The article is devoted to the analysis of the foreign policy strategy of the Republic of Turkey, which, with the coming to power of the Justice and Development Party (JDP), has changed. In political circles, the country’s foreign policy strategy is increasingly associated with the notion of “neo-Ottomanism”, which means Turkey’s increased attention to the Middle East region. But the term is controversial due to the lack of specific conceptual foundations. However, it is clear that Turkey’s foreign policy has undergone significant changes in recent decades. One of the main goals of the country is to achieve leadership in the region, and in the near future, according to party programs, global leadership. Throughout the XX century the country has distanced itself from the region, many problems with neighboring countries have accumulated, and that’s why the attempts to improve relations in the framework of the foreign policy doctrine “Zero problems with neighbors” have not achieved significant success. Moreover, the doctrine has undergone a dialectical transformation. To achieve leadership in the region, the country actively uses the tools of “soft power”. Almost immediately after coming to power, the JDP tried to take on mediation in regional conflicts in order to increase international prestige. In the context of globalization, the situation in the world political arena also affects the adoption of the country\'s foreign policy concepts. The events of the “Arab Spring” increased the role of Turkey in the region. The fact is that relative political stability, a successful demographic situation, economic growth promote the active involvement of Turkey in regional processes. Turkey actively promotes the “Turkish model” of a successful combination of Islam and democracy as the most optimal for the Islamic world. Despite the fact that Turkey has strengthened its activities in the Middle East region, relations with the European Union and NATO are very important in the country\'s foreign policy |
