Yes, Everyone is. Russia is playing nice with Turkey today, but lets not forget Russia wants Istanbul, 1 way or another. Not only is it access to the Mediterranean but also cultural and religious ties to the Byzantine empire (Russia sees itself as a successor). The Russian Empire´s goal in WW1 was to take Istanbul. 1 year ago no one would of thought Russia would invade Ukraine to take back its land. The world is changing and Erdogan must be careful not to overplay his cards like he did in Syria
