Turkish-American Relations Will Improve
The government is optimistic about the future of Turkish-American relations.
They believe relations will improve more during the Bush administration, as
he has a tight-knit team which approach foreign policy with strategic
concepts and a knowledge of Turkey. Ankara believes the new administration is
not willing to play an active role in events that do not have a direct effect
on American interests. It is believed the Bush administration will pursue a
foreign policy in line with American global and strategic interests and will
give primary importance to trusted regional allies. Ankara believes Turkey
will cooperate more effectively in the Middle East, Balkans, Caucasia and the
Central Asia with the United States and Turkey's role in the region will
increase.
