THE PROSPECTS FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS BY TURKEY: MILITARY AND POLITICAL ASPECT
https://doi.org/10.37493/2307-910X.2022.4.14
Abstract
The Middle East continues to be one of the main areas in the world threatened by widespread nuclearization. All attempts to establish a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region have failed. At present, a significant number of Middle Eastern states can be classified as near-threshold states, which in the very near future may announce a political solution. These states should also include modern Turkey, which has sufficient potential for the development of a military nuclear program. Accordingly, the military and political prerequisites for Turkey's possible entry into the nuclear club require analysis. Thus, the purpose of this article is to conduct a study of the scientific and technical potential, political base and ideological basis of Turkey's possession of nuclear weapons.
