Bahçeşehir University Global Politics and International Relations and the American Center for Strategic Studies ( AMERS ) to conduct field studies as a student in Washington DC in the first week of my two week trip I want to share my impressions with you .
Because for me it was important meetings and these meetings if I will summarize my conclusions from the first place in Turkey, everything has been based in Turkey . To engage the public so that domestic political agenda , “Global” thoughts that the “big picture ” view has begun to move away from .
In Turkey , especially in the academic world to produce knowledge not commonly studied foreign policy efforts to transition from theory to practice unfortunately no negligible . Underlying this is the first one of the biggest reasons the International System study that analyzes the major changes taking place in the absence of three . These three major changes occurred ;
• From 1991 to the end of the Cold War ( Geopolitical Change)
• 2001 to 11 September Attack (Security in the Field Change)
• 2011 – Change in the Mediterranean Basin .
Political and economic changes
European crisis
transformation in North Africa and the Middle East .
So, Turkey, studied how these three major changes and reacts . To answer the answer to that would be more healthy looking from the outside of Turkey . During my visit to the Republic of Turkey Washington DC ‘ in talks with Turkish Ambassador Namik Tan’l had the opportunity . Mr. Tan chat outside the US-Turkish relationship is expressed as the undeniable importance of this shared moment of expressing . ” … In 1991 when I went to meet with President Turgut Ozal, I want to ask me where I was assigned .

Prime Minister Erdogan, last week to Brussels for a halt to revive EU relations was out and talks with Chancellor Merkel in the coming days to Germany to perform. My previous article that , ” Turkish Foreign Policy Alternatives in 2014 ” ( 5 January 2014 ) e.ful of Graham ‘s three I’ve mentioned analysis . Fuller’s analysis , at some point in the future, possibly three enveloping Ankara ‘s foreign policy foresaw a select alternate . I will not mention it again from these three analyzes . Only to land in Brussels, Prime Minister Erdogan in Ankara in the Fuller’s analysis ” based on EU accession to the Euro- centric foreign policy ” from a new trip? I want to find answers to questions . Because Fuller, forward alternative policies on the EU brings with it the disadvantage if you make a stunning statement about the following ;
“Although Turkish interest firmly towards Europe shift, with Washington in certain areas to establish good relations that dışlamas , the Turkey’s European Union with a solid relationship if within the United States relations with the rear seats to settle the case will remain . ”
Let’s ask ourselves these important questions ; Turkey when applying this new alternative of it as saving the day is the EU agenda ? Or indeed a real Turkish Foreign Policy “restoration” Do structuring input ?
My other article which is one of the major U.S. think tanks and serious and that Fuller’s permanent political consultant RAND ‘ Alireza Nader’l the situation in Turkey, Foreign Policy and the Middle East will share the answer I headed concept .
