Conversations on Groong Check out part 2: https://youtu.be/cKq4ziiRZjA
In 2002, Turkeyโs Justice and Development Party (AKP) won a sweeping victory in the countryโs general elections, dominating and shaping domestic and foreign policies of Turkey for nearly two decades to this date. Outwardly, under Erdoganโs and AKPโs leadership, Turkey has transformed from a country with a stated and acclaimed foreign policy seeking โzero problems with neighborsโ to one that is actively engaged in economic, political and military rivalry with its Middle East and other regional neighbors, as well as balancing global players. Armenia is deeply affected by the quality of relationships that Turkey conducts with each of its neighbors.
In this first part of our Conversation on Groong about Turkey, we explore Continuity and Change in Political Culture and Foreign Policy in Turkey covering transition from Kemalism to Islamism, as defined by the AKP. We look at how recent events fit together within the framework of continuous, yet changing, state policies. We also discuss Turkeyโs foreign policy in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean.
