Publisher Description

During his first bilateral intercontinental trip after his election, President Barack Obama visited Turkey in April 2010. During his visit he used the expression "model partnership" to define US-Turkey relations. Ever since Obama's visit, Turkish and American analysts of Turkish-American relations have been debating what "model partnership" really means. Both sides have emphasized the importance of Turkish-American relations and suggested that a redefinition of relations after the Bush presidency was necessary. However, it seems that there is no agreement on what "model partnership" is or will be. Some analysts and even politicians have argued that the Flotilla Crisis and Turkey's "No" vote at the UN Security Council put an early end to "model partnership," which is now only a bygone hope.
