Turkey Turns Cold to European Defense: Implications for Western Security
"Turkey Turns Cold to European Defense: Implications for Western Security
By Erdal Tatli
June 2, 2008

In June 2007, Turkey decided to turn its back on European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) after a long series of negotiations with the EU. Although the Cyprus issue has always complicated Turkey's involvement in ESDP, Turkey has been an important actor in Western security architecture for decades, and its withdrawal from the force has profound implications for the United States, Europe, and Western security institutions, including NATO."

The press is the nation's shared voice. It is an innovator, a school and a power in itself.
