The G20 summit, held on 15th – 16th November 2015 in Antalya, was meant to provide Turkey with an opportunity to demonstrate its international role, particularly in the Syrian context. Although Turkey called for measures to be taken against the Assad regime or for the autonomy of Syrian Kurds to be limited, these have always been treated with caution. Following the terrorist attacks carried out by Islamic State (IS) in Paris they have been pushed further aside. Thus Turkey’s Middle Eastern policy was in an impasse and strategic divergences in its relations with the West (the US, the EU) have been growing. |
