Normalization in Turkish foreign policy to proceed despite terrorist attacks

Obama's foreign policy team overplayed the anti-Bush card while trying to avoid making the same mistakes as the previous administration.

The doctrines of President George W. Bush and Obama made long-term uncertainty innate to the region, which would change the security and alliance structures of the Middle East. But how?
