Hello,
"Turkey is located in a special region where many positive and negative international developments take place.
Turkey’s geo-strategic location and its historical-cultural ties with a large region surrounding its land oblige us to follow multi-dimensional, balanced and active foreign policies.
Turkey’s relations with Europe and Euro-Atlantic institutions constitute one of the significant dimensions of Turkish foreign policy. Within this framework, the EU accession process, Turkey’s position in the NATO alliance and relations with the United States traditionally come first on our foreign policy agenda.
Eurasia has also a significant place in Turkish foreign policy. The integration of Europe and Asia through the establishment of energy and transportation corridors and the creation of new dynamics for economic growth form the basis of our vision for Eurasia.
The Turkish people want to see peace, stability, growth and welfare in their surroundings and to make the most of globalization. The starting point of Turkish foreign policy is based on this understanding.
Turkey encourages a positive change in its region and aims to create an environment that enables cooperation rather than tensions and conflicts. Accordingly, one of the primary goals of Turkish foreign policy is to contribute to finding solutions to disputes in its region.
In the recent years, we have focused our energy on our relations with the neighboring countries. We have now overcome the opposing attitudes that separated us in the past by adopting a problem-solving approach.
Turkey also played a pioneering role in establishing various regional cooperation mechanisms such as the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization and the Economic Cooperation Organization.
Turkey is determined to continue with its efforts towards the achievement and preservation of peace, security and stability not only in its region but all over the world."
