This study sought to describe Turkish defense offsets in foreign procurement. Located at the epicenter of regions fraught with crisis, Turkiye is a secular, democratic, liberal country sharing western moral values. With the tradition of its 1,000 years of statehood, with its constitutional order and its strong armed forces, Turkiye is a center of power that can affect the delicate balance of power in the region. Offsets started to become an important way of obtaining industrial and technological benefits when importing military equipment in the early and mid-1980s.Offset deals remain an important aspect of Turkish arms import policy, and offset applications in Turkish foreign procurement shows that offsets are likely to increase in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the study of Turkish defense offsets is important. The history of offsets is introduced for the background of this research. As a major user of U.S. defense systems, Turkiye each year buys American weapons worth more than $ 1 billion.
