Abstract: Türkiye as newly shaped state with its proclamation as a republic in the 20th century had at its beginnings embraced many values of the Western world, including some in matters of foreign policy actions. But its geographical position gave it not only a great advantage, but also a great challenge: that of shaping its identity and constantly ensuring its protection on two continents. Constantly held back from making high-impact geopolitical decisions, Türkiye has been forced several times in its recent history to decide its position. Its decision to be part of NATO, to continue the process of secularization and the intention to be part of the E.U were such moments, but the events in the Middle East and its complicated relationship with Russia turned it out of its way. The past years showed us a divided Turkey, increasingly isolated and which seems to put its future on the scaffold, and the present work aims to identify and exemplify such moments.
Key words: Turkey, foreign policy, dilemma, NATO, EU, Russia, Middle East
