    1) Turkey's foreign policies have been questioned as it is unclear what goals Turkey is trying to achieve. Some argue Turkey lacks clear strategies. 2) Turkey has signed agreements with the EU but does not want to fully implement them, such as opening ports to Cyprus, which undermines its credibility and status as an international partner. 3) Turkey's domestic policies towards Kurds and its approach to the Armenian issue have become stuck without progress, suggesting a lack of effective strategy. Clear strategies are important for any country to achieve its objectives through foreign and domestic policies.

    THE BLACK CAT BETWEEN ISRAEL, EGYPT AND TURKEY: STRATEGY


    Napoleon III was the President of the French Second Republic and the ruler of the Second French Empire as
    Napoleon III. He initiated a coup d'état in 1851 and became dictator before he ascended the throne as
    Napoleon III on 2 December 1852. Napoleon who ruled as Emperor of the French until 4 September 1870 had
    idée fixe regarding to not being accepted by the people and other states and wasn’t a good strategist. Although
    Napoleon III applied great foreign policies, because of his idée fixe and bad strategies, France lost the area of
    Alsace-Lorraine and Germany was founded by Otto von Bismarck. Nowadays the foreign policies of Turkey are
    interrogating. What does Turkey want to do? What is that aim of Turkey? Is Turkey applying true strategist?

    Strategy is definitely important particularly for foreign policies of any state. Maybe, we should this question:
    Can Turkey reach its aims by applying the strategies in its foreign policies? As regarding to this, Jihad Awda said
    that it isn’t known what Turkey want to do in foreign policy and this situation creates confusing.

    In fact, if we consider Turkey’s policies, we can understand easily how much true it is. For example, Turkey
    signed a treatment with EU and according to a matter of this treatment, it’s necessary for Turkey as a rule that
    Turkey must open its ports to all members of EU for trade. But Turkey doesn’t want to open open its ports to
    Southern Cyprus. Actually it isn’t a thing which will be done according to Turkey’s demand. If you signed the
    treatment, you have to do it. Or you are ready to be censured because of not obeying an international
    treatment. Maybe Turkey can do this: Turkey couldn’t sign the treatment or it could sign that, but it couldn’t
    accept just this matter. In other alternative Turkey could want a new matter to put in the treatment or it could
    determine clearly that it wouldn’t open its ports to Southern ports. We can see this truth the openness or
    events related to Kurd and Armenian problems. I don’t know the aim of Turkey while it is applying the policies.
    But the policies which are applied by Turkey in Domestic Policies weakened the power of Turkish Army and
    gave encourages to Kurds. Therefore the events of terror and activities of Kurds increased. I don’t follow news
    much more, but, I think this policy entered cul-de-sac for Turkey. The situation like this is seen at the Armenian
    Problem. After Turkish-Armenian Protocol, Turkey and Armenia couldn’t cover any ground.

    A policy, domestic or foreign policy it doesn’t matter, is a whole and meaningful together with with strategy. If
    there is no a strategy in any policy, the aims which are desirous can’t be reached. Unfortunately, the statesmen
    (or the stateswomen) aren’t a good strategist. In 1974, at Cyprus Operation, Prime Minister, Ecevit focused
    how we benefited from this instead of absolute result regarding to Cyprus Problem. The result is immediate
    situation. That’s why; as the author said, even though other states are accepting that Turkey’s foreign policies
    are good, Turkey isn’t know what to do or Turkey can’t tell its intention. In other words, the foreign policies
    spread nonconfidence. Because Turkey doesn’t know what it doesn’t want what to do or Turkey can’t its
    intention which is wanted to become a reality by Turkey.

    In conclusion, it isn’t good that a person say bad things about Turkey. Particularly, these is to be said a person
    from Egypt. This is an indignity. Because of this, the statesmen (or the stateswomen) in Turkey need to learn
    strategies especially if we consider historical events. And Turkey should determine strategical plans more truly
    and its intentions more clearly.
