Abstract: While EU made FTA’s with some countries, the fact that Turkey as a customs union partner of the EU, which is a developing country itself, has to conclude an agreement with these countries, creates unprecedented circumstances. Some countries are not necessarily keen to sign an agreement with Turkey. Inspite of this in last decade, Turkey increased its export to FTA-countries with higher ratio than that of total export’s. The import from FTA-countries rose not faster than that of total import. It seems that Turkey benefits from these asymmetrical trade relations.
