This paper aims to show that Syrian Civil War represents a sort of epiphany for Turkey, demonstrating its stalemate position regards to this unresolved, and by now frozen, conflict. The recalibration of principles and guidelines in Turkish foreign policy after March 2011 is a direct consequence of the changed environmental context of the MENA region and of the lack of an adequate response to the so-called Arab Spring from the international arena. In fact the drama of these unresolved critical situations has accelerated the adoption of a phase 2.0 of Davutoğlu’s geopolitical vision. This vision could allow Turkey to overcome the challenges ahead, reinvigorating its regional role and revitalizing ‘zero problem’ policy too.

Abstract
This paper aims to show that Syrian Civil War represents a sort of epiphany for Turkey, demonstrating its stalemate position regards to this unresolved, and by now frozen, conflict. The recalibration of principles and guidelines in Turkish foreign policy after March 2011 is a direct consequence of the changed environmental context of the MENA region and of the lack of an adequate response to the so-called Arab Spring from the international arena. In fact the drama of these unresolved critical situations has accelerated the adoption of a phase 2.0 of Davutoğlu’s geopolitical vision. This vision could allow Turkey to overcome the challenges ahead, reinvigorating its regional role and revitalizing ‘zero problem’ policy too.
