Abstract

Utilizing the theory of securitization and security sectors of the Copenhagen School, this article analyses the re-securitization process of Turkish foreign policy on Cyprus after the collapse of the peace talks at the Crans Montana Conference in 2017. The failure of the negotiation process to reach a solution based on the UN Parameters and the subsequent outbreak of the Arab Uprisings in 2011 along with the rivalry that arose over the exploration and discovery of offshore gas resources in the Eastern Mediterranean have all contributed to the revival of Turkey’s traditional and ‘securitized’ Cyprus policy. The discourse analysis reveals three types of threat projections under the military and societal sectors and a case of counter-securitization under the political sector.
