Abstract

Turkey-EU relations have been covered in many different aspects, but a detailed examination of the views and preferences of Turkish domestic political parties on Europe stands as a gap in the literature, especially for the period after 2013. This thesis analyzes and describes the political views and preferences of main Turkish political parties on Europe for the period June 2013-June 2015 with reference to the liberal theory of international relations. The deliberations in the Turkish Parliament is chosen as the data sources for the views and preferences of different political groups. The commonalities and the differences between the stances are clarified and discussed in detail with a sixfold classification along with their positive and negative orientations. The articulation of Turkish views and preferences and the interpretation of the data yields significant results which contribute to the discussion on the Turkey-EU relations and the relevance of European institutions and values in Turkey.
