İran'ın nükleer programının analizi ve Türkiye üzerindeki etkileri

Iranian nuclear issue has three divergent dimensions as international, regional and domestic. This thesis aims to address the international, regional and domestic dimensions of the Iranian nuclear issue. With respect to its international dimension, attitude of the international community toward Iran?s nuclear programme is analyzed with a detailed overview of the approaches of major powers such as the USA, the EU, Russia and China. With respect to its domestic aspect, this thesis analyzes Iranian domestic dynamics on the nuclear issue, focusing particularly on the domestic arguments for assertion on the nuclear activity and the attitudes of political factions ?radical and mainstream conservatives, pragmatists and reformists, and the Iranian public toward the nuclear activity. Presently, there is no agreement either among divergent political factions or within the public on how the handle the nuclear issue, though they all agree on the right of Iran to continue its nuclear programme for peaceful purposes. Finally, with respect to its regional dimension, the Turkish attitude toward the Iranian nuclear issue and motives for adopting this attitude is analyzed by particularly focusing at the recent relations between the two countries in relation to the nuclear issue. Accepting the difficulty to address one issue in isolation from other major bilateral issues, repercussion of the nuclear issue is analysed by adopting a comprehensive approach.
