Summary/Abstract: Location of Turkey and its periphery represents geography of conjunction and grift areas for modern and postmodern geopolitics. On the one hand, while the USA, frontier of modern geopolitics, has triggered a great transformation in that geography in pursuit of its national interests, at the other side, the EU, unique sample of post modern understanding, has been playing a role, mostly in parallel with USA, in that transformation with its exclusive structure. The common scenario behind these transitions is their wrapping up the country internally and externally with a web strategy and its target is to disable them to use political will and power by keeping up their "nation - government" structure under influence and control. In that article it is aimed to define EU’s soft power structure and intervention mechanism behind its subtle methods less known in comparison to USA’s.
