This study aims to examine the relations between Türkiye and the United States in terms of Turkish Foreign Policy, primarily based on the events that took place between 1960 and 1970. In this decade, the relations between Türkiye and the USA have played an essential role in determining world politics. There was political apathy in Türkiye-USA relations in the early 1960s, as the ties between the two led to the USSR-USA Jupiter Missile crisis and the threat of nuclear war, and then the tension escalated with the Cyprus crisis and the Johnson letter. Towards 1970, with the change of government in Türkiye after 1965, Türkiye-US relations gained a new dimension, and a new path was followed with the approach of the two states to each other. However, in the emerging conjuncture, radical changes were made in Turkish Foreign Policy, the one-sidedness in relations with the USA began to be questioned, and Türkiye’s relations with the Third World (Non-Aligned) and Islamic countries were tried to be improved. This study will shed light on the period by examining the factors that affected, determined, and directed Türkiye-US relations in the decade between 1960 and 1970 and the outcomes of this process.
