Turkish Cultural Diplomacy in Iraq with Neo-Ottomanism Approach and Turkish Nationalism (2003-2019)
The study of Turkish cultural diplomacy in Iraq depends on understanding the new foreign policy view of the Middle East. By raising the issue of zero conflict and improving relations with the countries that survived the former Ottoman Empire, the Turkish government, within the framework of neo-Ottomanism and a unified Turkish identity in the form of nationalism, tried to present itself as a strategic trans-regional actor. Although recent developments in Turkey's domestic politics, as well as in the Arab Spring and its aftermath, have somewhat obscured the continuation of the Neo-Ottoman life, a zero-sum conflict in Turkey's foreign policy, it still adheres to the cultural diplomacy of this approach. In this context, Iraq is of strategic importance as Turkey's most important entry into the Middle East. Accordingly, the main question of the article is "What are the theoretical and practical aspects of Turkish cultural diplomacy in Iraq from 2003 to 2019, and to what extent is Turkey a key regional actor in addressing Iraq's macro-cultural, political and social structure?" Has it been successful? ” The findings show that Turkey has been able to deepen its sphere of influence in Iraq by focusing on its cultural structures and tools such as the media, Turkish films and series, Turkish language and literature, cultural-religious ties with Iraq, and strong ties with Turkmens as a single identity.
