Turkish National Security Council (MGK) approved “a national security policy document”, publicly known as “a red book”.

The draft was first approved in October 2005, when Turkey started talks with the European Union on its full-fledged membership.

For the first time, cyber threat was involved in the strategy as a “main external threat.”

The details of a new security strategy are not disclosed. Meanwhile, according to Turkish media outlets, the most significant changes since the “cold war” were to be involved in the document. Particularly, “zero problems with neighbors” policy, initiated by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, excludes Russia, Greece, Iran and Iraq from the red book-as “principal external threats.” Ankara has been on close terms with these states within the recent years, RIA Novosti reports.
