ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
While writing this thesis, I realized that one can not really do a thesis on their own. Dr.
Muhittin Tolga Ozsaglam, my supervisor, has been there for me, and provides me both with his comments and useful readings. Great thanks and deep gratitude are due to my supervisor.
He helped me much in enriching the thesis with valuable information and stayed on my side until the thesis came to its final shape – he is really for me more than teacher, like friend. The deepest thanks and gratitude goes to Vice-Rector Prof. Dr. Fahreddin Sadikoglu who supported me in more than one stage and helped to resolve many problems when they got complicated. I also would like to thank Assist. Prof. Dr. Ali Dayioglu and Dr. Dilek Latif for their support and advice. Thanks are also due to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zeliha Khashman, Chairman of the Department of International Relations.
I would like to thank my family for giving me a morality while I was experiencing troubles in personal life.
I owe deep thanks to the all personal of Near East University, Grand Library for all the generous help, support and material offered me during my research.
I would especially like to mention my close friends who helped me in different times.
They are my dear friends Elchin Allahverdiyev, Orkhan Abdullayev, Eldar Aliyev. I may have forgotten some people who helped, to whom I owe an apology.
