Nazarbayev's Eurasian visit

Kazakhstan and Turkey have close economic, political and cultural ties. As a Turkic state, Kazakhstan is of special importance for Turkey. At the same time, Kazakhstan is one of the key participants in the Eurasian integration process. It was Nursultan Nazarbayev's idea to ​​create a Eurasian Union, and Kazakhstan is one of the founders of the EAEC and SCO and a strategic ally of Russia.

It is obvious that one of the objectives of the visit is to prepare for the meeting between the Presidents of Russia and Turkey which is scheduled for August 9th, as well as discussions on Turkey's participation in Eurasian integration processes. The failure of the pro-Western coup and purges in the army and government agencies have yielded a sharp deterioration in relations between Turkey, the EU and the US. Under these conditions, the Eurasian vector is the only path open for Turkey.
