In the last decade, Turkey’s pragmatic “zero-problems” foreign policy resulted in better relations and trade with its Middle Eastern neighbours. However, with the upheavals of the Arab Spring, Turkey’s relations with Israel at an all-time low, the country’s belated public support for the revolution in Syria and an escalation of the Cyprus–European Union (EU) issue, it is questionable whether this “zero problems” policy is still relevant or workable.
