Turkey and Developments of Syria

Abstract

Government of Turkey which claims that it is a
successor of Ottoman Empire tries to be leader of changes in
political movements in the region which rises with starting of
Arab spring in the Middle East. In any Arab states which
protest has been begun, US and Europe and other countries
like Turkey support protesters. Turkey's claim on the
leadership of changes and the formation of new Middle East
which is approved by powerful Arab states has theoretical
bases and there are many paradoxes in its act and theory. This
paper demonstrates how turkey emphasizes on its historical
ottoman heritage and national interests. Turkey demands
higher and better position in the region by using the events related to Arab spring.
