“…Turkey's application was seen as the best option due to the economic and political difficulties the government faced after the mid-1950s (Balkır & Williams, 1993). The main purpose of the application was to once again strengthen its role as a "friend and ally" of the United States and the West in a bipolar world through membership in the EEC, which had not yet been defined (Alpan, 2015).…”

Although the Turkish and Greek peoples have lived together for many years, they have also had to live and share problematic periods as a result of the policies of their governments. The two peoples have fought wars in the past, but have always come to each other's aid in difficult times. Due to unresolved problems and harsh rhetoric from politicians, two geographically very close neighbors had sometimes drifted apart. In the survey conducted simultaneously in Turkey and Greece, the two communities explained in detail the issues on which they agree or disagree in Turkish-Greek relations and their suggestions for solutions to existing problems. The results of this research, which reveals the perspectives of the peoples of the two neighboring countries on Turkish-Greek relations with a scientific approach and an objective point of view, will present a different vision to both societies and the governments of both countries.

“…Moreover, the signature of the Customs Union between the EU and Turkey in 1995 was introduced by Turkish political elite as the most important step for becoming European ( Alpan, 2015 ). Turkey regarded the Customs Union as a step towards full membership, although the EU never made such an indication ( Rumelili, 2007: 64 ).…”

“…Europe is considered to be based on universal values and norms including democracy and human rights, instead of rigid cultural, religious and historic qualities ( Arkan, 2016 ; Aydın-Düzgit, 2006 ; Balkır & Eylemer, 2016 ; Gülmez, 2008 ; Müftüler-Baç, 2005 ; Oğuzlu & Kibaroğlu, 2009 ; Öniş, 2010 ). Similarly, ‘Europeanness’ is largely associated with ‘democracy’, ‘democratic consolidation’ and ‘reform’ ( Alpan, 2015 ). Europe is also viewed as having a potential to become a post-national polity dependent upon Europeans’ ability to accept Turkey as an equal partner ( Aydın & Keyman, 2004 ; Baban & Keyman, 2008 ).…”

“…Turkey’s liminal position is advertised by Turkish statesmen not as a threat but as an asset to Europe ( Morozov & Rumelili, 2012 ). Accordingly, Turkey’s EU membership will not only increase Turkey’s international status, but also raise the credibility of Europe as a ‘multicultural’ actor ( Alpan, 2015 ). Besides, Turkey’s EU membership is directly linked to Europe’s capability to achieve the ‘Alliance of Civilizations’ ( Alpan, 2016: 19 ).…”

“…On a final note, cultural events including the Eurovision song contest and European football tournaments are highlighted in the literature as important triggers of debates both in Turkey and Europe about Turkey’s Europeanness ( Alpan & Şenyuva, 2015 ; Christensen & Christensen, 2008 ; Şenyuva & Tunç, 2015 ). For instance, Turkey’s iconic victory in the 2003 Eurovision song contest turned out to be rewarding for Turkey’s European credentials ( Christensen & Christensen, 2008 ).…”

This research aims to offer a valid answer to the question of how Turks and Europeans perceived each other in cultural and identity terms throughout history. With this purpose, it makes a thorough analytical review of the extant scholarly literature on identity relations between Turkey and Europe. There is an evident lack of scholarly attention on the evolution of mutual representations comparatively in the long durée. Most scholarly works focus on specific periods of time and investigate either how Turks view Europe or visa-versa. This systematic review provides the basis for an evolutionary analysis of mutual identity representations between Turkey and Europe over more than a two-hundred-year period. The period under focus starts with the French Revolution (1789) triggering intensive identity debates between Ottomans and Europeans and lasts until mid-2010s when bilateral relations between Turkey and the European Union went into disarray. This long period has been divided into four shorter periods each starting and ending with a remarkable event in world politics or bilateral relations. The study examines each period in relation to four focal issues, namely, nationalism, civilization, status in international society, and state-citizen relations generating intensive identity discussions in both Turkey and Europe. The article first presents the key findings of the relevant literature on European representations of Turkey and on Turkish representations of Europe in the four historical periods. Then it scrutinizes the extant literature on each period with respect to the four focal issues. Overall, the study, through a comprehensive literature review, demonstrates the ways in which mutual identity representations in Turkey and Europe have been contested over a two-hundred-year period.
