中东剧变给土耳其带来了前所未有的机遇和挑战。十年来，土耳其在正义与发展党领导下，在政治层面实现了从议会制到总统制的政治体制变革，在经济层面抵御了因未遂政变、里拉货币危机带来的巨大冲击，在外交层面成功完成了由传统的凯末尔主义到“新战略纵深主义”的战略转型。面对冲突不断、危机四伏的中东地区局势，土耳其充分发挥其地缘政治优势和政治智慧，运用将外交手段和军事打击相结合的方式，以小博大，实现了其在叙利亚北部建立安全区、清除库尔德人势力的战略意图。
The upheaval in the Middle East has brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to Turkey. In the past ten years，under the leadership of the Justice Development Party，Turkey has achieved a political system change from parliamentary system to presidential system at the political level. It has resisted the huge impact of the attempted coup and the Lira crisis in economic sector，and successfully achieved the transformation of foreign policy，from traditional Kemalism diplomatic thought to the “new strategic depthism”. Facing the situation in the Middle East，where the conflict is constantly，Turkey has fully utilized its geopolitical advantages and political wisdom，using a combination of diplomatic means and military strikes，and indirectly achieved the national strategic intent，that is to establish a safe zone in northern Syria and the remove the influences of Kurdish forces.
