Turkey’s forays into the Middle East
For most of the 20th century, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) rarely appeared on Turkey’s radar as anything other than a source of threats.

description | For most of the 20th century, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) rarely
appeared on Turkey’s radar as anything other than a source of threats. The Justice
and Development Party’s (AKP) 2002 ascension to power changed this, and Turkey
increasingly began to turn toward MENA, especially as its prospects of joining the
EU waned. Politically, Ankara pursued a “zero problems in the neighborhood”
approach, forging strong commercial ties and mediating in disputes. The region’s
complexities, however, and Arab fears of Turkey aspiring to “neo-Ottoman”
dominance, created early stumbling blocks. By 2017, Turkey found it had plenty of
problems in the neighborhood and preciously few friends. With the narrative of a
“Turkish model” for MENA at rest, Turkey is now struggling to fashion a strategy
that would allow it to deflect challenges emanating from the region while shoring
up its influence over its immediate neighbors. |
