Turkey has experienced important changes under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) during 2000s and by 2010s Turkish foreign policy evolved into a point that differs from its traditional tendencies. From the very early years of the republic's foundation till 2000's, the main aim of the Turkey's foreign policy was to secure the status quo agreed in Lausanne Peace Treaty. And second important aspect of traditional Turkish foreign policy was the Western oriented policies. In this article it is argued that the AKP period brought out some new tendencies to Turkish foreign policy: Moderate Islamism and sect (Sunni) based foreign policy orientations are among the most salient new tendencies that AKP has brought to the scene. Sect based orientation became clear first in relations with Iraq's centra! government in late 2000's and then went forward at the Syria crisis. The reasons behind leaving the short lived foreign policy concept of "zero problem with the neighbors" and replacing it with an aggressive foreign policy with motives of neo-Oltomanism are evaluated and tried to be explained.
