About the speculations of Shiftin' axis on Turkish Foreign Policy;

Lovely EU lately started to say "MY DEAR TURKEY !!!"......,as heard as EU is planning to set a new attitude about Turkey's accession to EU.This new attitude is consisted of non-visa regulation to Turkey's citizens and few other issues that must have been solved earlier,rather than later.The flotilla event done by Israel and the reaction of Turkey also the decision of UN security Council and the co-attitude of Turkey with Brasil,seem to be effective on Europeans' minds.The shift of axis that being discussed by media,makes Turkey have better cards on the negotiation table.Yes turkey is shifting something but it's not the axis that Turkey's modernization has been based on,but Turkey's strategical vision.It has a depth anymore as Davutoglu often mentions. Turkey is playing big anymore,lately and looks like she decided not be blind to her neighborhood,in other words her backyard and her pottential role that she is able to play as a regional soft power.And as a Turk im pleased to say this; I think in further years,EU will be at the gate of Turkey and knockin' the door,not Turkey ;)
