چکیده:
Relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey entered a new phase in 2002 after Islamists came to power led by the Justice and Development Party, which is referred to as the spring of relations between the two countries. However, it seems that recent developments in the Middle East have confronted the relations of the two countries with challenges. Therefore, the present article attempts to analyze the components of Ankara's policy change according to constructivist theory and examine its consequences for the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research findings support the hypothesis that the most significant challenges in Iran-Turkey relations are concentrated around three issues: developments in Syria, the so-called Islamic Awakening movement, and the deployment of the NATO missile defense system on Turkish soil. The third factor has had the greatest impact on the relations between the two countries because, unlike previous factors, it is considered a direct threat to the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research method in the present study is descriptive-analytical, utilizing library and internet resources.
خلاصه ماشینی:
As a result of the new foreign policy of the Islamist Turkish government, known as Neo-Ottomanism, the continuation of Ottomanism during the era of Kemalism and the Ottoman Empire means exerting influence in the Islamic world and striving to gain leadership over it, competing with Iran, maintaining and expanding relations with the West, especially the United States, and striving to achieve a superior position for Turkey in the region.
The authors of this article believe that with the re-election of the Justice and Development Party in the June 2011 elections, the current goal of Turkey's foreign policy, known as Neo-Ottomanism, is the continuation of Ottomanism in order to exert influence in the Islamic world, compete with Iran, maintain and expand relations with the West, and strive to achieve a superior position for Turkey in the region.
Given the adoption of such a policy, Iran-Turkey relations will be challenged in three main areas: the developments in Syria and the movement known as the Islamic Awakening due to Turkey's efforts 138 to counter Iran's influence in the region and also to gain leadership of the Islamic world and the deployment of the system NATO missile defense on Turkish soil in order to maintain and expand this country's relations with the West, especially NATO and the United States.
