Essay / Turkey: bridge between the Western world and the middle world...
Turkey being an intercontinental country, it is located in South-West Asia and South-East Europe. Turkey is a large country with relatively few natural resources. Turkey has taken various steps to restore and develop its investment strategy through government reform, ending foreign investment screening and strengthening copyright/patent laws (and law-making). On the other hand, investments have been inhibited due to the arguments raised regarding foreign investors and certain policies in Turkey such as high tax policy and persistent shortcomings in the ruling Copyright and Patent Government . Turkey has also concluded numerous bilateral investment and tax agreements, even with the United States, which guarantee the free expulsion of investments and assets in tradable currencies and eliminate double taxation of income. In 1952, Turkey merged with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and is now also a candidate for the European Union. “The Kurds wanted to have their own independent nation. This is why he got involved in several fights with Turkey demanding equal political and social rights” (Mohammed Fiyaz Al Ahmed, February 22, 2014, 1:50:17 p.m.). Yes, Kurdish independence was one of the main domestic issues facing Turkey at all levels. The Kurdish-Turkish confrontation is an armed conflict between the Republic of Türkiye and the Kurds. Kurds have called for separation from Turkey in order to create an autonomous Kurdistan and also to enjoy better political, social and human rights for Kurds in Turkey. The main rebel group is the PKK, known as the Kurdistan Workers' Party. Most of them in Türkiye were not ready and were against Kurdish autonomy. Likewise, some PKK members did not want energy to move from the Middle East to Europe, where Turkey leads the way in distribution. Turkey plays the role of mediator between Iran and the United States on Syria. For all these reasons, Turkey was and remains important to many countries, including the United States. The most important policy that the United States and other countries pursue toward Turkey is the promotion of democracy. It must be based on the fact that democracy has global importance and is not just the sole cultural privilege of progressive Western civilizations. Another notable principle of American foreign policy is the perseverance that reigns throughout the world to demonstrate respect for human rights. Turkey must stop its actions against civil human rights, which destroy its own citizens. Another policy must be continued hostility to violence in the international system..
