Turkey and East Central Europe: idealism, pragmatism, misperception or clash of interests?

Uproszczony widok
dc.abstract.enTurkey is focused on Russia in its policy vis-à-vis the Black Sea region, Caucasus, Ukraine, Balkan countries as well as, at least to some extent, Central European countries, including Poland. This priority has its impact on Ankara's relationship with Eastern and Central European countries, which remain in the shadow of Turkish policy towards Russia. However that negative impact is not powerful enough to spoil Turkey's cooperation with Eastern and Central European countries. It certainly limits the scope of such partnerships or alliances. Turkey continues to cooperate with the region's countries, but often rejects their Euro-Atlanticism. In Turkish perception the EU's enlargement in Central Europe was unjust (as Turkey has been applying much longer for the EU's membership without any significant progress, whereas post-communist countries were accepted relatively quickly). NATO enlargement in the East in Turkey's view was always a 'risky adventure'. At the same time, from Ankara’s point of view the Middle East is strategically more important than Turkish northern neighbourhood. Moreover, Turkey wants to be an equal interlocutor in dialogue with Russia, the U.S. and the EU, whereas it often conceives post-communist and post-Soviet countries merely as a zone of influence for the Kremlin and Washington or their battleground in Cold War 2.0.
