Abstract

The aim of the article is to examine the causes and consequences of changes in Türkiye‘s foreign policy towards the most influential member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, namely Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The main research hypothesis assumes that the change in Türkiye‘s policy towards the GCC after 2021 is probably of a pragmatic nature and is intended to obtain financial resources. As such, it constitutes only an element of Türkiye‘s Asia Anew Initiative, namely the new approach in relations with various Asian partners. At the same time, it is not an element of Türkiye‘s political, long-term strategy towards the Middle East region. The work includes the author’s definition of a pragmatic approach to the state’s foreign policy.
