On 26 April 2012, Turkey's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, delivered a speech in which he described Turkey as both “owner” and “servant” of the Middle East. Predictably, his remarks provoked a firestorm of debate. Recent analyses of Turkish foreign policy, however, have cautioned against reading Davutoglu's speech and the foreign policies of the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) as Turkey turning to the Middle East.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
