Why is Uzbekistan important for the Turkish world?

The Republic of Uzbekistan borders Kazakhstan to the north, Kyrgyzstan to the northeast, Tajikistan to the southeast, Afghanistan to the south, and Turkmenistan to the southwest.
A country suffering from the Aral Sea problem. As a result of the wrong agricultural policies during the Soviet period, it caused a major environmental disaster for Uzbekistan today. High salinity and soil contamination with heavy elements are common in Karakalpakstan, the region of Uzbekistan adjacent to the Aral Sea. The majority of the country's water resources are used for farming, which accounts for approximately 84% of water use and contributes to high soil salinity. Intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers in cotton cultivation, which is common in the region, worsens soil pollution.
After Uzbekistan gained its independence, it established relations with developed countries, especially in economic terms. It also has the opportunity to sell its rich underground resources to other countries. Thanks to its long-established state tradition, Uzbekistan became the powerful state of Central Asia shortly after gaining its independence, and today it is competing with Kazakhstan for Central Asian leadership.
After the Andijan Incidents, the foreign policy approach in the country changed. The Uzbekistan administration, which established close relations with the European Union and the United States after independence, reduced its relations with the West after the protests and turned to Russia.
What is its economic structure? What are the problems facing management? What is the social structure like? How is the connection between past and future achieved?
The answers to all questions on the subject will be answered by Istanbul Kültür University International Relations Department Head Prof. in our program moderated by GZT Special Content Editor Sinan Bakioğlu. Dr. It is shaped by the contributions of Çağla Gül Yesevi.
