"7 reasons", why did Erdogan apologize to Russia

7 months. The time of incomprehension, tensity and losses had been passed before Erdogan understood, there are enough simple explicit words. It is not simply to make apologize, but to admit guilt - is a step over pride. As downed craft isn't offence to Putin himself, Erdogan was ought to apologize himself.

So, there are apologizes to Russia but who will apologize to us, Turks? Nobody is going to compensate for these months of loss and shame. Because of his self-confidence and throwings Erdogan has got all these Russian sanctions, and we've got the empty hotels, unclaimed items, plucked contracts and full loss of credibility. It is a pity that, having brought down a Russian plane, the president did not remember that the tourist industry for many years is oriented more to the Russians with their love for "all inclusive", as business and industry - on the nearest neighbors, the largest of which is also Russia.

It was the opportunity to avoid all of these effects. It would be enough sincere apology. There were a lot of it brought by young people, students, on the pages of social networks and blogs. There were just Erdogan, encouraged by the United States, who believed he is right. Certainly, he waited from Putin for an answer, and big words. But instead of this - a complete disregard and silent folding all business relationships. Such behavior usualy tends to human who has been hurted by another and was deeply disappointed. Erdogan, in his turn, acted as befits a man who caused the offense, knows it is wrong, but does not want to admit it. But here the whole analogy of interpersonal relationships worked at the international level. The state has not only the image, but also the population. While the President of Turkey was "make friends" with other: United States, the EU, and even LIH, in spite of Russia, people have to act also on the same "child" principle: "Do not be friends with them, if you want to be friends with me."

As a result, the Turkish economy had been lost Russia and Russians had been lost Turkish resorts, products, goods and business partners. The difference is that Russia in the context of European sanctions policy has already headed for import substitution, so "pile up" replaced the Turkish products and services: mandarins - on Abkhazian, tomatoes - on the Kuban, and Antalya - on the newly acquired Crimea. Unfortunately, we were not able to replace the Russians on Germans and "Brexits".

Meanwhile, he was trying to realize our long-held dream of a Europe upholstering EU thresholds and pleasing owners, who doesn't not want to let uninvited guests. Was trying to flirt (otherwise you could not call it) to LIH, nurturing long-standing plans for the distribution of influence on the part of the Syrian territories. Was trying to use the protection and support of NATO. And what happened? EU doors remain closed, in Istanbul - the attack and NATO silently maintains Kurds, selling them weapons and turning a blind eye to the actual civil war in the east of country.

It tooks the new refusion from EU and Brexit, utterly inflame situation and 7 months to realize that we need to be friends with those who are closest and who can help to not only with "an expression of conviction and appeals", but by practical actions and means. And the last but not least, with those who value this friendship.

Does the neighbor wants to be friends now? Does he believe in the sincerity of our apology? Do the guarantees are reliable? Do the beaches look safe?

Almost all prohibitions related to the incident, Putin canceled so fast as we could not imagine, he seemed to be saying: "Look, it's so simple, but you stubborn." Russian diplomacy has won, but in the sincerity of an apology clearly has not believed, it is obvious for all that Turkey simply has no choice. Putin has taught us a good lesson, forcing Erdogan to feel the guilt and to see the of misconduct, to feel the discontent of the population, and, moreover, to be cornered by lack of powerful friends. Whether will the relationship return to its former track?

During these 7 months our country's image thoroughly spoiled for Russians. The good work of the media playied not the last role here. Turkey for the Russian doesn't look so attractive and safe as before, although political relations are improving.

To rebuild these months it needs much more time and our hard work, as well as concessions and compromises. We'll hope that this time Erdogan is ready.
