Turkey's relations with the European Union have recently come back into focus. Ibrahim Kiras argues that Turkey's current political structure is not conducive to deepening cooperation with the EU.

Kiras questions the historical ties between Turks and Europe, as well as NATO's role in Europe. He particularly emphasizes the changing dynamics of Turkey's relationship with the United States.

Ultimately, the renewed recognition of Turkey's military power and the re-emergence of the idea of a European NATO could mark a significant turning point in international relations.
