Araştırma sorusu Türkiye'nin o dönemdeki mevcut iç ve dış sorunlarına karşın nasıl olup da aktif bir politika izleyebildiğidir. Bu çalışma yeni bir devlet kimliği arayışı sürecinin bu politikada etkili olduğunu savunmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkiye, Bosna, Balkanlar, dış politika, devlet kimliği Abstract The main aim of this essay is to examine the policy adopted by Turkish decision makers toward the Bosnian War between 1992 and 1995. The puzzling question is that why Turkey attempted to play an active role during the war in Bosnia in spite of its internal and external problems at the time. This study argues that the search for a new state identity in the post-Cold War era provided the key to understand Turkish foreign policy towards the Bosnian conflict. It is argued that by developing an active attitude toward the conflict, Ankara was in fact trying to reformulate its former identity, which had been constructed during the Cold War. Turkey was trying to prove that it was still important for Western security in the new era. The study shows that the wars of Yugoslav dissolution witnessed many speeches of Turkish leaders declaring the greatness of the country. This dominant discourse was accompanied by an active foreign policy by the Turkish leaders. At the time Ankara started many diplomatic initiatives to bring the Bosnian issue to the attention of the international community. This study argues that the discourse and foreign policy during the Bosnian War were caused by Turkish leaders’ desire to show Turkey’s still lasting geopolitical signifance to the world. KeywOrds: Turkey,, Bosnia, Balkans, foreign policy, state identity. INTRODUCTION This article examines the policy adopted by Turkish decision makers toward the Bosnian War between 1992 and 1995.

Karadeniz Araştırmaları • Kış 2011 • Sayı 28 • 1-18 Birgül Demirtaş Coşkun understanding Turkish foreign policy toward the problems in former Yugoslavia. It is argued that by developing an active attitude toward the conflict, Ankara was in fact trying to reformulate its former identity, which had been constructed during the Cold War. Turkey was trying to prove that it was still important for Western security in the new era. It was trying to project its new identity as a regional power, but it wanted to maintain its Western-oriented foreign policy as well. Its active policy in the Balkans can be attributed to its search for a reformulation of its former identity in accordance with new international circumstances. The article will, first, look at the position of Turkey in the new conditions of international politics in the post-Cold War era. Second it will examine the theoretical approach that is believed to be useful to understand its foreign policy toward the Bosnian case. Third it will consider Ankara’s approach toward the outbreak of the violence in Yugoslav territories, mainly in Slovenia and Croatia. Fourth its attitude during the Bosnian War that was the longest lasting and the bloodiest conflict in Europe after the Second World War will be analysed. Fifth and last the main findings of the research will be summarized. TURKEY IN THE NEW INTERNATIONAL ORDER The collapse of the Cold War led to a new perception of Turkey in the West; Turkey, which had considered herself an inseparable part of the West during the Cold War, found itself in the position of an “awkward partner”.1 The basic question was what kind of role Turkey would play in the new conditions of global politics. Would Turkey continue to be a part of the Western alliance or turn its face to the newly independent Turkic republics? However the Gulf crisis which erupted in 1990 and resulted in US-led war against Iraq changed the US perception of Turkey.2
