Summary/Abstract: The public influence on foreign policy began to increase after Turgut Ozal’s term and accelerated with the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government in Turkey. Nowadays Turkish people are more interested in foreign policy. The increase in the number of newspaper pages and the minutes in newscasts allocated to foreign policy is the manifest evident of such interest. Thus, Turkish people are quite different from the Americans about their perceived importance level of foreign policy. Opposing to the American people, the foreign policy influence the incumbent evaluations, so the voting preferences.
