Özet:This thesis presents Turkish foreign policy towards post‐9/11 Afghanistan. Turkey has important contributions for a Western-led military operation and other humanitarian assistance in a Muslim-majority country (Afghanistan) and region (Central Asia) having Muslim-majority population since the intervention by the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). In this regard, Turkey seeks for stabilising Afghanistan through training of the Afghan National Military Forces, enhancing civil-led PRTs, providing humanitarian assistance, leading to diplomatic initiatives as regional peace-broker between the conflicting parties. This thesis tries to uncover that Turkey’s Afghanistan policy is in a coherence with newly developed security culture which relies on soft power tools and mediation and with the subsequent transformations in U.S./NATO policy in the country. Turkey’s efforts for a peaceful region has invaluable contribution towards global peace and stability. However, Turkey seems to have few instruments to affect the situation on the ground.
