Abstract: Due to its geographical location, Central Asia is a "gateway" strategically important to the Eurasian continent. Tendency of maintaining an intraregional collaboration is an important asset in neutralizing the negative effects of events in Central Asia, especially on the danger of including the states in the region in the sphere of influence of great powers, which have regional or global ambitions. Overcoming the isolation geography and the attempt to turn the region into a transit corridor for interstate and intercivilizational communication should become the main priority of all states in Central Asia. The aim of the paper is to present, in a concise manner, some of the main elements that have created instability in the Central Asian area, focusing on two very strong countries: Turkey and Iran. In fact, the present work presents the policies of Iran and Turkey towards countries of Central Asia, fact which inevitably has led to conflicts between them, sometimes hidden other times for all to see, the more so as they are part of alliances that are directly opposite.
