Turkey and improving its relations with Israel

PEJOURNAL - An in-depth review of Turkey's foreign policy makes it clear that no clear and fixed policy has dominated Turkey's foreign policy over the past two decades. During the not too long period, Turkish officials claimed that they were willing to resolve all their tensions with all neighbors, but in practice, not only did they did not reach this issue, but the conflicting interference and behavior of the Turks caused many neighboring countries to have deep tensions with them in various areas, including geographical, political, economic and security areas.

Turkey; Returning of Europe’s headache

BY: Damir Nazarov Turkey expands the borders of intervention throughout the Middle East despite the abundance of economic problems and the prospect of being drawn into a series of large-scale conflicts, under the slogan of "protecting democracy" . In almost every hot spot in the region, the Turks built military bases or sent officers to train local AK Parti loyalists. Ankara imposes and justifies its occupation of Muslim countries by protecting local " democratic forces "(North-Western Syria, Libya), fighting "terrorism "(Northern Syria and Iraq), "helping allies "(Qatar, Somalia, Yemen) and "cooperation for economic purposes" (Sudan, Djibouti)*. The question arises, where…
