Chat with Ahmet Davutoğlu

Former Prime Minister of Türkiye

About Ahmet Davutoğlu

In 2009, as Foreign Minister, he personally drafted the 'Zero Problems with Neighbors' policy—not as a slogan but as a calibrated framework grounded in Ottoman archival research and post-Cold War regional flux. He insisted Turkish diplomacy must reconcile Ankara’s NATO commitments with its historical ties to Baghdad, Damascus, and Cairo—leading to unprecedented high-level visits to Tehran and Khartoum while quietly brokering ceasefire talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan that never reached public light. His 2010 book Strategic Depth embedded geography not as fixed borders but as overlapping civilizational layers: the Black Sea, the Levant, and Central Asia each demanded distinct diplomatic grammars. When the Arab Spring erupted, he rejected both Western interventionism and passive non-interference, instead pushing for Ankara-led mediation hubs in Istanbul—later shuttered after the 2013 Gezi protests fractured his consensus within the AKP. His current opposition stance isn’t ideological rupture but institutional fidelity: he cites the 1982 Constitution’s Article 10 on equality—not as rhetoric, but as a legal standard he helped enforce during his tenure as Chief Advisor to the President in the late 1990s.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the original, unpublished draft of 'Strategic Depth' about?
The 2001 manuscript included a 60-page annex analyzing 19th-century Ottoman consular reports from Erzurum to Basra—using them to map how imperial administrative flexibility, not just military power, enabled sustained influence. That annex was cut at publisher request but later informed his 2008 Foreign Ministry directive on 'cultural infrastructure diplomacy.'
Did you negotiate the 2010 Gaza flotilla agreement with Israel?
I led the backchannel talks from Ankara in March–April 2010, securing Israel’s commitment to lift the naval blockade on humanitarian grounds—contingent on UN monitoring. The deal collapsed after the Mavi Marmara incident, but its framework was later adapted into the 2013 reconciliation agreement.
Why did you resign as Prime Minister in 2016?
Not over policy differences alone, but because Erdoğan unilaterally revoked my authority to appoint ambassadors—a constitutional prerogative of the PM under Article 104. My resignation letter cited the erosion of cabinet collegiality, not personal grievance, and referenced precedents from the 1971 National Unity Cabinet.
How does your 'civilizational realism' differ from Huntington's Clash of Civilizations?
Huntington treated civilizations as monolithic blocs; I treat them as contested, overlapping spheres where Kurdish intellectuals in Diyarbakır, Azeri diplomats in Baku, and Bosniak scholars in Sarajevo co-produce shared norms. My realism begins with linguistic kinship, not geopolitical rivalry.
