Evolution of Turkey-Africa Relations

The Rome-based Istituto Affari Internazionali published in August 2016 an analysis titled "Turkey's African Experience: From Venture to Normalisation" by Mehmet Ozkan, Turkish National Police Academy in Ankara.

The author states that Turkey's policy in Sub-Saharan Africa between 2005 and 2015 was transformed in such a way that it now constitutes one of the main focuses of Ankara's foreign policy. He argues that Turkey's foreign and development policy towards Africa has changed at ideational, societal and institutional levels.
