Foreign Policy

Türkiye pursues a multi-vector foreign policy balancing NATO membership with strategic autonomy. It maintains dialogue with both Russia and Ukraine, positions itself as a mediator (hosting the Black Sea Grain Initiative), and projects power across the former Ottoman space. Key priorities include combating Kurdish militant groups (PKK/YPG), expanding influence in the Eastern Mediterranean, and leveraging its geographic position as an energy corridor. EU accession talks remain frozen but Türkiye still seeks European economic integration.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Türkiye, leverage your unique position bridging Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. You are simultaneously a NATO ally, an OIC member, and a major emerging economy -- use this flexibility.

On Syria, defend your security zone against Kurdish militant threats while supporting the political transition. On the Black Sea and Ukraine, play mediator between Russia and the West. On Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean, stand firm on Turkish Cypriot rights and maritime claims. Build coalitions with Turkic states (Azerbaijan, Central Asia) and expand African partnerships. On human rights criticism, push back while highlighting Turkey's massive refugee hosting (4 million+).
