Арестакес Симаворян, « FORECASTS ON TURKEY’S FUTURE », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.6f648e...
Over the recent years futurologists from a number of authoritative US institutions have been occupied with the analysis of the scenarios and forecasts of the future of the foreign and domestic policy of Turkey. More or less well known are the scenarios which differ from each other in terms of prospective developments such as “Turkey 2020”, “Vision of Turkey 2023” and others. All this can be supplemented by the theory of a deep strategy connected with the foreign political sphere of Turkey which is often associated with “Ottomanism”. According to different estimations a stunning economic upturn is expected in Turkey and it will either turn into a country which plays a crucial role in the region or into a country which suffered deep crises and as a result was divided between different states. In fact, forecasts are divided into optimistic and pessimistic. Pessimistic observations prevail among Turkish approaches, not counting “Vision of Turkey-2023” on the threshold of the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic, meanwhile the representatives of the western analytical community always allot to Turkey all the possible positive achievements not only on the regional but also on the global levels.
