A Realistic Outlook}, journal={International Journal of Economics Administrative and Social Sciences}, volume={2}, pages={126–145}, year={2020}, url={https://izlik.org/JA69MC83LF}, author={Ormeci, Ozan}, keywords={Türkiye-Rusya İlişkileri,Realizm,Ekonomik Müttefiklik,Stratejik Müttefiklik,Ak Parti}, abstract={Following the end of Cold War, Turkish-Russian relations entered into a new era of continuous progress. While Turkey’s political and military ties with NATO and the United States persisted, Turkish-Russian cooperation quickly deepened in terms of energy sector and economy in general. Thus, in the early 2010s, two countries began to be labeled as “economic partners”. However, disagreements between Ankara and Moscow continued in various political and diplomatic issues. Moreover, due to tensions caused by the Syrian civil war, Turkish-Russian relations entered into a short turbulent period between 2015 and 2016 with the “jet crisis” and the “Karlov assassination”. This article aims to discuss the prospects of Turkish-Russian relations from a Realist perspective and to question whether developing “economic partnership” could actually transform into a “strategic partnership”.}, number={2}
