Back Cover
The ways in which states and nations define their own identities have a significant influence both on the threats they perceive and on the decisions they take in domestic and foreign policy. Every identity is the product of a process of construction, shaped by many factors such as geopolitical position, belief systems and experiences accumulated throughout history. Above all because of the geopolitical situation of the lands they occupy, Türkiye and Iran carry in their social memory many wars, migrations, social upheavals and transformations. In addition, the knowledge and experience that the peoples of these lands have accumulated since ancient times shape the domestic and foreign policies of both countries.
