U.S. Concerns Turkey Close to the East
|
In the past 29 years, the United States and Turkey, government, military and business leaders gathered in Washington every year to discuss bilateral relations between the United States soil. This year's conference was the most tense time for many years. Turkey and the participants expressed a strong partnership between the West has gradually weakened, and Ankara in orbit bias geopolitical concerns in Asia.
In the past year, Turkey in the United States manipulated the program division of the United Nations sanctions against Iran cast a "no" votes, and Brazil also co-drafted a protocol on exchange of Iran's nuclear fuel. Furthermore, Turkey and China held joint air force exercises, the United States was very unhappy. At the same time, a close ally of Israel, the United States attacked the Turkish vessels aid in Gaza, sparked a fierce protest against the Turkish side. The conflict between Turkey and Armenia, the failure of conciliation Sudi is also rather disappointed to Washington.
German Marshall Fund's Turkey expert Ian les said that although the soil-US relations are often strained, but the recent tension between the two countries have worsened, the two sides argue even more acute. "One reason is that bilateral relations are now facing the most controversial issue is related to the core of foreign interest is precisely the problem. Not just this government's core interests, but also the core of U.S. national security interests."
Although some experts throw out the relationship between the United States concerns about soil and the terrible forecast, Turkish and U.S. officials still insisted that the United States and territories of both countries is consistent with the basic strategic interests, the current problem is temporary.
Turks and Americans believe that recent events exacerbated by a series of negative public opinion on the other side is indeed a minefield, and ultimately may seriously harm the strategic partnership between the two countries.
Even the annual meeting of the Council in the United States soil this friendly atmosphere, the two sides of the conflict are also evident. Such as the U.S. hopes that Turkey will participate in NATO's missile defense system, but Ankara openly dissatisfied with the system for Iran.
Turkey's concern that the current U.S. Congress is discussing sanctions against Iran would have commercial relations with Iran, a negative impact on Turkey. Meanwhile, Washington has promised Ankara a lot of people questioned the sincerity of support for the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
Some analysts have pointed out that speculation or whether it is true, with its ears gradually deviated from the West stems from the country's democratization process. Forces of the Justice and Development Party has shaken up the military in Turkey's pro-Western leadership. Turkey's leaders care more about the current public opinion.
"The word used to describe the populist very appropriate than the east side or the Islamists are right. They really care about polls," U.S. National Defense College, said an expert on Turkey, "Turkey, although increasingly The more democratic, more confident, but how its people do not like the fact that the United States also made a considerable headache for the Government of Turkey.
