[...] The two shocks of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine and more recently the effects of the Israeli war on Gaza represented the main threat to the country’s stability. [...] On the political side, despite the country has been able to silence the main opposition organizations, the effect of the economic crisis brought some sectors of the society to mobilize against the governmental policies.

[...] Although these internal challenges, the general normalization of the region7, notably after the long effect of the post-2011 revolutions, is permitting Türkiye to take on some normalization processes and to come out from the isolating situation which it was between 2019-2021, especially after the Turkish move to delimitate the maritime waters of the East Med8.
