Özet:

This thesis analyzes the European identity and its others with a special focus on two Eastern “Others”: the Russian and the Turk. In this context firstly the notion of identity, the role of difference in the formation of identity and the role of identity in international relations will be explored. Thereby the significance of identity in shaping the international relations will be shown. Then the development of Europe and European identity and its various others will be examined with a historical perspective. In the light of this exploration, the emergence of the East-West divide, the historical evolution of relations with the Russian and the Turk in relation with the changing connotations of the European identity will be studied. Finally the Russian and Turkish cases will be examined in a comparative way. In this way the converging and diverging points between the two cases in terms of their relationship with Europe and their place vis à vis Europe will be analyzed.
