| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Prime Minister Recep Erdoğan sustained a convincing victory at the presidential election held in Turkey in August 2014, receiving a nationwide mandate of trust. In tandem with the new prime minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, he will try to boost the country’s domestic political capital and reach new frontiers of cooperation with the main external partners. In so doing, the Turkish government will retain its balanced course in two geopolitical directions—European and Eastern.
Nevertheless, the country’s authorities will have to constantly adjust their plans regarding the adjacent regions to meet the interests of the powers having an interest there.
These efforts aim to define both the main driving forces behind Turkey’s foreign policy choice and the interests of the Western and Eastern political centers. |
