ABSTRACT
The article describes the relationship between ideology and religion in Turkey and their mixed aspects. The influence of Islam in Turkish society is very large. After all, a very large part of the Turkish population consists of Muslims. When the Justice and Development Party came to power, it took the path of hybrid governance, in which Islam and democracy were closely intertwined. In foreign policy, it claims regional superiority. In doing so, it offers its own solutions to increase its influence on the countries of the region, which are historically, culturally, linguistically, religiously and territorially close to it. These include Pan-Islamism, Pan-Turkism, New Ottomanism, and Turkish Eurasianism. With the help of these ideologies, it intends to achieve its geopolitical goals and revive its cultural values. The question of which ideology is more important still remains open. Because among the Turkish elite, there are still debates about which one is more universal. All ideologies complement each other. But none of them has been announced as an official ideology. It is precisely these ideologies that have been divided.
KEYWORDS:“Arab Spring”, pan-Turkism, pan-Islamism, Turkish Eurasianism, new Ottomanism, integration corridors, Kemalism, geopolitical power, geographical location, “Grey Wolves”, Strategic depth.
