Abstract
This article tackles the question of Europeanization in Turkey's civil-military relations and the extent to which the EU has served as an anchor in the civilian control over the Turkish Armed Forces. We argue that the EU membership process has necessitated democratization in civil-military relations
 
EU support was not sufficient for fully integrated democratic control of the armed forces (DECAF) as there are still problems in the democratization of civil-military relations. Since the 2000s there has been a DECAF reform process taking place but due to historical deficiencies in Turkish polity like the civilian incapacity to change the priority given to the military's role in the making of the security culture the European norms of DECAF such as a constitutional division between the civilian and military authorities political neutrality of the military and parliamentary control of the defense budget is formal. In the first part we aim to give background information to DECAF reforms in Turkey. The second part discusses Justice and Development Party (JDP)-Turkish General Staff (TGS) relations between 2002 and 2007. The third part assesses civil-military relations in the period since 2007. The last section pays special attention to the significance of the question of a Turkish way to Europeanization especially in the field of civil- military relations.
