Abstract

After Erdoğan came to power, Turkey’s foreign policy has been presented with a more active and independent character with its balancing strategy well applied, all of which is reflected in its diplomatic performance in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. By analyzing Turkey’s diplomatic performance during the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine crisis until March 2023, this article finds that although Turkey’s attitude towards Russia and Ukraine has been wavering and ambiguous for a year, Turkey has shown a tendency to side with its NATO allies in supporting Ukraine in its foreign policy; at the same time, Turkey has won the praise of the international community for facilitating negotiations and its efforts to resolve the food and humanitarian problems. The Russia-Ukraine crisis has forced NATO and EU countries to pay more attention to the country’s geopolitical role amid their long-standing marginalization and distrust of Turkey. Turkey may take this opportunity to achieve improved relations with the West. The crisis has also provided Turkey with the opportunity to improve its diplomatic standing regionally and internationally. However, as a middle power, Turkey must first address its domestic political and economic problems to achieve its diplomatic ambitions.
