from Yahoo news
Turkey put its imprint as one of the most influential countries not only on 2010, but on the first decade of the third millennium.

Especially after the Gaza flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, blockaded by Israel, was brutally raided by Israel, killing our nine innocent citizens, and effectively ruining the Turkish-Israeli relations, the arguments that ?Turkey has turned its back on the West and shifted its foreign policy axis? started to be more frequently and loudly voiced.

Die Türkei als Energiedrehscheibe. Wunschtraum und Wirklichkeit

by acturca

SWP-Studie, n° 9, April 2010, 36 Seiten

Heinz Kramer

Seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre verfolgt die Türkei das Ziel, sich zur Energiedrehscheibe zwischen Europa und der kaspischen sowie der nah-/mittelöstlichen Region zu entwickeln. Dieses Ziel deckt sich mit dem Interesse der EU, für die Erdgasversorgung ihrer Mitglieder einen ?südlichen Korridor? zu schaffen. Deshalb ist die Frage nach den Erfolgaussichten der türkischen Politik auch für die EU und ihre Mitglieder relevant.

The way forward for Turkey and the EU: a strategic dialogue on foreign policy

by acturca

Policy Outlook (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) December 2010

Heather Grabbe & Sinan Ülgen

Turkey?s membership negotiations with the European Union (EU) have regrettably slowed to a crawl after five years. At least half of the 35 negotiating chapters, or subject areas, which need to be agreed on are blocked on the EU side owing to the problem of Cyprus and France?s opposition to Ankara?s membership. The only hope for progress now is for Turkey to implement the Additional Protocol to the Ankara Agreement that calls on Turkey to lift the restrictions on Cypriot vessels from being admitted to its ports and airports. This would be welcome, but it?s a long shot. Meanwhile, Turkey and the EU both face urgent foreign and security issues that cannot wait. As a result, they need a new, more effective channel for strategic dialogue to complement the accession process.
