Özet:

In the post-Cold War process, new formations arose against the United States' single-pole order. One of the alternative formations in this period is the Eurasian Economic Union (AEB).The AEB is a political and economic union, which was founded by a treaty signed by the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia on May 29, 2014 and extended by the participation of Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. For Turkey, sustainable development, becoming an active player in the globalized world and developing relations with the member countries of the AEB in the way of creating new market partners is extremely important. This study focused on external trade relations, which is an important dimension of relations to be developed with the AEB member countries. In the study, the "Foreign Trade Statistics" of the International Trade Center (UTM), which is the joint institution of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (United Nations), and the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Bank (DB)'s "Profile of Country" reports used external trade (export-export) data, the data between 2013 and 2017 were studied and analyzed by comparing the external trade of Turkey and the AEB member countries. It has been tried to reveal the mutual trade structures and opportunities that the countries host. When the data is analyzed, it is seen that the member countries of the AEB and Turkey have mutual foreign trade opportunities in many sectors. The countries members of the AEB and the sector-based import and export figures of Turkey, the countries with the most import and exports, are considered to be limited to their mutual potential. In the medium and long-term, the conclusion has been that the trade relations that Turkey will develop with the member countries of the AEB will provide a multi-dimensional contribution to the Turkey economy.
