Abstract
1946’dan 2012’ye Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde Türkiye’nin Rolü ve Pozisyonu
The Black Sea Region is one of the most significant regions since the security had been largely preserved during the period from 1918 till the last crisis in Ukraine. During the Cold War era and the post-Cold War years, policy makers in Ankara and in Moscow, played a crucial role in creating order and preserving stability and status-quo in the Region. Policies of these two actors towards the Black Sea Region are assumed to be one of the most important factors in preserving the relatively secure situation of the Region. Therefore, this essay attempts to explore policies of Turkey in order to display how Turkey’s policies have overlapped with Russian policy in the Region and to understand how these policies towards the regional countries under the limitations of her relations with the USA have had a contributing effect to the security of the Black Sea Region.<
