Turkey's new steps in its foreign policy, particularly those including Israel and Russia, provided important opportunities to see the scale and nature of Turkey's weight in world politics. Turkey's power in foreign policy are also, to an extent, very closely related to the economic power it has accumulated in the recent years. The ties and trade volume developed with Russia in these last years has probably made both countries more dependent on each other compared to the past. That is why cutting the ties has harmed both countries. It is a situation resulting from the strange paradox between dependency and power in foreign policy. Your dependency can increase as your power increases. There is no country whose power increases and does not need to do trade with anybody.
