Turkey’s New Foreign Policy Concept: The Challenges, Advantages & Disadvantages Tested by Mavi Marmara Take-Over Raid

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 2

Abstract

Until Israel’s foundation Turkey did not pay much attention to Palestine in the same way that its predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, had done. Nonetheless within a few decades of Israel’s foundation in 1948, the Jewish state became a source of contention for Turkish-Arab relations. Turkey was one of the countries that recognized Israel soon after its proclamation of independence. During UN efforts and reports to find a way out for Arab-Israeli conflict before 1948 Turkey had supported Arab arguments opposing any kind of disintegration in Palestine lands. Turkey’s foreign policy towards Israeli-Arab conflict had a neutral-active perspective which could ease the process of confidence building measures and solution of matters. For a long time, Turkey was a peace facilitator having good relations with both sides. The sharp turn came at the beginning of 2000’s. Thus arguments on Turkey’s intend to be “new leader of Sunni Islam” in the Middle East, particularly since 2008 escalated especially after the Israeli takeover raid. The aim of this study is to unearth and analyse the so-called new foreign policy concept and the role of Israeli takeover raid in 2010 Gaza flotilla. Turkey’s shifting foreign policy concept, arguments on its post-Ottoman tendencies, leader¬ship preferences and possible effects on its fluctuating popularity in the Arab communities considering possible challenges, advantages and disadvantages are also analysed.
