Annotation

The article analyzes the features of inter-Turkic dialogue as a phenomenon in modern international relations. The author considers the concept of inter-Turkic dialogue as a geopolitical project based on the community of Turkic peoples, the largest of which is the state-forming ethnic group of the Turkish Republic. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of inter-Turkic dialogue as a phenomenon of modern international relations, based on the civilizational approach and critical geopolitics. Inter-Turkic dialogue is considered in the context of constructing the image of “brotherly peoples”, which unites language, culture, history, values, worldview, religion and forms a supranational identity that creates the basis for interstate integration. Türkiye, as the leading political and economic force in inter-Turkic dialogue, claims leadership in this project. The concept of the “Turkic world” acts as an important component of Ankara’s foreign policy strategy, forming its own geopolitical vision of itself as an independent center of power in the emerging new world order. The role of personality plays an important role in this process: R.T. Erdogan is largely associated with the intensification and development of inter-Turkic dialogue and its emergence as a factor in modern international relations. At the same time, other participants have their own views and ideas on the development of inter-Turkic dialogue.
