Grandeur et décadence de la diplomatie Turque

Abstract

In his study on Turkish diplomacy from 1923 to 2003, Jean Catsiapis tends to show how Ankara experienced successes as well as setbacks in two areas: the Cypriot question and the Iraqi problem. The aurhor emphasizes that it was impossible for Turkey to carry out multidimensional diplomacy, oriented primarily towards the Turkish-speaking countries of Central Asia and Islamic states which are members of the Islamic Conference Organisation Turkish diplomacy has remained focussed on one goal only: EU membership.
