Graham Fuller on Turkish-American Relations

Graham Fuller, author of a recent book on Turkey (The New Turkish Republic: Turkey as a Pivotal State in the Muslim World, U.S. Institute of Peace, 2007)  summarizes the challenges of Turkish-American relations and Turkey’s role in the Middle East regionally in a piece from the LA Times:

“Our Fraying Alliance With Turkey,” Los Angeles Times, Oct. 19,  2007

In his book, Fuller argues that Turkey will become more and more independent in its foreign policy in ways that are likely to bring it into conflict with the United States (pp. 3-10). This more independent policy, however, will better serve the cause of regional stability (p. 180).
