Turkish foreign policy has changed considerably in recent years and has become increasingly aggressive. Esme Nicholson talks with Sinem Adar and Hürcan Aslı Aksoy on how domestic political dynamics shape Ankara’s foreign relations with Europe.
An Overview of Institutions and Politics

Ankara’s harsh response to the protests at Boğaziçi University belie the vulnerabilities of the AKP/MHP coalition. Sinem Adar argues that Europe should not turn a blind eye to the repression of dissent.
Sinem Adar and Hürcan Aslı Aksoy hold that, even with a change in government in Ankara, Turkey’s main interests in Syria will remain unchanged, in particular, preventing Kurdish autonomy under the leadership of the Democratic Union Party (PYD)/YPG, warding off a new influx of refugees in Turkey, and resettling Syrian refugees in Syria.
Turkey’s economy is in crisis. But President Erdogan had his head in the sand. So, how long can he cling on to power? And what will follow?
Polonya ile Belarus sınırındaki mülteci krizi devam ederken; Türkiye, Avrupa Birliği'ne (AB) Irak, Suriye ve Yemen vatandaşlarının havayolu ile Belarus'a gitmesini -bilet satmayarak- engelleme taahhüdünde bulundu. Ankara daha önce Polonya'dan gelen benzer bir talebi kabul etmemişti. Alman Uluslararası İlişkiler Güvenlik Enstitüsü Uygulamaları Türkiye Araştırmaları Bölümü'nden (CATS) Dr. Sinem Adar, krizi Avrupa Birliği'nin göçmen politikaları ve AB-Türkiye ilişkileri açısından değerlendirdi. AB'nin göç sorununu güvenlik meselesi olarak yaklaşmasının yarattığı sorunlara dikkat çeken Adar, Türkiye'nin AB'den "teşekkür alan" tutumunun da fiiliyatta uluslararası hukukta suç kabul edilen "geri itme" olduğunu belirtti.
