Abstract. The Turkic direction, in particular the Central Asian region, is not new for the foreign policy of the Turkish Republic, which has been systematically expanding its influence there since the collapse of the Soviet Union and forming a special subsystem of international relations called the “Turkic world”. Over the past few years, the forms of Turkey's interaction with the Turkic-speaking space have dramatically changed. Currently, in Turkey’s regional Central Asian policy can be traced 4 trends, which in the midterm can significantly reform both: the region and individual countries in particular. Among these trends are: the informatization and Latinization of the “Turkic world”, the intensification of contacts with neutral Turkmenistan and the formation of the foundations of Turkic-centric security.
