Turkey’s new Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu revealed the government’s
agenda Monday and said the foreign policy vision is for “peace” and
“open dialogue,” the Turkish Weekly reports.

The government’s foreign policy goals were read as “Turkey being an
actor who contributes to the solution of global problems” and the
provider of “an effective, just, versatile and respected foreign
policy.”

Relations between Turkey and Armenia are a hot point on the foreign
policy agenda. The agenda said one of the crucial points of Turkey’s
normalization process with Armenia is the “handling of tensions
between Armenia and Azerbaijan, a Turkic country situated at the
crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia.”
