Abstract

First of all, thank you very much for giving us this opportunity
to talk about Turkish foreign policy with you. There have been some
important changes in Turkish Foreign Policy since Justice and Development
Party (AKP) came to power in 2002. This change has been expressed in
different ways: increased multilateralism, Turkey’s increasing soft power in
the region, zero problem with its neighbours. How do you evaluate the AKP
foreign policy from 2002 to 2011? Do you see this as a distinct period of
Turkish foreign policy
