Summary/Abstract: We use many concepts to relate with Turkeys’ traditional foreign politics such as conservatism, protectionism, isolation, power balances etc. Based on a qualitative method- discourse analysis- operationalizing the concepts of status quo and westernization, this article analyses the traditional foreign politics of Turkey, which traditionally is based on “preserving the regime” and “applying a western oriented politics in foreign affairs”. Some of the research questions are: what do we understand with traditional resources and how have they defined foreign politics? Which is the geopolitical positioning of Turkey in the region and globally? Till the end of the Cold war, Turkey had a rigid geopolitical tradition because during that period it played the role of “army” to prevent the further Russian expansionism towards the western countries.
