Abstract

Turkiye increased its presence in Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkans, and especially Africa by transforming its foreign policy. Undoubtedly, this situation requires a new perception in foreign policy. Therefore, it required the causes of the policy of disinterestedness to these regions in the 20th century. Turkiye, endeavored to structure its African policy with the soft power instruments emanated from its historical background by stressing cultural and religious values. Being aware of the fact that soft power is not sufficient enough, hard power instruments have also been implemented after Arab Spring in 2011. Certainly, Türkiye’s foreign policy in Africa disturbs imperialist powers especially France which wants to maintain its influence. This study deals with Türkiye’s historical presence in Africa, its soft and hard power instruments and its relations with France which has interests in the region.
