NEW PERIOD IN TURKEY’S RELATIONSHIP WITH SUB SAHARAN AFRICA: RE-LOADING
Öz
Although Turkey’s relationship with SSA countries dates back to the Ottoman Empire, it started to accelerate in the early 2000’s. Turkey has implemented roadmaps and programs with SSA countries starting at this time, including infrastructure investments, social and cultural projects, education, defense spending and private sector ventures. This interest in SSA countries stems from Turkey’s interest in becoming a regional power and having a say in international matters, which is due to its desire to support underprivileged nations. Theoretical reflections of this are; humanitarianism and entrepreneurial diplomacy. A reason that the relationship is growing is that SSA countries have also been willing in this regard. By the way, the Fetullah Gulen Community, backed by the government, has been present in these countries since the 2000’s, and it has led to some confusion that the Turkish government later announced this group a terrorist organization with their increasing conspiratorial actions in Turkey beginning in 2013, and declared the Fetullah Gulen Organization’s actions illegal in Turkey and abroad. The resulting confusion has decreased and is continuing to decrease after the attempted coup in Turkey by FETO in 2016, Turkish officials’ repeated visits and the effort of government officials in the region. At the point that the communication between two countries is strained, it is foreseen that talks on the new period have begun and both parties will try to increase cooperation on all fronts. In this paper, the current status of affairs will be evaluated, and areas of improvement will be analyzed.
