الدور التركي والتغييرات في المنطقة العربية

Abstract

Especially during the recent period, very positive steps have been achieved towards developing our relations, both on bilateral and multilateral platforms, with the Arab world that Turkey enjoys deeply rooted historical, cultural, social and religious ties.Establishment of lasting peace and stability in the geography that we share with the Arab world is one of the main priorities in Turkey’s foreign policy. At a time when the world in general and the Middle East in particular pass through an extremely critical period, Turkey attaches great importance to close dialogue and co-operation with the Arab states. As one of the strategic components of the Middle East geography, Turkey has therefore taken important steps over the last few years to develop and diversify its relations, both on bilateral and multilateral basis, with the Arab world. Within this framework, our Ministry established consultations mechanisms with a number of Arab countries, including Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.
