Completely irrelevant.

Turkey is fucked and this is desperation move to stir up his populace and prevent another coup. They have millions of Syrians still residing in Turkey which was originally thought to be a temporary measure but has now lasted almost a decade and Turkey is deep in the red because of it. Erdogan never anticipated this; he took in the refugees hoping to use them as leverage against the EU but this mostly failed and everyone in the EU and NATO rallied against him.

Erdogan also fired on Russian aircraft and ground forces; his only saving grace preventing Putin from buttfucking Ankara in retaliation was being a legacy member of NATO from the Cold War. Then he fucking invaded Syria as a show of force only take losses from the rag-tag Syrian Army and get pushed back to Idlib, the last area not controlled by the Syrian Army in Syria. He has been borderline genocidal towards the Kurds who control all of Western Turkey on the Armenian Highlands (who were seeded there by Ataturk to prevent Armenian repatriation). And that's not even getting into the clusterfuck that is Cyprus and Greece and Turkey's relation/aggression with them.

In short, Erdogan is fucked. Istanbul is turning against him and I suspect the Bosporus will break away from Ankara in the coming decades when the next coup inevitably occurs. Once that happens, the Mediterrainean shores might break away too and return to their Greek roots or declare independence. Armenia will get back Ararat and their ancestral highlands although they may be in for a new turf war against the Kurds who will wish to declare independence as well.

You heard it hear first, Anatolia is dangerously close to Balkanizing.
