InterRegional for Strategic Analysis

Geography is the main factor shaping foreign policy for Turkey’s PM Erdogan. It still controls his self-perception and position in the world. Since the Justice and Development Party (AKP) took power, Turkey has been adopting a different approach in handling its foreign affairs. A major part of this new foreign policy has focused on the "endowment" and the "Endowment of Children in the Turkish World." This children’s endowment is a form of soft power that strengthens Turkey’s regional and international position. Turkey also uses it as one of the recruitment tools for conscripting future generations in countries belonging to the Turkish world. The Turkish regime believes that those children will be the seed for restoring the Ottoman legacy.
