“…58 In addition to humanitarian and security concerns, Turkish business associations and chambers of commerce also expressed their sensitivity about the possible economic implications of such a conflict. 59 The potential impact on the energy sector was a particular concern, as Turkey imported 30 per cent of its gas and 50 per cent of its oil from Iran. 60 In addition, the Iranian crisis also revealed the lack of credibility of US policy in the region.…”

“…Turkish-Iranian relations in this sense can be described as context-dependent and should be analyzed case by case. For instance, contrary to the United States, Turkey is supportive of Iran's nuclear program as long as it is used for peaceful purposes (Gürzel 2012;Gürzel and Ersoy 2012).…”

With the election of the Justice and Development Party (JDP hereafter) 1 and Qatar's leadership change in 1995, there is no doubt that interactions between Turkey and Qatar have gained pace. The Turkey-Qatar alliance reached a new high after the Arab Spring, with these two countries emerging as two pro-revolutionary states that are disturbing the status quo in the Middle East. The ties established between Turkey and Qatar have continued even after the Arab uprisings: Turkey stood by Qatar during the 2017-18 diplomatic crisis between Qatar and the Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain. Similarly, Qatar supported Turkey financially after the devastating currency crisis in August 2018. Moreover, Turkey has established a military base in Qatar, which is of critical significance in the history of Turkish foreign policy. Therefore, one can safely argue that Turkey and Qatar have formed an alliance based on their diverse military and economic needs.This analysis argues that Turkey and Qatar sought to change the regional status quo in order to forge a new regional security order. Accordingly, to achieve this goal, Turkey and Qatar cemented an alliance based on their diverse qualities as military and financial powers respectively. Nevertheless, the fundamental cause of the Turkish-Qatari alliance in challenging the regional status quo lies not only in concerns related to their security or power-seeking behavior, but also in certain shared values and common visions based on their ideas and identities. Therefore, it can be claimed that the transformation in the domestic politics of these states played a decisive role in shaping the Turkey-Qatar alliance, which in turn has had a major impact on the regional mosaic in the Middle East. In a nutshell, this paper contends that the Gulf security sub-complex was reshaped in the wake of the Arab uprisings, notably through the emergence of Turkey and Qatar as revisionist states. Accordingly, it

“…Realçamos, também, que as mudanças capitaneadas por Erdoğan foram mais acentuadas, enquanto que Lula lançou mão de preceitos consagrados da política externa brasileira (como a defesa da pesquisa nuclear para fins pacíficos) para nortear suas ações, além das alterações decorrentes de seus traços pessoais, naturalmente. Por último, traçamos uma avaliação dos pretextos conjunturais que moldaram a atuação desses Estados diante da Declaração de Teerã, dentre as quais destacam a argumentação favorável ao uso da energia nuclear com fins pacíficoso Brasil já tem usinas nucleares há bastante tempo, e a Turquia tem projetos para construir trêse o interesse no estreitamento de laços econômicos com o Irã, uma vez que ambos têm uma grande produção de artigos muito requisitados no país dos aiatolás (Pinto, 2012;Gürzel, 2012).…”

A Convergência Turco-Brasileira na Declaração de Teerã The Turkish-Brazilian Convergence in the Tehran Declaration ANDRÉ LUIZ REIS DA SILVA 1 RICARDO FAGUNDES LEÃES 2 Resumo: A Declaração de Teerã de maio de 2010 foi uma iniciativa turcobrasileira que visou à solução da questão nuclear iraniana. Após sucessivos fracassos, a comunidade internacional, capitaneada pelo P5 + 1 (Estados Unidos, China, Rússia, Reino Unido, França e Alemanha), surpreendeu-se com o sucesso dessa empreitada, mas não aproveitou seus resultados, encetando uma nova rodada de sanções internacionais ao Irã, a fim de debilitar ainda mais o regime islâmico. Neste artigo, partiu-se do entendimento de que a aproximação entre Brasil e Turquia se deu por diversas razões, as quais tinham origens de ordem estrutural, situacional e conjuntural. Dessa forma, realizou-se um balanço desse processo, esmiuçando os fatores que motivaram os governos de Lula e Erdoğan a se juntar para tentar dar um fim à crise nuclear no Irã.
