Abstract
Turkey’s policy has become more interested in the Islamic roots of Turkey. Furthermore, global changes have once again brought Turkey's attention to the Arab and Islamic worlds. The relationship between Turkey and the Arab World is old as one can remember. Geographical proximity and cultural ties are among the prominent factors that enhanced the relationship between Turkey on the one hand, and the Arab World on the other hand. The relationship between Turkey and the Arab World becomes more complicated when secularism adopted as a doctrine by modern Turkey. Furthermore, the Arabs during the 1950s and 1960s split into many independent states with different political and ideological orientations. Nevertheless, the focus of this paper is not to describe and analyze the historical-cultural ties between Turkey and the Arab World. Instead, the focus will be on the Turkish support of Arab causes in the United Nations General Assembly “UNGA” in the twenty-first century, a subject requires more methodological attention. The emergence of the Turkish new foreign policy paradigm has resulted in changing its position towards Arab issues, which has shifted from neutrality and indifference to leadership and pro-Arab causes. The data of this study confirmed that Turkey largely supports Arab issues related to the Palestine issue and the ArabIsraeli conflict during the third millennium. However, when it comes to Arab issues of a controversial nature, such as human rights and the Arab-Arab conflicts, Turkish support becomes less clear. Therefore, the environmental changes surrounding Turkey have resulted in increased support for Arab issues in the third millennium, a link that was missing in the context of the traditional Paradigm of Turkish foreign policy.
