The effect of perceptions of political identity in the constitution of Turkish foreign policy

In each social formation there is a sovereign ideology that affixes its stamp on that formation even the ideological foundations of Kemalism, which is the sovereign ideology of Turkish Political identity have been constructed on the experiences, taken from a long historical past, they have been shaped essentially during Balkan wars, the First World war, War of Independence and the first fifteen years of the ? Republic ? following. We see that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Republic of Turkey, described the difficulties that he has met with before, during and after the National Struggle in his speech that he read in the second council of Republic Public convened in the great Hall of Turkish Great Assembly between October 15 ? 20 in 1927 and he emphasized that in case it is met with the similar conditions again in the coming years, it must not avoid struggling with internal and external enemies to rescue the Turkish independence and the Republic Ataturk and his fellows who hived the similar experiences with him, tarred to establish the state and its nation, first of all by making the Ottoman ? the other ? in order not to form again the conditions that they believed the yours republic caused the end of Ottoman Empire. The foundations of internal social structure and foreign policy of Modern Turkey, have been laid by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and after his death protected its general characteristics. Kemalism that gave its color to the Republic of Turkey, has drawn the frame of the regime beginning from constitution, through legal arrangements and the institutions that have been formed.The principles that describe Kemalism, identify the framework of the power relationships and political struggle and form the basis of policy. Together with the efforts of Official ideology towards the settlement of the regime, making opposite political groups to itself ? the others ? anyway, caused to be in a perception looking enemy in continuous vigilance. Those people, adherent of Ataturk and his doctrine, secular people and institutes are ready to take measures against all kinds of internal and external enemies that aim and that likely target to demdish Kemalism regime. As Ataturk said in his ?Speech? a state that has rotten and without foundation internal organization, can not have rooted and robust foreign policy. Turkey has to develop social project that will remove its internal enemies. In case it is able to do this, it can follow up an effective foreign policy within the international system and in stead of integrating with the policies of the west it can follow up a more independent policy.
