1. Introduction:
As globalization is fueled up, the Westphalia Treaty is forgotten which also mean the decline of nation-states’ importance. Borders are also like the states but they change meaning. They are protections but at the same time circles of mine. They are the security but also the Bermuda triangle. They are lines that bring together but also separate. Borders are hopeful; borders are disappointments. Borders are reasons for peace since they are the causes of wars. Turkey having seven borders, it acts as a country of the Balkans, the Europe, the Eurasia, the Turkic world and a more conflictual region; the Middle East. As a Middle Eastern country the harsh job of Turkey got more essential, since in the Middle East, there is a rising but never declining turmoil especially after the invasion of Iraq. That’s why today, in the Middle East, any conflict can have influences immediately on other parties, like Israel and Turkey. In this paper, I will recommend policies for Turkey to the main problems of Turkey and Israel Palestine conflict, Iraq and Kurdish issue and to improve Turkish-Israeli relations."
