The partnership of the two states at the present stage, whose history is full of war and geopolitical confrontation, adhering to contradictory policies, takes a step towards considering international relations as a unique phenomenon. The scientific work examines the stages of development, the current state and prospects of relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Turkey.

At the present stage, serious changes are taking place in international relations, the emergence of new players in the post-bipolar world, their relations with traditional centers of power are now in the focus of attention of researchers.
