As a result of the collapse of the Soviet state in 1991, the Republic of Kazakhstan acquired its independence. And the first state that recognized the independence of Kazakhstan, just two hours after the declaration of independence, was the Republic of Turkey. This brotherly and friendly gesture of Turkey has become a very important moral support for the young state. Along with the common historical and cultural roots between the two peoples, the comprehensive support provided by Turkey in the first years of independence served as the basis for the rapid and dynamic development of bilateral relations. The dynamics of the development of Turkish-Kazakh relations and the building of these relations at the level of strategic partnership shows the similarity and proximity of the interests of Ankara and Astana in many regional and international issues. Just like Kazakhstan, which understands the strategic importance of Turkey in the region and world politics, Turkey takes the leading role of Kazakhstan in Central Asia and considers Kazakhstan its most important partner in the region. It is especially worth noting that the visit of Kazakhstani leader Nursultan Nazarbayev after the coup attempt in Turkey on 15 July 2016, made a great contribution to strengthening bilateral relations and has a special significance for Turkey and TurkishPresident Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
