This article considers Turkey’s foreign policy in Central Asia from 1991-2000. The formation of new independent states after the collapse of the USSR and the recognition of their independence by Turkey was the starting point for establishing diplomatic relations with the countries of Central Asia. In particular, this work analyzes the peculiarities of geopolitical and trade-economic cooperation of Turkey with Russia, the USA, China, as well as Iran, India and Turkey with countries of Central Asia. Also considered is how Turkey used historical and cultural contacts to strengthen its influence in Central Asia.
The Justice and Development Party’s rise to power in 2002, based largely on a foundation of Western values, radically changed Turkey’s foreign policy. Based on the book Strategic Depth by Turkish Foreign Minister A. Davutoglu, the internal and external political factors of the country altered the previous policy of “soft power” and, as a result, strengthened its influence in Central Asia.
