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 protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. 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...

You are trying to do everything possible to stop Iranian bases in Syria. Do you believe that Iran is building permanent bases inside Syria or close to Israel?

To: The Right Honourable Russian President Hon. Vladimir Putin From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: January 9, 2021 RE: Thank you note to Russian President Hon. Vladimir Putin for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia peace treaty. l Suggestions: Hon. President, I wrote to you in the month of October 26, 2020 for your government to stop selling arms to Armenia and Turkish President to stop selling arms to Azerbaijan. But you signed peace deal between Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia is a real diplomatic victory for you and your government.
