Роль Турецкой Республики в посредническом процессе между Украиной и Россией

RU

Турецкая Республика с момента вооруженного нападения Российской Федерации на Украину 24 февраля 2022 года осуществляет посредническую деятельность между конфликтующими сторонами в рамках широкой дипломатической деятельности, основной целью которой является побуждение сторон к прекращению огня, выработке условий мира и окончательного завершения войны. Хотя посредничество Анкары пока не привело к ожидаемому прорыву, достигнута договоренность об экспорте зерна и обмене военнопленными. Цель рассуждений, предпринятых в тексте, - проанализировать роль Турции как посредника в войне России против Украины, обозначить условия вовлечения Турции в процесс посредничества и проверить эффекты действия турецкой дипломатии в краткосрочной и долгосрочной перспективе. В связи с поставленными задачами были приняты следующие гипотезы исследования. Во-первых, перед лицом российской агрессии против Украины Турция заняла позицию «стратегической автономии», которая позволяла ей сохранять авторитет при посредничестве между сторонами и заботиться о жизненно важных интересах в сфере безопасности и экономики. Во-вторых, участие Турции в посредническом процессе способствовало повышению позиций и престижа страны на международной арене, что является важным элементом неоосманской стратегии президента Реджепа Тайипа Эрдогана, реализуемой на протяжении двух десятилетий. В-третьих, дипломатическое наступление Анкары способствовало потеплению турецко-американских отношений, которые с 2016 года находятся в глубоком кризисе. При подготовке текста использовались следующие инструменты исследования: анализ, синтез и вывод.

Since the armed attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the Republic of Türkiye has been to mediate between the conflicting parties as a part of extensive diplomatic activities, the primary goal of which is to induce the parties to a ceasefire, work out peace terms, and, finally, end the war. Although Ankara’s mediation has not yet led to the expected breakthrough, it has managed to reach an agreement on grain exports and exchange prisoners of war. The paper aims to analyse the role of Türkiye as a mediator in Russia’s war against Ukraine, indicating the conditions of Türkiye ‘s involvement in the mediation, and verify the effects of Turkish diplomacy in the short and long-term. Regarding the defined objectives, the following research assumptions were adopted. First, in the face of Russian aggression against Ukraine, Türkiye adopted the ‘strategic autonomy’, which allowed it to maintain its credibility in mediations between the parties and to take care of vital interests in the area of security and economy. Second, Türkiye’s involvement in the mediation has contributed to the country’s increased importance and prestige in the international arena, which is an important element of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s neo-Ottoman strategy that has been implemented for two decades. Third, Ankara’s diplomatic offensive contributed to the warming of Turkish-American relations, which have been in deep crisis since 2016. The following research instruments were used in the preparation of the text: analysis, synthesis, and inference.
