During the work upon the thesis, the sources and methodology of the study were researched and systematized, and scientific works and analytical materials of domestic and foreign scientists, experts, analysts, political scientists and diplomats were analyzed. Based on a wide range of sources, a comprehensive study of the Middle East regional policy of the Republic of Turkey in the post-bipolar period was carried out, its main features were analyzed, development stages were determined, and the influence of the regional situation in the Middle East on its formation was studied. In the process of disclosing the thesis’s theme, the analysis of the basic concepts that underpinned the formation and realization of the Middle East vector of Ankara's foreign policy in the post-bipolar period was carried out. Particular attention was paid to the concepts of neo-Ottomanism and neo-pan-Turkism, whose ideas are increasingly penetrating the country's foreign policy doctrine, and also influence the formation and implementation of Turkey's regional foreign policy at the present stage of its development. The main stages, features of the evolution and direction of the country's foreign policy since the establishment of the Republic and up to the present day have been determined. The historical digression helps to determine the reasons for the next "return" of Turkish Republic to the East and the peculiarities of the formation of the Middle East vector of Ankara's foreign policy in the post-bipolar period, and also forecast its further development taking into account the regional and global political situation. Particular attention also was paid to the foreign policy concept of Ahmet Davutoglu and his role in the country's foreign policy life both at the regional and global levels. It was analyzed the establishment and development of Ankara's relations with neighboring countries at the beginning of the 21st century as part of a strategy that can lead to the growth of the role of the Republic of Turkey in the region and strengthening of its positions on the international arena. In the thesis, the place of the Middle East in the modern foreign policy doctrine of Turkey was examined through the prism of the internal political situation in the country and in the region as a whole. The directions, main areas and problematic issues of cooperation with regional organizations and some neighboring states, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel and Syria were studied. The main attention was paid to the place and role of Ankara in the activities of such regional organizations as ECO and OIC. The interdependence of the membership and active participation of the Republic of Turkey in regional associations and the country's achievement of its own goals in regional policy related to the strengthening of the status of a regional leader is determined. The study highlights the place and role of Ankara in ensuring peace and security in the Middle East in the context of changing geopolitical situation in the region. Special attention was focused on the possibility of building an alliance between the Republic of Turkey and Iran, which in the future would be able effectively respond to all the challenges and threats that might arise in the region, and would also help resolve a number of regional conflicts, or at least their gradual freezing and taking under control. The analysis of the current state and prospective spheres of bilateral Ukrainian-Turkish cooperation was carried out, a possible mechanism for the creation and further development of mutually beneficial partnership between countries at a strategic level was revealed.
