    This research paper aims to investigate the effects of the sanctions imposed on Turkey due to its military operation in Cyprus in 1974. It gives a historical overview of the events that led to this military operation and also states the reasons for the U.S. arms embargo on Turkey. Turkey-the U.S. relations were affected by this embargo and it depicted Turkish over-reliance on the American market. Moreover, it explains the shifts in national politics following the embargoes and expounds upon the development of the Turkish defense industry. Overall, the paper explains how cordial relations were restored between the two countries by gradually lifting the embargo and signing the Defense and Cooperation Agreement in 1980.
