Abstract

With the AKP's coming to power in Türkiye, Türkiye began to pursue a strategy of closer engagement towards the Middle East region. The increase in threats to Türkiye in the region, since 2016, has led to the combination of Türkiye's active diplomacy with its active military policy. Türkiye carried out major military operations in Syria and northern Iraq, and took great steps to protect its national security. At the same time, Türkiye supported military operations in Libya and Karabakh, not only in the use of military capabilities, but also in raising the Turkish defense industry to a higher level, which created another important dimension to its active diplomatic and military activities.
