Abstract
In 1991, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the period of independence began for the Central Asian republics. However, this period was full of political, economic and social difficulties, especially for the Central Asian countries. After independence, these countries, which were primarily struggling with national problems, began to adapt to the international system and develop mutual relations. Azerbaijan became one of the leading players in the Caucasus and shaped its foreign policy on the basis of cooperation and friendship with the Central Asian republics. The aim of this study is to examine the history, current state and future potential of relations between Azerbaijan and Central Asia, to analyze the economic, political, cultural and strategic dimensions of these relations and thus to identify ways to improve regional cooperation.
