Why Türkiye's opposition fails on foreign policy
There is a paradox at the heart of Turkish opposition politics that grows more consequential with each passing year. It reflects a deeper intellectual failure—a refusal to recognize that the world has fundamentally changed, and that the mental frameworks guiding opposition foreign policy were built for a reality that no longer exists. And no country's foreign policy requires a more sophisticated security intelligence framework to navigate it effectively. The Turkish opposition, in its foreign policy posture, is substantially reasoning from memory rather than from current intelligence. When a party's foreign policy statements are primarily calibrated to signal opposition to the government, to appeal to particular constituencies, to differentiate itself within a competitive electoral landscape, the result is a foreign policy that serves domestic purposes while failing as actual foreign policy.
