This thesis has been approved and accepted on 28 May 2012 by Prof. Aydın Babuna ____________________________________ (Thesis advisor) Prof. ġevket Pamuk ____________________________________ Prof. Kemal KiriĢci ____________________________________ June 2012 An abstract of the thesis of Orçun Selçuk, for the degree of Master of Arts from the Atatürk Institute for Modern Turkish History at Boğaziçi University to be taken in June 2012 Title: Turkish Airlines as a Soft Power Tool in the Context of Turkish Foreign Policy The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the close relationship between Turkish Airlines and Turkish foreign policy. Overall, it is found that Turkish Airlines as a national airline company has always been affected by the developments in Turkish foreign policy in history. However, since the 1980s Turkish Airlines has been openly used by Turkey as a foreign policy tool to facilitate its opening up to new countries, regions and continents. It is also suggested that despite the privatization of Turkish Airlines, the Turkish state is still very influential in the decision-making process that manifests itself in the area of foreign policy.

  • Italy's Contribution to the Mexican Powder
    Italy’s contribution to the Mexican powder keg Most small arms and light weapons imported into Mexico come from the United States, but most of the rest are manufactured in Italy. In the last twelve years, Italy has been the second largest exporter of non-military guns, rifles and ammunition in Mexico, far ahead of other important exporters such as the Czech Republic, Spain, France, Austria, Belgium, South Korea, and Israel. On average, Italian companies have sold and shipped ten thousand pistols and revolvers and 1,100 rifles to the Mexican market every year for the past twelve years. Many Italian ‘civilian weapons’ have been also sold to Colombia and Guatemala, probably feeding the grey and black market. In the same period of 2007-2018, Mexico has been the second largest Latin American customer of military weapons produced in Italy, after Brazil. Apart from major weapons systems produced by Leonardo, Beretta group dominates Italian military exports to Mexico: in the same twelve-year period, it sold at least 50 million euros worth of weapons (data is in round figures because Italian government reports on military exports are tricky to interpret). What did the Beretta group sell to Mexican armed forces? - More than 17,150 SCP 70/90 automatic assault - 303 Sako TRG 22 sniper rifles; rifles (5.56x45 NATO caliber), and 23,000 spare parts for these rifles, in particular ammunition - 3,030 guns (40 caliber); magazines of 30 rounds, since the rifle can fire - 505 rifles (22LR caliber); 670 rounds per minute at a distance of up to 300 meters; - 505 guns (22LR caliber); - More than 19,000 ARX 160 assault rifles - 13,130 guns (9x19 mm caliber); (5.56x45 NATO caliber) and 16,000 spare parts; - 2,020 guns (9 caliber short or .380 auto); - 650 GLX 160 grenade launchers, adaptable to - 1,010 Stoeger rifles (12 caliber).
