DIPLOMACY (DİPLOMASİ) - (İNGİLİZCE) Dersi Diplomacy of the Republic of Turkey soru detayı:

CEVAP:

The most important factor that facilitated Turkey’s accession to the Alliance was that the United States, as being the most important NATO member, attributed a tremendous importance to Turkey’s geopolitical position and military capacity in the context of Cold War’s security dynamics. The assumption on the part of the US strategists was that the task of fulfilling NATO’s containment and deterrence strategies vis-à-vis the Soviet Union would be much easier if Turkey joined the Alliance and prevented the Soviet penetration into the eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.
