Pavel Shlykov

Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies, 2024, vol. 26, issue 5, 698-715

Abstract: The article analyses Russian official, scholarly and media discourses on transformations in Turkey’s foreign policy in the 2000s–2020s. Comparing perceptions of Russian political establishment and international relations experts of Turkey’s assertive foreign policy and changing relations with the West, Russia and Asia, it examines the main features of Turkey’s balancing between the East and the West throughout this period, and how various segments of Russian society perceive(d) this balancing. The investigation covers the extent to which Turkey’s foreign policy vis-a-vis the US, the EU and Asia run counter to or correlate with Russia’s interests and the implications for Russia of Turkey’s assertive foreign policy.
