Abstract

The article discusses how the Russian Federation, in the context of ‘anti-Western’ approach and the ‘multipolar world order’ seeking, wants to position Turkey. Looking from the Russian Federation to Turkey, Turkey’s relations with primarily USA, the West, and especially NATO are one of the most influential variables in the relations between Turkey and the Russian Federation. ‘Eurasianist ideacracy’, which had significantly marked the foreign policy of the Russian Federation, has evaluated Turkey, due to its NATO membership, as a 'Rimland' or 'coastal zone' country which affiliated to rival Atlanticist bloc. In the article is sought the answer to the question of what are Russia’s possible strategies in the scope of the multipolar world order project and in an effort to become a global player, to make Turkey own ally and to mitigate threats can come through Turkey.

Keywords
