      abstract = {A strong security partnership with Turkey has been an  important element of U.S. policy for the last five decades.  However, in the last few years, U.S.-Turkish relations have  seriously deteriorated, and today they are badly in need of  repair. The arrival of a new administration in Washington  presents an important opportunity to put Washington's  relations with Ankara on a firmer footing. Turkey plays a  critical role in four areas of increasing strategic  importance to the United States: the Balkans, Central Asia  and the Caucasus, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf. In  each of these areas, Ankara's cooperation is vital to  achieving U.S. policy objectives.},
