It’s a year since Ahmet Davutoglu has assumed as Turkish Foreign
Minister. Milliyet has taken a glance back to Davutoglu activity
to sum up dones and not-dones. First, the paper notes that Turkish
diplomacy started to be a serious role-player in the region due to
its active efforts. Ankara has assumed as mediator in the Middle East,
Asia, the Balkans. "Zero problems with neighbors" policy should also
be mentioned.
"Turkey has developed relations with Syria, Israel, Iraq. It has
launched Armenia-Turkey normalization process. Serious steps have
been taken towards the rapprochement with Greece. However, as always,
this one didn’t prove to achieve ideal results either," Milliyet says.
The efforts to achieve zero problems with Armenia brought new problems
with Baku. Similarly, ‘zero problems’ policy with Arab states led to
tension with Israel.
