Turkey-Greece Standoff in the Mediterranean Explained

In the past, Turkey was interested in Europe and did a lot to negotiate with the EU and perhaps go the way of admission to the EU.
Today Turkey is following a path of national pride that leads further away from the EU. That is why the EU does not interfere in Turkey's affairs. But the great ideas of the Turkish leader have already led to the devaluation of the Turkish currency several times. That was certainly not what the EU intended. But Turkey's increased economic isolation and political disputes do not seem to be leading to great success. But Turkey is always useful for the EU diplomatically. Especially to control the flow of refugees.
It will not be to the detriment of Turkey to do the EU a favor.
