    Now, it appears Turkey is beginning to face away from the EU and focus on building ties in the East, a sign the nation might be ready to give up its bid to join the bloc.

    President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Azerbaijan last week, after Turkey’s military advisers, advanced drones and mercenaries provided crucial backing in the Azeri victory over Armenia in last year’s war in Nagorno-Karabakh.

    In Shusha, a city retaken by Azerbaijan in the conflict, the Turkish leader promoted a plan to build a rail link from south-western Azerbaijan to its exclave, the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, which has been cut off by Armenia since the 1990s.

    Mr Erdogan said: “With the implementation of this project, a new middle corridor will be opened that everyone can benefit from, from East to West.”
