Ottomania? Ft. Norman Stone, professor at the Intl Relations Department, Bilkent University

From its clampdown on democracy to the downing of Russia's warplane, Turkey has made a departure from its traditionally stable policies in recent years.

Oksana is joined by Norman Stone, professor at the Department of International Relations at Bilkent University in Ankara, to examine these issues.
