Abstract

The annexation of the Crimea by Russia has received various responses from the international community. Referred to as a violation of international law, the annexation continues until the referendum stage and the formation of a new status for the Crimea. Responding to this, Turkey views it as an illegal action. The rejection of the recognition of the outcome of the referendum and the assertiveness of criticism of the action is different from Turkey's cautious step in providing further responses to Russia. Based on this phenomenon, this paper attempts to examine the reasons for such a policy. This ambiguity is traced within the framework of the influence of a national identity that encourages the formation of Turkish foreign policy. The perspective used to examine this is post-structuralism with the layer’s of identity structure. Each layer contains different content but still has a relationship with each other. This paper is divided into three main sections beginning with the presentation of the problem and focus of the study, then the elaboration of LoA and the third part is the analysis of LoA and case elaboration. Furthermore, in the last section will be drawn conclusions from the exposure and analysis that has been given related cases and LoA that affect it.
