DOMINANT ANGLE
Ankara positions itself as responsible regional power, cautiously welcoming a truce it doubts will hold
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Ankara welcomes the ceasefire with caution of an actor knowing Middle Eastern promises have short shelf lives. The Daily Sabah reports Erdoğan "welcomes favorably" the truce while hoping for its "full implementation on the ground" — diplomatic language betraying Turkish skepticism. Turkey positions itself as responsible regional power: Erdoğan calls for concrete implementation, not just signature. This positioning serves Turkish Middle Eastern ambitions — Ankara wants to be seen as stabilizing actor, contrasting what it perceives as American unpredictability and Israeli aggression. Turkish coverage is the panel's most measured, avoiding both triumphalism and alarmism, but passes over Turkey's ambiguous role in conflict: NATO member who did not support American operations, Iran neighbor with whom it shares gas interests.
