ABSTRACT

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) is a Turkish political party founded under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan on 14 August 2001. According to the party charter, its official abbreviation is “AK Parti” and its symbol is a light bulb. It is the party with the highest number of members with 289 deputies in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. The chairman of the party is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is also the president of Turkey. Like most of the countries in the world, US relations for Turkey are the most important part of Turkish foreign policy. September 11 was an important turning point for Turkey’s foreign policy. The new Islamic tsunami showed its impact with AKP government in Turkey. After September 11, Turkey was cited as an example for the Islamic world. In addition, in this process, Turkey became a strategic partner of the United States and became a soft power. As an example of Arab leaders, Turkey began to play the role of spiritual leader and conscience of the Islamic world.
