Özet:

China’s President Xi Jinping’s One-Generation One-Road Strategy is expected to provide economic benefits to all member countries. As part of the project, the project is expected to be profitable for Turkey. Turkey, as well as its membership position, is a geographically important country; a significant part of the BRI project will be implemented using the territory of Turkey as the aim of connecting China with Europe by land. The study aims to conduct a general study by identifying the expectations and threats of the BRI project in terms of the Turkish economy. All the study is based on the secondary information sources collected from different articles and online publications of different organizations. The study shows that if the Turkish government takes sufficient measures and appropriate initiatives against the potential negative effects of the BRI projects, it can also be an effective tool for the development of the Turkish economy; the proper use of opportunities, the reduction of the unemployment rate, the attraction of Direct Foreign Investments (DYY), more industrialization, the development of potential sectors (tourism, agriculture, energy) etc. This will bring the economy to a better level. There are many factors that are uncontrollable. However, the timely decision-making and target-oriented initiative of Turkey can help reduce risks, overcome obstacles and provide the maximum benefit.
