Abstract:

The present paper provides an analysis of the current state of Russian-Turkish Relations within the framework of the ‘Age of Uncertainty’ concept coined by Harvard economist Ken Galbraith. It examines how Turkey is evolving its self-image as it seeks to achieve strategic autonomy through various foreign policy initiatives. The paper also delves into Turkey's perceptions of Russia, highlighting both positive and negative views that shape their bilateral relations. By exploring the intricate dynamics of Russian-Turkish relations while taking into account historical context and geopolitical factors, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex nature of interactions of the two states. In conclusion, this paper argues for the necessity of cultivating a positive image and promoting cooperation between Russia and Turkey to effectively navigate the uncertainty of the contemporary world, and ensure a more stable and peaceful coexistence in a constantly changing international landscape.
