The Effect of Political Vision of Necmettin Erbakan on Turkish Foreign Policy


The various figures in political life are the most fundamental elements that guide the behavior of individuals in the political arena. In this context, political leaders are at the top of these figures. When the Turkish political life is examined, it is seen that many political leaders have come to the forefront. Particularly in the recent period (1960-2000), it is seen that leaders like Süleyman Demirel, Alparslan Türkeş and Bülent Ecevit have come to the front of the parties. But Necmettin Erbakan remained out of this generalization. He has made significant contributions in the context of organizing religious individuals and participating in political life in Turkey with the Milli Görüs Movement which he has revealed. Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, known as academics, politicians and thinkers and a case man, has marked his political life with his ideas and extraordinary practices and discourses, which are sometimes regarded as dreams. Necmettin Erbakan, who forms the basis of our work, has taken its place in history by being out of the ordinary with the views of foreign policy. The main aim of this study is to examine the contributions of Erbakan's political vision to the Turkish foreign policy and to strengthen his argument with case studies. The perspective put forward by Erbakan for the formation of the conceptual framework of working in this framework; Party programs will be addressed through the Turkish Grand National Assembly speeches, verbal and written expressions, as well as multi-source reports from documentary sources of secondary data types.
