In terms of domestic policy, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has solemnly announced that important reforms will be launched in the fields of the judiciary and the economy, but this article will focus on the initiatives in Ankara’s foreign relations.
Turkey has achieved some breakthroughs in its initiatives in Libya and in Nagorno-Karabakh.
