| Sumario: | The political regime of the Republic of Turkey created by Ataturk have always combines two mutually exclusive principles of Islam and western democracy. Fro a long period of time in its foreign policy Ankara has been foolowing the west-oriented vector. Since 1952 Turkey has been the member of NATO and at the end of the 20th century made a strong application to become the member of the European Union. At the beginning of the 21st century pro- Western politics began to enter an increasingly obvious impasse. Tukrey didn’t want to continue being a U.S. agent in the Middle East. However an attempt to play an active role in the region led Turkey to almost complete international isolation. The country was not ready a complete break in relations with influential Western allies. The loss of the status of an American agent would inevitably lead to a reduction of Turkey’s military-technical capabilities, and, consequently, of the political influence that it was achieved in cooperation with its Western patrons. The author comes to the concludes that modern Turkey resembles a power which has not determined its foreign policy priorities. It continues to pursue a sufficiently risky policy of maneuvering between regional and global players. |
