Turkey’s transformation has already put an end to the Cold War-style security-state apparatus that ruled the country for half a century, and has changed the framework of the country’s domestic and foreign policy. By modernizing and democratizing at home, Turkey’s politicians gained self-confidence in their ability to conduct a successful regional policy.
土耳其的变革已经终结了统治该国长达半个世纪的冷战型的国家机器，并改变了该国内外政策的框架。通过国内的现代化和民主化，土耳其的政治家们对实施成功的区域政策的能力充满了自信。其结果是土耳其的领袖们现在愿意追求积极的中东政策从而将该国与邻国之间的问题最小化。
