TÜRKİYE VE TÜRK CUMHURİYETLERİ ÜLKELERİ ARASINDAKİ ULUSLARARASI TİCARET İLİŞKİLERİ
INTERNATIONAL TRADE RELATIONS BETWEEN TÜRKİYE AND THE TURKIC REPUBLICS

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to analyze the international trade relations between Türkiye and the Turkic Republics of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan since 1991. Türkiye has developed multidimensional economic, political and cultural relations with these countries since their independence. Based on foreign trade data for the period 2014-2024, the study evaluates Türkiye 's export and import performance towards these countries by product groups and analyzes the course of trade volume over the years. The findings of the study reveal that Turkey exports high value-added industrial products (machinery, electrical appliances, textiles and construction materials) to these countries, while importing energy resources, cotton, metal ores and agricultural products. In particular, trade with Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan is energy-based, while Turkmenistan exports natural resources, Uzbekistan imports cotton and metals, and Kyrgyzstan has limited but growing trade potential. The results show that economic relations between Türkiye and the Turkic Republics have a complementary structure based on mutual needs. In this context, new strategic cooperation in areas such as transportation, energy, digital infrastructure and agriculture will further advance mutual economic development.
