Abstract
Turkish-Russian relations are not only a regional issue, but also an important topic within the general dynamics of international relations. Throughout history, relations between the two countries have not been limited to their immediate neighborhood, but have developed into influential relationships in the international system. Especially in the post-Cold War period, the decline of global polarization and the emergence of new power relations have led to significant changes in relations between Türkiye and Russia. The focus of this study is to emphasize that Turkish-Russian relations are not only bilateral, but also interact with political, economic and strategic factors at the global level, and to show how these relations are shaped within the dynamics of today’s international system.
