Abstract
Türkiye için coğrafi bir manadan çok daha fazlasını ifade eden Batı kavramı, son iki yüzyılda ulaşılmak istenen modernleşme sürecinin hedefi olmuştur. Osmanlı Devleti’nin yaşadığı kayıpları gidermek üzere başlattığı süreç, nihayetinde Devletin tasfiyesini engellemek üzere kullanılan bir enstrüman haline gelmiştir. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurulması ile temin edilen güvenlik, Batılılaşmanın gerekçesini ortadan kaldırmamış aksine yeni ve en önemli hedefi haline getirmiştir. Türkiye’nin Soğuk Savaş döneminde NATO’ya üye olması ise SSCB karşısında emniyet ihtiyacının giderilmesinin yanında aynı zamanda uzunca bir dönemdir sürdürülen modernleşme maratonunda Batılı olma statüsü sağlamıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışma Türkiye-NATO ilişkilerini 70 yıllık perspektif içerisinde ele almakta Türkiye’nin Batı ile ilişkilerindeki dönüşümü, yaşanan tartışmalar içerisinde ortaya koymaktadır. Türkiye’nin NATO üyeliğinin 70 yılı değerlendirildiğinde Türkiye, NATO üyeliği ile birlikte tüm istediklerine sahip olmamış, üstelik NATO üyesi ülkelerle dönem dönem ciddi görüş, fikir ayrılıkları yaşamıştır ve hala yaşamaktadır. Tüm bu fikir ayrılıklarına ve olumsuzluklara karşın Türkiye, 70 yıldır NATO’nun uyumlu bir üyesi olarak NATO politikalarına destek vermektedir. Çalışma bu çerçevede Türkiye’nin üyeliği ve dış politikası kapsamında NATO meselesini çeşitli boyutlarıyla geçmişten bugüne ele almaya çalışmaktadır. Çalışma, belgesel kaynak tarama metoduyla elde edilen arşiv belgeleri ve diğer kaynaklar doğrultusunda değerlendirilmiştir.
The concept of the West, which means much more than geographical meaning for Turkey, has been the target of modernization process desired to be achieved in the last two centuries. The process initiated by the Ottoman Empire to compensate for losses it experienced eventually became an instrument used to prevent the liquidation of the state. The security provided by the establishment of Republic of Turkey has not eliminated justification of Westernization; in contrast, it has made it its new and most important goal. Turkey's membership in NATO during the Cold War period not only met the need for security against the USSR but also provided the status of being Western in modernization marathon that has been going on for a long time. The study discusses Turkey-NATO relations from a 70-year perspective and reveals the transformation of Turkey's relations with the West in the discussions. When the 70 years of Turkey's NATO membership were evaluated, Turkey did not have all what it wanted with its NATO membership; moreover, it had serious opinions and disagreements with NATO member countries from time to time and is still living. Despite all these disagreements and negativities, Turkey has been supporting NATO policies as a harmonious member of NATO for 70 years. The study tries to address NATO issue with its various dimensions from past to present within scope of Turkey's membership and foreign policy. The study was evaluated in line with archival documents and other sources obtained by documentary source scanning method.
