Abstract:

Sultan Alâeddin Keykubad has followed a stable policy in all areas throughout his royal rule of about eight years. Alâeddin Keykubad, who also follows a rational, consensual and forward-looking policy in foreign policy, has so managed to make the Turkish Selçuklu State a political, commercial and cultural power. Alâeddin Keykubad wanted to take the maximum share of the income of the international trade routes passing through Anadolu in order to continue his country’s independent presence, and his foreign policy was based on this basis. In fact, it has signed an agreement that gives some commercial privileges to the Venetian Duchy against its European countries, and shortly after that agreement, it has organized its first flight on the main port city of Alaya. Aladdin Keykubad has avoided unnecessary risks in his relations with neighboring states and resolved disputes by peace, unless it is at a level to stumble his authority. Zira, thanks to this policy he followed against the Mongols, the Eyyubis and Celâleddin Harezmshah, both protected his country from a possible destruction and gained time against any invasion movement and took measures. However, after the death of the last independent Turkey Selçuklu State ruler Alâeddin Keykubad, as it was not continued by the successful political successors he followed, Turkey Selçuklu State entered the sovereignty of the Mongols.
