    Is the United States Losing Turkey ?

    1
    By Sarah Akel on 2 September 2007 Uncategorized

    A majority of Turks still wants to see their country firmly anchored in the West. But their patience is wearing thin because of what they perceive as European double standards and American neglect of Turkish national and security interests. Under such circumstances, European and American policy makers would be well advised to stop taking Turkey’s pro-Western orientation for granted. It is time to revisit the conventional wisdom that Turkey has no strategic options other than the West. Unlike during the Cold War, Turkey now has a Russian and Eurasian strategic alternative that looks increasingly appealing to growing numbers of frustrated nationalists within the country. If Turkey’s relations with the United States continue to deteriorate, while relations with Europe also take a negative turn, Ankara could very well opt for closer strategic relations with countries such Russia, Iran, Chin, India and the larger Islamic world. Americans and Europeans who do not take this risk seriously undederestimate the nationalist resentment already building up in Turkey.
