ARAP BAHARI SONRASI TÜRKİYE İRAN İLİŞKİLERİ: PRAGMATİK UZLAŞMANIN BOYUTU

Bu makale Ortadoğu'da yaşanan son gelişmelerin Türkiye-İran ilişkileri üzerine nasıl etkilediği ve bu iki ülke arasındaki pragmatik yakınlaşmanın muhtemel kapsamının ne denli olacağı sorularına yanıt aramaya çalışmaktadır. Her iki ülkenin Arap Baharı'nın nedenleri ve sonuçlarına yönelik farklı yaklaşımlara sahip olmasıyla beraber diğer bölgesel meseleler Türkiye ve İran'ı rekabetçi bir ortama sürüklemiştir. Bunlara rağmen, iki ülkenin arasındaki karşılıklı bağımlılık ve bölgesel dengeler değerlendirildiğinde bu ülkeler arasındaki ilişkilerin tamamen kopması beklenmemektedir. Yine de tüm bunlara rağmen, 2002 sonrası mevcut Türk Hükümetiyle beraber bölgesel ve uluslararası ortamın teşvikleri sayesinde iki ülke arasındaki ilişkiler kayda değer bir şekilde gelişmiş olsa da bu ilişkiler devam eden ve ileride olabilecek gerginliklerden de asla muaf tutulamaz. Bu nedenle, Türkiye ve İran'ın tam anlamıyla olgun ve güçlü bir işbirliğine gireceğini değerlendirmek çok da doğru bir tahmin olmaz.

RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND IRAN AFTER THE ARAB SPRING: THE EXTENT OF A PRAGMATIC RAPPROCHEMENT

This article is attempting to find an answer to the questions of "How are Turkish and Iranian relations affected by the recent happenings in the Middle East and what is the possible extent of pragmatic rapprochement?" It is believed that both countries' contradicting ways of understanding the reasons and the outcomes of the Arab Spring together with several regional issues have put Turkey and Iran into a competitive atmosphere. However, due to the interdependence between Turkey and Iran together with the regional balances, a severed relationship between these particular countries is not expected. But although there is a considerable enhancement in Turkish-Iranian relations since 2002 encouraged both by the current Turkish government and regional as well as international atmosphere, it is not free from any tensions and therefore it would be miscalculating to claim that both countries have formed matured cooperation that is very strong.
