i am advisor to the turkish military. what i have been learning during my experience is that, the ideology and personality of the leaders are not too much important in shaping turkish foreign-policy. what i have been learning during , there are a lot of conceptual and structural variables that are very important in shaping turkish foreign-policy, especially turkey's foreign policy toward the middle east and turkey -united states relations. experiencingnk, the same conjectural dimensions and structural dimensions of the political and security developments in the region, within the development -- within the domestic policy, are shaping foreign-policy. you really need to focus on what is happening in the middle east, as well as in the domestic politics from the perspective of security challenges turkey has arabfacing since the spring. there are three important dimensions we can take into consideration in order to understand turkish foreign policy. what is turkey's direction will look like in the near future, in into of its i

in you know, turkish foreign policy. especially turkey's foreign policy towards the middle east and turkish united states relations, think we are experiencing the same things that conjectural dimension and the structural dimensions of the political and security development in the region within the domestic politics, you know shaping turkish foreign policy. we need to focus on what's happening in the middle east as well as you know, happening in the domestic politics from the perspective of the challenges that turkish has been facing since the i think those are three important dimensions that we can take into consideration in order to understand turkish foreign policies and what's the turkey is directly look like in the near future in terms of involvement into the middle east. so the first one i think is the regional geopolitical situation that you know, is domestically affecting turkey's foreign policy perspective toward the different issue notice wider middle east regions and the second one is security challenges, secul

i have been working on turkish policy for ten years.i worked at ministry and at the university now come and working at the organization as well as i met advisor turkish military, chief of general staff. what i am learning is my experience is that the ideology and the personality of the leaders are not too much important in shaping turkish foreign policy. what i have learned during my experience that build up, constructional, they are very important in shaping turkish foreign policy, especially in turkey's foreign-policy towards the middle east and turkey united states relations. so we are i think experiencing the same thing that dimensions and the structural dimensions of the political and cyclical development in the region as well as within the domestic politics, are shaping turkish foreign policy. we really need to focus on what's happening in the middle east as well as what's happening at the domestic politics from the perspective of secular challenges that turkey has been chasing since the iraq arab spring. those are important dimen

back in turkish history. as e see the first report hakan mentioned, we see this first report about members of the gulenist movement. i would definitely not call it an islamic movement. if i were to define it, i would mentality.s a cult it is definitely a cult. and can utilize anything that it can in order to pursue -- persuade people to do things, to brain wash them, or to blackmail them into doing it. so, if they need to look religious at some point, then they utilize religious terminology. if they need to look secular, then they utilize secular terminology. anything goes because when we look at their lives, we see they may be religious people, but everything they do is against the rules of the religion. so i would definitely not put it together with islamic movement. it is a movement, a cult movement that utilizes religious terminology to influence people and other methods that they use, among other methods they use as well. so when we look at 1990's we the he first report in police force that if they're no

to what extent is turkish democracy itself under threat? antje: i don't know how much democracy we still have. i think we can't really talk about the state of justice right now in turkey. people are arrested without any clear accusations. they are being held and detained for months without a process. i don't think we can talk about the state of law in turkey right now. we have like a demonstration of democracy because the referendum has been held, and general elections are being announced. how will you organize a referendum when the media are all under control of the government? what does that mean? that the people will be informed only from that one side? do they know what that means? did they know the consequences are, what the government did before their friend was having people being afraid of the kurds, of chaos, of gulen? there are a lot of devils in turkey, according to the government. so those people who voted for him, many of them just trying to be on the side of the angels, somehow. they didn't really have the basis to understand

they kill turkish citizens. most of them are of kurdish descent although the argument fighting for kurdish rights. and i have grown up with pkk being a horrible terrorist organization. my life. and still they get support internationally, medical or otherwise. i think it's a very great big discussion, but as far as the journalists are concerned, no, they are not there for writing articles against the government or other activities. but it is the courts to decide. i mean, i keep hearing that erdogan arrests people. okay, we are all intelligent people. president trump, the matter what he says, does he have the authority to go physically arrest people? so believe me, we do have the rule of law in turkey. that is why we still have the court case is going on. the people that you have absolute perfect evidence, it's obvious that they had killed innocent people out on the streets, they are being tried in turkish courts with the families of the victims watching. so i just wanted to ensure that the rule of law is intact.

of 80 million turkish citizens. and also citizens of other nations like the 3 million syrians that we support physically, and within our borders and outside as well, and of the people all over the world who are looking up to turkey for humanitarian help, or some of the forms of support. so this was one of the biggest attacks any democratic country, maybe within the modern history, has gone under and survived. so what was not logical was, i mean, i'm not a person who likes to dance. i grew up in texas so i know, i get a fee few about it. i have a feel but it's not logical for people to run towards the guns and tanks and bombs. it's not logical, but that date the turkish people, and this is sosososososososososososososososd the concept of struggling, for democracy. all the previous definitions, i'm so sorry there's very distinguished academics year, all the previous definitions are no longer valid. and i'm saying this as a politician. not as a politician but also as a student of international relations and political sc
