"Zadnjih par godina bilo je posebno teško za Tursku, zbog velikih problema u vanjskoj politici, uz nestabilnost u susjednom Iraku, sve jače napade Kurdistanske radničke partije (PKK) i djelimičnu suspenziju pregovora o pristupanju s EU," kaže viši ekspert za Tursku u Fondu Ian Lesser.
"The last couple of years were particularly difficult for Turkey due to major problems in foreign policy, with the instability in neighbouring Iraq, rising attacks by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the partial suspension of accession talks with the EU," said a senior Turkey expert at the Fund, Ian Lesser.
