Summary/Abstract: Throughout the Cold War, Türkiye stood as a reliable defender of Europe’s southern flank, firmly aligned with NATO against the Soviet Union. However, in the past decade, this alignment has softened. Türkiye’s growing ties with Russia and strained relations with the United States and certain European nations have blurred its role within the Western security structure. Since the early 1990s, Türkiye and Russia have significantly strengthened their economic and political ties.3 As a case in point, the annual number of Russian tourists visiting Türkiye grew consistently from 1.3 million in 1996 to 7 million in 2019, making them the largest group among all nationalities.
