description | This article reviews the ways in which various actors in Turkey have used the terms 'Eurasia' and 'Eurasianism' since the end of the Cold War. It presents two arguments. First, compared to Russian Eurasianism, it is difficult to talk about the existence of a 'Turkish Eurasianism'. Yet, the article employs the term Turkish Eurasianism as a shorthand to describe the ways in which Eurasia and Eurasianism are employed in Turkey. Second, Turkish Eurasianism is nothing but the use or instrumentalization of Eurasia to create a geopolitical identity for Turkey that legitimizes its political, economic, and strategic interests primarily in the post-Soviet space, but, from time to time, also in the Balkans and Africa. Various Turkish state and non-state actors have used Eurasia to mean different things and justify different goals: reaching out to Turkic Republics, being pro-Russian, creating a sphere of influence in former Ottoman lands, or, recently, cloaking anti-Western currents. Keywords: Eurasia, Eurasianism, Turkish Foreign Policy, Turkey, Russia Bu makale Soguk Savas sonrasinda 'Avrasya' ve 'Avrasyacilik' kavramlarinin Turkiye'de degisik aktorler tarafindan kullanilmasini incelemektedir. Makalenin iki ana savi vardir. Ilki, Rus Avrasyaciligiyla karsilastirildiginda bir 'Turk Avrasyaciligi''ndan bahsetmek pek mumkun gorunmemektedir. Buna ragmen, bu makalede, Turkiye'de Avrasya ve Avrasyaciligin kullanimi kisaca Turk Avrasyaciligi terimi ile karsilanmistir. Ikincisi ise, Avrasya ve Avrasyacilik kavraminin, farkli donemlerde, Turkiye icin bir kimlik olusturmakta kullanildigi gibi, Turkiye'nin basta Sovyet sonrasi alan olmak uzere, zaman zaman da Balkanlar ve Afrika'daki siyasi, ekonomik ve stratejik cikarlarini mesrulastirmak ve gerceklestirmek icin bu terimden faydalandigidir. Çesitli devlet ve devlet disi aktorler, yeri geldiginde bu terimleri, kimi zaman Turkiye'nin Turk Cumhuriyetleri ile olan iliskilerini mesrulastirmak, kimi zaman Rusya yanlisi politikalarinin altini cizmek ya da Osmanli Imparatorlugu'nun bir zamanlar sahip oldugu topraklarda bir nufuz alani tesis etmek veya daha yakin donemde, Bati-karsitligini kamufe etmek icin kullanmislardir.
