The Lisbon Summit outcomes are good news for Turkey. The Alliance is finally turning to strategic challenges more relevant to Turkey’s neighborhood.

Above all, the Lisbon experience suggests that some aspects of Turkish foreign policy remain cautious and traditional, and the NATO connection still matters when it comes to working with Ankara. Putting all of this into practice will not be easy. But getting it right could help reverse the sharp slide in Turkish public attitudes toward NATO — if political leaders are willing to take up the challenge.
