Ottomana Pax? Mixed success of Turkey's new foreign policy

Zero policy, monitor problem, sometimes painful, especially that this approach is a bold move, yet continued to pass the test. Negotiations concerning the status of Cyprus, EU member and the protocols in addition to Armenia, Turkey and the United States, Turkey and other traditional allies, tensions between the new opportunities this year, the two climbed on top of water: the AK Party, challenged the Israeli blockade of Gaza, the Turkish international fleet After rejecting them from participating ships to be, Turkey additional UN sanctions against Iran's nuclear trade agreement with the opposition and you've worked with Brazil to gain vitality.

These two events, the direction of Turkey's turn towards the West, Islamism is a proof of claim. You say, most of Iran's nuclear program threatens not only about İsrail'dekilerden. Turkey's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, only a few days before the fleet side of the specific ethics of uranium trade agreement, said that strengthened cooperation with Iran. Dot-i s respect the Turkish government in the matter of Israel and Iran are two separate issues. Policy changes related to these two countries in Ankara, let alone threads from Islamist impulses, that you represent an ideological shift of the axis there is concrete evidence. In fact, the U.S. administration's support for rapprochement with Iran is going to have good reasons to believe in Turkey. Israel's blockade of Gaza, including in particular the Marmara Blue fleet raided the challenge of making a statement about the responsibility belongs to Turkey to Israel is not a surprise since the deadly attack in international waters is He who regulates.

The AK Party, deserves more praise. The AK Party, to build good relations with Israel until the Israeli attack in Gaza 2008-9 was moving towards. The AK Party leaders have visited Israel many times in the first period of power, and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was built in memory of the Holocaust at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem showed respect. The AK Party, close companies and the AK Party government did a good job in Israel before him many more governments signed the official agreement. Ankara, for years and tried to facilitate the indirect talks between Israel and Syria in 2008 after meetings with the parties involved in yoğunlaştıktan tafsilatlı unexpectedly found points of conflict. But Olmert and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Erdogan's peace plan negotiations between spending five hours to days after the devastating Israeli attack in Gaza began. Israel's killing of Palestinians in the face of an estimated 1.430 shaken shaken Erdogan as many Turks, days later, in Davos, the Israeli president, Shimon Peres exploded. After the massacre, published a series of fictional about the functioning of Israel - which prepared the special were people - Israeli deputy foreign minister insult the Turkish ambassador and the withdrawal of the incident provided by a group of cameramen.

Then I broke out in the event Blue Marmara, the Israeli commandos, watching the ship in international waters at night staged a surprise attack. Israeli commandos, the passengers knives, iron bars and made-up weapons such as broom stick resist the Americans in the face by shooting killed eight Turkish citizens and a Turkish origin. The Israeli government claims that before the soldiers shot one of the belly of the Turkish government, the Israeli soldiers started to open fire before leaving the Blue Sea of Marmara and the Turkish activists never weapons claims to use it. Ankara, the Turkish fleet is also doing its best to not watch directly in Gaza, some lawmakers and activists to join the Turkish authorities and the ship engellediklerini, says that passengers undergo an extensive security check.

Turkey and Israel, both countries agreed to cooperate with the investigations to assess a UN panel. Agreed that the findings provide hope that, with Turkey, Israel apologized and paid compensation to victims of Israel's refusal to do so will recognize the possibility finding a middle way. However, confidence in the break between Turkey and Israel, between Israel and the Middle East countries that does not leave an opportunity to act as a facilitator. Turkey is a party to the dispute, although a direct side incitilen feeling that, zero problems severe blow to the policy.

The belief in Turkey's new approach, especially in consideration of Washington'dakiler, the crisis over Turkey's relations with Iran zedelenmiştir. The AK Party leaders, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's controversial election re-election in June of 2009 had lifted eyebrows are happy they meet. Critics of this approval, the AK Party, Hamas, Syria, Sudan and condemns the governments of most Western groups such as the open-arms approach associated. When opposition to the UN Security Council sanctions against Tehran Turkey extra things got worse.

Turkey's movements once it was realized that the wrong people. Turkey's vote at the UN, scolding the meaning of the United States was not supporting sanctions, as a measure of confidence-building aimed at Tehran, a movement that believes that the Turkish government's support for the United States. Iran and Turkey share an attempt to block creation of a Muslim was not. The two countries, although başarmışlarsa fight a battle on three hundred years, throughout history, focused dalaşıp. Is at stake in Iraq and the Middle East, Sunni and Shiite traditions, makes them open to competitors. Turkey and Iran (and Egypt) have been struggling with for a long time for leadership in the region - which of the two countries, Syria and the Palestinians more than it is to be seen as a major partner in agile enterprises girmelerinin not be counted as a reason is this. Turkey's rapprochement with Iran and other hard-line countries, to ally with them, not a desire to change the behavior of these states is based on arzuna. Turkey's AK Party anti-American Islamism evidence of convergence of the Israeli right-wing commentators counting American conservative commentators confuse the aims and tactics with each other.

Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons in Ankara, Turkey confronts an unwavering no suspicion of foreign officials. Issue for Ankara, Turkey, and how to prevent it from other national objectives such as what this goal a priority verileceğidir. In addition, the Turkish government, a military campaign against Iran, rather than stopping it just geciktireceğine nükleerleşmesini Iran and Iran believes that security will be the only way to convince the nuclear caydırıcılıkta tilts. Again, the Turkish government not only hard-line regime in Iran will strengthen the application further sanctions, Iran's neighbors, including Turkey, raising tensions in the region to reduce trade is going to harm you believe - just as Saddam Hussein's Iraq sanctions applied in similar things, such as lead.

Turkish officials, Tehran's nuclear program, Iran also has a broad-based support because it is the only policy within reason, you do not have nuclear weapons to the security of the countries of Iran and closer to the management as a whole, is to persuade Iran to argue that. Turkish officials, the American administration to Tehran for more than thirty years have pointed to the distance stopped. Allowing exchanges - for example, one million Iranians to visit Turkey every year - suggesting that more sanctions are better than insists.

The Turkish government has encouraged the U.S. administration's claim that Tehran's nuclear trade agreement is not zeminsiz. In April, U.S. President Barack Obama has sent letters to the governments of Turkey and Brazil, and Washington has described the conditions necessary for entry into Iran's nuclear swap. After tough negotiations Turkey and Brazil and from the point of almost breaking a written commitment from Tehran that the U.S. administration put forth a lot of kopardılar fulfilled the requirement. Some American officials, the two governments to find a way to Iran to the negotiating table getitmenin çabaladıklarına a friendly way and say they believe Iran öngöremediklerine uyduracağını their feet.

But American officials, the Turkish government's swap deal to take Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, or sanctions as a way to withhold the fact that its still angry. Turkey, Brazil, together with figures claiming that the diplomatic route in its aim to protect the UN Security Council when the new sanctions package against the lives of bored. Turkey's objection, and Turkey is on sanctions did not prevent the execution of these sanctions is going to help (but not implemented by the U.S. and the EU, Turkey's trade with Iran and damage does not participate in more severe sanctions). Complexity of the process and the distance between itself and put this issue in Brazil despite the fact that, Turkey and Brazil opened a door for the construction of the spring kotardığı deal of confidence in the future even if American officials agree.

In other words, do not blame Turkey's fight on Iran - that the crisis between Israel and the Blue Marmara documented case of how much blame in this, but there is so much blame. Turkey's policies, the international community is not referring to the general objectives. In addition, each event, the Islamist AK Party's new policy is a policy issue that does not constitute evidence.

To be more hopeful about Turkey's foreign policy is another reason why these past tensions between the U.S. and the EU, although the foundations of Turkey's alliance with the West is not changed. More than three-quarters of foreign investment in Turkey comes from EU states and more than half of Turkey's exports to the EU is done. The European Union is home to immigrants from Turkey, 2.7 million, more than half of the tourists visiting Turkey in the EU countries. Middle East, the Turkish business world to the West in the first place for the best deals sunmaktaysa also depends on Turkey. Turkey's exports are less than a third in the Middle East. Turk is home to only 110,000 tourists to Turkey in the Middle East, and only 10 percent of the Ortadoğu'dandır.

Turkey's proximity to the EU, the internal reform process, a powerful engine. The AK Party leaders in the Middle East against Israel stopped temporarily gain vote of confidence in the people, but his alliance with Western partners in this process must not sacrifice. I also have the following: the right separates Turkey from other countries in the Middle East, his respectable partner in both the U.S. and the EU's ability to be able to be the envy of the rest of the region and constitutes the basis for prosperity and the legitimacy of this. Turkey's ongoing cooperation with the U.S. administration - for example in the struggle against the PKK in Turkey's intelligence sharing, to ensure the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan smoothly, work together against al-Qaeda factions, or a solution between the Israelis and the Palestinians to help varılmasına - continues to be essential.

Turkey, even though zero-based foreign policy issue because of some setbacks indictable. He partially. Turkey, even when the mistake - hustle, because of poor communication or fiery rhetoric - the Turkish government to relieve the suffering in Gaza and Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons to find a way to switch to the front, including many Western partners did not abandon the purpose. Turkey's security and economy, the effects of the Middle East, Western ortaklarınkine problemelerin more obvious comparison. Ankara, therefore necessarily follow different tactics. The West must understand this and should see these differences as an opportunity. West, the Turkish government in Ankara, just as his indirect talks with Iran and the Middle East between Israel and Syria must also promote the role of intermediary. For example, Turkey can facilitate negotiations between Fatah and Hamas. The AK Party leaders, falling as far as his own superiors, need to find a way to repair relations with Turkey and Israel. This is not only Turkey's western allies heal ties with their confidence to talk with everyone in the Middle East will revive the reputation charismatic mediator.
