Description:
Turkey's strategic focus is shifting towards gaining influence in the former Soviet republics of the South Caucasus and Central Asia, facilitated through the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). President Recep Tayyip Erdogan highlights linguistic bonds at the 2023 OTS summit, symbolically advocating for a common Turkic alphabet. While Turkey sees OTS as a tool to reduce Russia's influence in the region, divisions emerge among members, notably on issues like the recognition of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and conflicting stances on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Disagreements extend to trade corridors, with differences in support for projects like the Middle Corridor and Russia's Southern Transport Corridor. Despite desires to escape Russia's influence, land-locked countries in the region face challenges in reducing dependency on Russian transit routes and organizations. Turkey's engagement in the OTS framework reflects a complex interplay of cultural affinities, geopolitical ambitions, and historical legacies.
