Download or read book Turkey US and Iraq written by William Hale and published by Saqi. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 has affected Turkey's foreign policy in unpredictable ways. On the one hand stood Turkey's vital alliance with the US, stretching back to the early days of the cold war; on the other, the strong opposition of the Turkish people to the invasion of Iraq. One of Iraq's most important neighbours and America's only formal ally in the region, Turkey gave vital support to the US during the first Gulf war. In the second Gulf war, America sought to project itself as the champion of democracy in the Middle East. Turkey, as the only Muslim country in the region with an acceptably democratic form of government, refused to support the US strategy. The challenge faced by the Turkish government has been to sustain good relations with the superpower, while remaining answerable to its own people. To explain Turkey's changing foreign policy, William Hale examines the relationship between Turkey, the US and Iraq since the 1920s, when the Iraqi state was first established. He also analyses Turkey's policies towards Iraqi Kurds and its 'Europeanisation' as the country aligns itself with the EU.

Download or read book Turkey and the US in the Middle East written by Gürcan Balik and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the former chief foreign policy advisor to the Turkish president and based on unprecedented access to official documents and communiques, this book gives the inside story of Turkish US relations from the first Gulf War, through debates on the Iraqi Kurdish question, the 2003 invasion of Iraq and into the present day. Using events in Iraq as the basis for a theoretical case study, Gurcan Balik argues that Turkey influenced US foreign policy on several key occasions, and that Turkish support was instrumental in the first intervention in Iraq. After Iraq's 1991 uprisings, however, Turkey's interests in the Middle East began to diverge from those of the US, and their relationship gradually deteriorated, evident in Turkey's refusal to open up its northern border to aid the US advance to Baghdad in 2003. Balik contends that an 'Iraq gap' then emerged, which has since had major implications for the Turkish economy and for the future of the Middle East.Turkey and the US in the Middle East contains hitherto unpublished primary source material, and is an essential addition to the scholarship of the period."

Download or read book Rethinking Turkey Iraq Relations written by Mehmet Akıf Kumral and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores key historical episodes to understand the reasons and consequences of the enduring partiality problem in cooperation between Turkey and Iraq. Notwithstanding their mutual material interdependence and common cultural heritage, these two close neighbors have stayed far from achieving comprehensive cooperation. The author examines contextual-discursive dynamics shaping Turkey-Iraq partial cooperation around critical events, such as the Saadabad-Baghdad pacts, the Gulf War, the US Invasion, and the war against ISIS. Leading pro-government Turkish daily newspapers of the period are analyzed to highlight ambivalent ontological-rhetorical modes and ambiguous political narratives-frames that perpetuate paradoxes of partiality in Ankara’s rationalization and contextualization of cooperation with Baghdad and Erbil.
Download or read book Turkey written by Rachelle Dunn and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-04 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several Turkish domestic and foreign policy issues have significant relevance for U.S. interests, and Congress plays an active role in shaping and overseeing U.S. relations with Turkey. This book provides background information on Turkey and discusses possible policy options for Members of Congress and the Obama Administration. U.S. relations with Turkey--a longtime North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ally--have evolved over time. Turkey's economic dynamism and geopolitical importance have increased its influence regionally and globally. Although Turkey still depends on the United States and other NATO allies for political and strategic support, its increased economic and military self-reliance since the Cold War allows Turkey relatively greater opportunity for an assertive role in foreign policy. Along with the background of Turkey and their relations with the United States, this book discusses the Turkey-Kurdish regional government relations after the United States withdrawal from Iraq.

Book excerpt: This book provides a unique and timely window into the views and opinions of a wide segment of the Turkish society on the subject of contemporary Turkish-U.S. relations. Based on interview data collected and analyzed largely by Turkish academicians, this study focuses on the opinions and attitudes of Turkish citizens across nine different sectors of Turkish society. Ranging from military officers to university students to the labor and media sectors, the depth and breadth of this multi-sectoral survey, looked at carefully by a group of scholars from broad academic backgrounds and public service expertise, serves as an important contribution to the literature. Serving as a "snap-shot" of contemporary views being expressed in Turkey, this work serves to identify and address those issues and events that have impacted or might tend to influence the conduct and future of Turkish-U.S. relations.
Download or read book The Impact of U S Turkey Relationship in Iraqi Kurdistan 2003 2011 written by Mahdi Ameen Abdullah and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the impact of United States-Turkish relations on Iraqi Kurdistan during 2003-2011, where the relations between US-Turkey deteriorated after the US occupation of Iraq in 2003, and following the Turkish Parliament's decision not to allow US troops to pass through its territory into Iraq and open a front in the north. The Iraqi Kurds took advantage of this opportunity and provided support and backing of the US forces and participated with the Americans in the fight against Baghdad. This study attempts to answer important questions regarding the impact of US-Turkish relations on Iraqi Kurdistan. It points out the ensuing rift in US-Turkish relations and the US dispensing of Turkey as a strategic ally in the region and the stepping up of the Iraqi Kurds to fill this role. Furthermore, this study identifies the historical ties and strategic interests between the US and Turkey and the importance of the latter's geo-strategic position in US foreign policy. All these factors have justified America's view that Turkey is an indispensible ally and led them to sacrifice the Kurds and their cause once again in 2007, as it has done in the past. The passing and enforcement of Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution, which relates to solving the problem of Kirkuk and other disputed territories between Baghdad and Erbil has been postponed indefinitely to appease Turkey. On the other hand, this study has found that US-Turkish relations witnessed a positive impact on the Kurdistan region of Iraq and have gone through phases of engagement and estrangement between the two countries. The Kurds exploited the deterioration of relations between the US and Turkey in 2003; they approached the US and relations normalized in 2007. This allied status with the US has had a positive impact on the Iraqi Kurds and the US has been able to convince Turkey to acknowledge the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq. Subsequently, the Prime Minster of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, visited Erbil and participated in the opening of Erbil International Airport in 2011. This study recommends that the United States to work towards consolidation of democracy in Iraq and not to allow the emergence of new dictators in Iraq. It turns specifically to the authority of a single party, the Da'wa party of Prime Minister Nūrī al-Malik, as it is dedicated to improving the Iraqi Constitution and resolving outstanding disputes between Baghdad and Erbil is considered to be a source of strength and unity in Iraqi society. Without such a foundation, interests of the US and its ally in the region, Turkey, are at risk.
