In times of growing geopolitical competition and in the search for alternative energy suppliers, Central Asia is increasingly gaining global interest and importance. In recent years, the region has become crucial for security and stability. Türkiye has been strengthening its ties with Central Asia based on deep-rooted connections. These ties were recently cemented with the inauguration of the Organization of Turkic States, further institutionalizing Türkiye’s relations with Central Asia. Meanwhile, the European Union updated its Central Asia Strategy in 2019 and underlined its recognition of the strategic importance of Central Asia.
At the conference titled “EU-Turkey Cooperation in Central Asia – Challenges and Opportunities for Closer Cooperation in the Region” held on May 13th 2022 in Ankara, Türkiye, researchers and diplomats from Türkiye, EU and Central Asian countries discussed what synergies can be utilized between the European Union and Türkiye and what the prospects are for closer cooperation.
This report contains the summary of the opening remarks, keynote speeches, and the presentations delivered during the conference, as well as an overview of the commonly underlined points regarding EU-Türkiye Cooperation in Central Asia.

A major transformation is taking place in the balances of the world. The global center of gravity has been gradually shifting from the Euro-Atlantic to the Asia-Pacific. This change also manifests itself in the position of Turkey; whereas during the cold-war era Turkey was defined as “the easternmost post of the West,” now, as a result of the changes in the international balance, Turkey is gradually becoming also the westernmost part of the East, moving to the center of Eurasia.
We observe that the Turkish Foreign Policy is making an effort to situate itself to this major transformation through a series of adjustments and adaptations. Turkey recognizes that not only herself moves to the center, but the Wider Black Sea region is becoming the core of the evolving Eurasia. This does not mean that Turkey is looking for an alternative that would indicate a break away from the West. Our understanding of Eurasian development is becoming the nexus to Asia and Europe, strongly attached to the West, yet also opening up to the East.
Within this framework of global change, Turkish-Ukrainian relations gain importance for Turkey’s outlook, since Ukraine is a major player in the Wider Black Sea region.
With this perspective, on 12 December 2017, AVİM, the Eurasian Studies Master Program of the Middle East Technical University (METU), and the Embassy of Ukraine in Turkey jointly organized a panel titled “25 Years of Turkey-Ukraine Diplomatic Relations: Regional Developments and Prospects for Enhanced Cooperation.”

As the name suggests, the Center for Eurasian Studies (AVİM) is a think-tank that focuses on the newly emerging concept of Eurasia, a region which stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is significant to underline that our understanding of ‘Eurasia’ is not synonymous with the one espoused by the President of the Russian Federation. As you may well know, from Russia’s point of view, its “Eurasian Union” encompasses the Post-Soviet Republics; Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Belarus as well as Ukraine. In this sense, our understanding of Eurasia diverges from that of Russia.

Avrasya İncelemeleri Merkezi (AVİM), adından da anlaşılacağı gibi, Avrasya kavramını irdeleyen bir düşünce kuruluşudur. Günümüzde gelişmekte olan bir olguyu, Atlantik’ten Pasifik’e Avrasya bütünlüğünü gündeme getirmekteyiz. Aynı söylem kullanıldığı cihetle, bir kavram karışıklığına neden olmamak bakımından, “Avrasya” Rusya Federasyonu Devlet Başkanı Putin’in öncülüğünü yaptığı “Avrasya Birliği” anlamına gelmemektedir. Bildiğiniz gibi, Rusya’nın dış politikasını oluşturmaya çalıştığı “Avrasya Birliği” eski Sovyetler Birliği coğrafyasındaki devletleri yeni bir oluşum altında toplamak kurgusunu çağrıştırmaktadır. Bu anlamıyla Avrasya Birliği Tacikistan’dan, Kırgızistan’a Kazakistan’dan Belarus’a, hatta Ukrayna’ya kadar uzanan bir kavramdır. AVİM’in gündeme taşıdığı ‘Avrasya’ kavramı bundan farklıdır. AVİM günümüz jeopolitiğinin değişmekte olduğunu, Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’nin Asya’nın yükselen bir gücü olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Günümüzde Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti ekonomik alanda, alış gücüne göre, gayri safi milli hasılası dünyada birinci, nominal olarak da ikinci ekonomi konumuna yükselmiştir.

On 16 December 2015, AVİM (Center for Eurasian Studies) in collaboration with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, organized a symposium titled “Projections for the Future of the Turkish-Armenian Relations”.
Most, if not all of the meetings on this critical subject reflect only a one-sided Turkish or Armenian interpretations of the Turkish-Armenian controversy with select audiences and participants. These meetings lack challenging exchange of ideas, since they are in essence monologues of like-minded people instead of dialogues involving people of differing opinions. As a consequence, such meetings fail to contribute to mutual understanding of a common historical past and to serve reconciliation of differences...

In this timeframe, Prof. Diescho delivered lectures at the Department of International Relations in Middle East Technical University on 12 May 2015, and at AVİM on 13 May 2015.

Prof. Diescho also expressed his views on the mass killings, which some scholars argue amounted to genocide, perpetrated by Germany against the Herero and Nama peoples in Namibia in the early 20th century. Within this framework, Prof. Diescho also reflected on the legal specifications of genocide.

Ten scholars from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Israel and the USA addressed an audience composed of the corps diplomatique, representatives of the civil society and the research community.

AVİM collected the speeches in the conference book titled Prospects for TurkishArmenian Relations (Türk-Ermeni İlişkileri için Olasılıklar) to contribute to the literature and the ongoing debates, and, ultimately, to the reconciliation between the Turks and the Armenians.

The Perinçek v. Switzerland Case, to which Turkey, Armenia and France also involved as third parties, was finalized on 15 October 2015 with the decision of Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights that ruled in favor of Perinçek. The Grand Chamber judged that speaking rejecting the characterization of the 1915 events as genocide does not constitute hate crime or racial discrimination. Consequently, the ECtHR Grand Chamber ruled that Perinçek’s freedom of expression cannot be restricted under these circumstances. As such, the judgement of the ECtHR Grand Chamber has significant implications for TurkishArmenian contorversy which have been shaped by genocide allegations. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of the stages of the case at hand plays an essential role for the understanding of the disagreement between Turkey and Armenia and the form it has taken today. On 3 February 2015, AVİM organized a meeting to asses the hearing which took place on 28 January 2015. The speakers at the meeting included Prof. Dr. Sadi Çaycı (Vice Dean of the Faculty of Law at Başkent University), Ambassador (R)Alev Kılıç (President of AVİM) and the researcher Şükrü Serve Aya.
