–Cyprus–Suez axis.
Geopolitical Flexibility: Ankara’s strategy as a “swing state” between the US/NATO and Russia/China/Iran, which allows it to continuously extract concessions.
The Tool of Pressure: The methodical instrumentalization of migration against Greece and Europe as a cheap and effective non-military lever of pressure.
Turkey is already in the process of achieving regional hegemony. Greece and Cyprus risk becoming permanent crisis managers.

Really strong analysis here. The fact that this type of strategic breakdown is accessible in 137 langauges changes how regional geopolitcs gets discussed. I've been tracking similaar Turkish expansion moves and the multilingual approach actuallt lets stakeholders from Balkan states, North Africa, and Arab states all engage witht he same analysis at once, rather than waiting for localized translations. That timing element matters way more than people think when regional alliances are being tested.
