ABSTRACT
Until recently, relations between Turkey and Georgia attracted relatively little scholarly attention. Most studies mainly concentrated on the geopolitical, bilateral and regional dimensions of those relations, paying little or no attention to the soft power politics that Turkey has been exercising since the beginning of the 2000s. According to some experts, Turkey has elaborated and is carrying out a clear-cut and comprehensive regional policy in the South Caucasus, which has enabled it to become a key regional actor. In the research on the subject, there is also emphasis on the economic aspects of Turkish interests in Georgia, which suggests that Turkey's policy should be determined by Georgia's open and comprehensive economic policy. In addition to the political and geopolitical gains that Turkey has pursued in Georgia there have been considerable efforts from Ankara to promote Turkish business and economic projects.
