TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY 2011

TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY 2011

Turkish Foreign Policy needs to be understood in the contemporary perspective of International Relations. The nature of foreign policy itself is transitional and subject to pressures and national interests of the concerned country. Shift in Turkish foreign policy is neither new nor Islamic but seems to be pragmatic and timely woven to fulfill its national goals of exercising its national power in the anarchic nature of international system in which every country is sovereign in Hobbesian terms. Of course there is a shift in Turkish policy towards its neighbors and partners but it is also important to look into its emerging demands and dignity owing to its heritage and its contributions to the NATO and sacrifice for the Western interests. Loyalty to any country is not the subject of foreign policy which is purely motivated by national interests. What seems to be unique with

Turkey

is that it is rearranging the terms and conditions of relations with its neighbors but at the same time showing its respect for the principles of the UN Charter.

The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...
