AL-QAIDA, WAR ON TERROR AND TURKEY

What is it about?

In this article, we emphasize that the impact of new international terror and the subsequent global war on terror has divided the world into two zones, the peace zone and war zone. The peace zone consists of Western countries and accompanying countries that have been primary targets of the war zone, especially in the area of international terrorism.

Why is it important?

We underline that continuous Al-Qaida attacks signify the vulnerability and weakness of defence, security, and intelligence systems against new international terror. In this regard, the threat posed has a global reach and the U.S., European countries, and pro-Western states, in particular pro-Western Muslim-populated countries around the world, take these attacks seriously. These attacks also influence domestic policies of target countries and create controversies in policies regarding the U.S. led global war on terror and methods used in waging war against terror in their own context. In addition, attacked countries have become more sensitive about the terror issue.
