What were the objectives Turkey expected to achieve from this relationship? What roles has Turkey assumed in the OIC to achieve them, and how consistent have these roles been with Turkey`s alliance ties with the West? To what degree, if any, have the Turks been able to achieve these objectives and what were the reasons for their successes and failures? These are the main questions that will be considered in this analysis. It is the hope of the author that the analysis that will be carried out in this work, aside from exploring an important aspect of Turkey`s relations with the Islamic WorId, will also contribute to a realistic assessment of the capacity Turkey is currently assumed to have by the West1 , as a Westernoriented Islamic country, to play a stabilizing role in her increasingly volatile neighbourhood in the post-Cold War era.
