İran Nükleer Krizinde Bıçak Sırtında Siyaset
Politics on a Knife Edge in the Iranian Nuclear Crisis

Summary/Abstract: Turkey ought to follow a delicately balanced policy in the nuclear crisis escalating between the USA and Iran. Within this context, Turkey should continue to support diplomatic efforts to dissuade İran from developing nuclear weapons on the one hand, while enhancing its deterrence against Iran by investing in missile defense systems and nuclear technologies. If diplomatic efforts fail, Turkey should remain neutral in a limited military operation executed against Iran, thereby eliminating a nuclear threat which might target her in the future through the efforts of third countries. Nonetheless, success in such an intricate policy demands prior preparation. For this reason, without losing further time, Turkey should start developing realistic and scenario-base strategies that take into account all contingencies apropos Iran.
