Azerbaijan is Turkey’s main ally, Turkish respondents say

Azerbaijan is considered Turkey's top ally, by 19.5 percent, according to a recent survey “Change of Direction in Turkish Foreign Policy and Perception of Relations with Neighbors,” conducted by the Ankara-based International Strategic Research Organization (USAK).

About 13 percent of those polled chose Bosnia and Herzegovina while the United States comes in third at 12.5 percent.

Only 2.75 percent of respondents said they consider EU countries allies of Turkey

The results of face-to-face interviews with 2,000 people in five provinces, namely Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Adana and Trabzon, were announced by USAK on the last day of 2009 and revealed that 57 percent of those surveyed believe that there has been no serious deviation in Turkey`s foreign policy.
