This study analyzes Tajikistan's foreign policy towards Türkiye from 1992 to 2022 through a dataset analysis and role theory framework. Unlike general studies, it is based on local Tajik sources and provides insights into the diversity and depth of the relationship. The study employs qualitative analysis, using role theory to interpret foreign policy discourse, supported by a quantitative dataset analysis of key diplomatic agreements and events. The findings reveal that Tajikistan’s foreign policy towards Türkiye has been largely shaped by economic and security concerns, with a notable emphasis on bilateral trade agreements and regional security cooperation. Furthermore, the study identifies a consistent alignment between discourse and practice in their diplomatic relations. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of Central Asian foreign policy, demonstrating how small states like Tajikistan navigate complex international relationships. It highlights the importance of economic and security considerations in shaping diplomatic ties with larger powers like Türkiye.
