Turkey’s Rising Influence: U.S. Congress Examines Relations

In a recent development, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs has turned its attention towards Turkey, assessing the country's growing influence in the Middle East and Europe. The hearing, led by Europe Subcommittee Chairman Keith Self, highlighted Turkey's strategic importance and its complex relationship with Western nations. The discussions underscored Turkey's rising power, which has been a topic of concern and interest in U.S. foreign policy circles.

Experts from various think tanks, including the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, provided testimonies on the need for the U.S. to bridge the gap with Turkey. They emphasized the importance of understanding Turkey's geopolitical ambitions and its impact on regional stability. The hearing also delved into the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose policies have significantly shaped Turkey's foreign relations.

The interest in Turkey's role was further fueled by a podcast from the Moshe Dayan Center, which explored Turkey's ascent as a regional power. This comprehensive examination by the U.S. Congress reflects the country's recognition of Turkey's pivotal role in global geopolitics and the need for a nuanced approach in dealing with this key ally.
