Özet
One of the significant shifts in Turkish politics occurred during the Turgut Özal era. Turgut Özal, who profoundly transformed the political, social, and economic paradigms that had dominated Turkish political life since the establishment of the Republic, also played an important role in shaping the country's foreign policy during his approximately ten-year tenure. Özal’s influence, particularly through the new initiatives, understandings, and strategies he pursued in foreign policy, aimed to provide a new perspective on the country's international identity and its regional and global role. Türkiye's regional role in the Middle East was also impacted by this evolving understanding, marking a significant shift from the perspectives that had prevailed since the founding of the Republic. However, this transformation was not confined to foreign policy alone; Özal's foreign policy decisions also led to changes and transformations in the established dynamics of Turkish political life in the subsequent years. This article aims to reveal the reflections of Özal's foreign policy decisions regarding developments in the Middle East on Türkiye's domestic politics. In other words, it examines the changes in Turkish political life in terms of both decision-making processes and outcomes, focusing on the impact of Özal's policies on critical developments in the Middle East. In this context, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Iran-Iraq War, and the Gulf War between 1983-1993 have been identified as key developments to study Özal’s foreign policy decisions. Adopting a qualitative analysis method and based on the analysis of secondary sources, the article argues that Özal's Middle East policies caused changes in Türkiye’s domestic politics in terms of actors, structural arrangements, and state tradition.
