Doctrine of Turkish Foreign Policy

Abstract

To create a complete picture and to clarify the essence of the Turkish models of regional security in the South Caucasus, we must consider the new foreign policy doctrine of the Republic of Turkey.
Turkey's foreign policy has been based on this doctrine for more than ten years. This doctrine had been developed for many years and it became known in a relatively complete form in the late 1990s.
As mentioned above, its author is a Turkish scientist, Professor of International Relations Ahmet Davudoglu (2001). Within this doctrine, he analyzed political, economic, and cultural processes from historical depths — as far back as the Ottoman Empire — to the present day, and came to some interesting conclusions.
