Turkey and its Middle Eastern Neighbours: Threat or Opportunity for the European Union? | ||
in Asian Affairs , Volume 40, Issue 1 , 2009 , 34 - 43 | ||
Following the end of the Cold War, Turkey has been rebalancing its relations with the Middle East. The author considers how Turkey's unique historic relations with Iran, Iraq and its other neighbours might be of assistance to the European Union. It also explores the connection between the accession negotiations and Turkish internal politics, with special reference to the Kurds. | ||
