Abstract

The defense industry of Türkiye has been on the rise for the last 20 years. It can provide a wide range of products that meet the needs not only of the second largest army in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but also its allies all over the world. In this regard, the development of this sphere both contributes to the diplomatic efforts undertaken by the Republic of Türkiye and has important ideological value for the ruling Justice and Development Party. The article examines domestic and foreign policy drivers that influence the development of the national industry.
