A EVREN'S PERSPECTIVE TO TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY IN THE 1980-1989 PERIOD

Abstract

The 1980 and later period, especially the 12 September 1980 coup, is undoubtedly one of the most important periods of Turkish political life. The events before and after September 12 constitute a breaking point in Turkish politics. It's possible to feel the dynamics that this creates even today. In particular, politically and socially, it still maintains its freshness in society's memory. Even today, the effects of the 12 coup and the impact of the coup have been seen in some places in daily life. This is precisely why we need to examine this important period of Turkey and the most important actor of this period, Kenan Universe. The aim of the study is to understand the reflections of this transformation to the present day, especially the impact of Turkey's political life on Turkish foreign policy and, most importantly, the perspective of Ahmet Kenan Evren, one of the sharper revisionists of his age, and to evaluate internal and external politics from his perspective, and to follow a scientific methodology, the studies in the literature were reviewed and written with the intention of reflecting the period from an objective point of view.
