Summary/Abstract: Instead of forejudging whether or not Turkey is a leader as understood from the title and picking those events that would prove our point we started asking questions and searched for answers looking at the events that are taking place. A leader country does not establish its stance based on the world events and does not assume the role of subcontractor in another country’s project. First and foremost, a leader country determines the policies. Within its own boundaries and with its own free will it first plans the foreign policy actions and by using one or more of its economic, cultural, military, diplomatic forces and resources throws its weight behind the conditions in the arenas it wants to be effective. One cannot speak of leadership of a country when it is powerless to get its way and unable to stop events harming it.
