The 2023 vision is a list of goals released by the administration of Prime Minister (now President) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to coincide with the centenary of the Republic of Turkey in 2023.
Turkey's foreign-policy objectives and vision as articulated by former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu:
To achieve them, Turkey must make progress in all directions and in every field, take an interest in every issue related to global stability, and contribute accordingly.
In 2014, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan coined the term "mastermind" (Turkish: ust akil) to denote the alleged command and control institution, somewhat ambiguously placed with the government of the United States, in a comprehensive conspiracy to weaken or even dismember Turkey, by orchestrating every political actor and action perceived hostile by Turkey. Erdoğan as well as the Daily Sabah have on multiple occasions alleged that very different non-state actors — like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Fethullah Gülen — were attacking Turkey at the same time in a well-coordinated campaign. A notable instance of promoting the "Mastermind" conspiracy theory was in February 2017 Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek claiming that earthquakes in the western province of Çanakkale could have been organized by dark external powers aiming to destroy Turkey’s economy with an "artificial earthquake" near Istanbul.
