This study deals with the basic principles that underlie the Turkish security policy, since the end of the 2nd World War. The author analyses some of the security problems dealt with by the Turkish government in the seventies and eighties, with a focus on the internal economic problems. In reviewing its security policy, Turkey faces difficult options: the independent line versus NATO, the Non-Aggression Treaty with the Soviet Union, either a non-alignment stands or a leaning towards the Middle Eastern or Islamic trends. The author concludes that Turkey will not take any of these options in the near future, but, more probably, will only put some gradual modifications to its original path. (DÜI-Sdt)
