The Effect of the Russia - US Alliance on Turkish Foreign Policy

Abstract

This article examines the global and regional impacts of the Russia-US alliance. In the first section, the developments in US–Russia relations during The Trump presidency and the collaborations in various fields are explored. It highlights the convergences in critical areas such as energy, arms control, and counter-terrorism. The second section analyzes the reflections of this alliance on regional geopolitics and its effects on Türkiye. It discusses how cooperation between Russia and the US has shifted power dynamics in the Middle East and how Türkiye has been affected by these new balances. The adaptation of Türkiye's foreign policy to these new challenges and its positioning amidst changing power dynamics are also discussed. The third section focuses on how Türkiye should define its position in this bipolar world order. Faced with the necessity of choosing between the UK-EU-China and the US-Russia-India axes, the article analyzes Türkiye's steps and policies in this context. It presents suggestions regarding the strategies adopted by Turkish foreign policy during this process, and the potential axis with which it might align in the future. In conclusion, the article argues that Türkiye should adopt a balanced approach to these alliances, acting in accordance with regional stability and national interests.
