• W135241780 abstract "Turkey, Past and FutureUnder Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, AKP), Turkey's foreign has been associated with prescriptions and efforts of three men: Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President Abdullah Gill, and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. Davutoglu, a former international relations professor, has been most articulate exponent of troika's ideas, penning perhaps most authoritative summary of its worldview in his 200 1 StratejikDerinlik (Strategic Depth)1 and coining its foremost article of faith: a zero-problems policy with Turkey's neighbors because Ankara wants to eliminate all problems from her relations with neighbors or at least to minimize them as much as possible.2This might all be well and good if such words were supported by actions. But Davutoglu has also described Turkey as a heavyweight wrestler, hinting that it may use the maximum of its abilities when dealing with its neighboring middleweight wrestlers.3 A survey of Ankara's relations with these middleweight wrestlers reveals its problems policy to be little more than a cover for AKP's reasserted neo-Ottoman ambitions.THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEANAchieving a zero problems status with Greece and Cyprus would seem to be most difficult goal for Ankara to attain, given both countries' painful history with Turkey.Even if one could put aside long and tortuous past - from Greek war of independence of 1820s, to 1923 uprooting of Greeks from Asia Minor, to sporadic crises over Aegean islands(1976, 1987, 1996), to continuing standoff over air space and territorial waters - AKP's rise to power has exacerbated, not allayed, tensions.Far from following a zero problems with Greece, Turkey maintains existing problems and adds new ones: It has made alleged violations of Muslim minority's rights in Western Thrace an item on Islamic Conference's agenda4 and has muddied waters over what constitutes Greece's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) by questioning role of Greek island of Kastelorizo (one mile off Turkey's coast) in detennining that EEZ. And Davutoglu's ambitions did not stop here:The security of Balkans is increasingly identified with security considerations of Turkey's western border. The security zone that has been established in eastern Thrace during Cold War should be extended to west with multilateral and bilateral agreements which should be made on a Balkan level.5These are not mere words. Ankara has recently signed a military cooperation agreement with Albania, allowing docking privileges for Turkish warships at Dures, thereby marking return of Turkish navy to Adriatic Sea after centuries.6 The press has reported that Turkey is responsible for cancellation of an agreement between Athens and Tirana over delimitation of maritime zones,7 and Turkey has also initiated major programs of military assistance to former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, a state with which Greece is in dispute over use of name Macedonia. Finally, Turkey continues to flood Greece and European Union with tens of thousands of mostly Muslim illegal immigrants.8Meanwhile, already fraught relations with Cyprus have worsened. Turkey not only works against ending continued and illegal occupation of northern half of island but seems bent on increasing problems. Such behavior is not all that surprising considering Davutoglu's belief:It is not possible for a country that neglects Cyprus to have a decisive say in global and regional politics . . . Even if there was not one Muslim Turk there, Turkey had to maintain a Cyprus issue. No country can stay indifferent toward such an island, located in heart of its very own vital space . . . Turkey needs to see strategic advantage which it obtained ... in 1970s, not as component of a Cyprus defense policy, directed toward maintaining status quo, but as one of diplomatic main supports of an aggressive maritime strategy. …" @default.
