Abstract (EN)

On September 11th, 2001, the World Trade Center in New York City which has symbolized the power of the American economy and the Pentagon which has respresented the military power of the United States, the planes which belong to the civil aviation have been hijacked by 19 people as of 15 Saudi Arabian after the bombs have been loaded on them, although passengers are inside, the suicide attacks that they have organized were the beginning of a process that further increased the Muslim–Christian polarization in the world. 1993, The Clash of Civilizations and the Re-establishment of the World Order, published by Samuel Huntington in 1993 and later expanded into a book, is still frequently mentioned, especially after the events of the September 11 and the arguments put forward are still in effect. Huntington's thesis before the September 11 defends the argument that in determining the internal and external relations of civilizations, not only political/diplomatic attitudes but also culture, language, religion, economy, historical perspective and identity are within the scope of influence. According to the author, this is precisely the main source of regional and global breaks, agreements and uncertainties in need of assessment. East–West relations, which have been studied in detail by many scientists and thinkers before Huntington, from modernism to the pre-medieval period, are indeed the subject of a very comprehensive discipline. As mentioned above, given the fact that civilization cannot be handled by a single element, the difficulty of making a thesis on the subject can be predicted. In this provocative and intriguing work, Huntington has made striking predictions about the recent past of civilizations he has divided into seven, and where future projections could carry them in the light of data. This work, which has been widely commented on and thought to remain its freshness, has also been subjective, and has been rewarded by some with its view that it revealed the truth. In his comprehensive work, Huntington states that the essence of the Islamic world is intolerant and confrontational, and therefore argues that it must be separated from Western civilization. In this study, the author's focus examines the events of the September 11 we can evaluate as a specific issue under Islamic civilization and Turkey which the author regards as a divided country after this attack, the United States, the Middle East and will be dealt with relations with the European Union. Keywords: World Trade Center, The September 11, The Clash of Civilizations, Islamic World, The Middle East, Western Civilization, World Order, Future Projections
