Evaluation justification (strengths and weaknesses of thesis):
The student clearly states his goals and manages to fulfil them. The thesis is clearly structured.
The student works very well with various sources to support his arguments.
In the first part he gives historical context to the origins of the Cold War and then shifts to the analysis of the Turkish element in the conflict.
I recommend accepting the thesis for defence.
Questions to be answered by student:
You mentioned in your thesis that today, 20 years after the Cold War ended, Turkey is aiming to be admitted to the EU. Is this generally accepted future of Turkey by all its citizens?
If it is possible to say for you – what is the attitude of Turkish people towards the USA and Russia or former USSR today?
