Özet:

 The aim of this study is to analyse the historical background of Türkiye-Qatar relations, the areas of cooperation developed within the framework of their strategic partnership, and the effects of these relations on regional power balances. Diplomatic relations, established in 1972, gained momentum in the 2000s and were institutionalised through the High Strategic Committee agreement signed in 2014. The strong synergy between Qatars economic power and Türkiyes geopolitical position has served as the main basis for deepening cooperation in defence, energy, and economic fields. Türkiyes strong support for Qatar, particularly during the 2017 Gulf Crisis, enhanced mutual trust and elevated relations to a strategic level. The study evaluates the impacts of this partnership at both regional and global levels, emphasizing that defence and energy cooperation have become critical elements in regional power dynamics. In the post-Arab Spring period, the Türkiye-Qatar partnership has emerged as an effective actor in shaping policies to address crises in the Middle East. This cooperation has made significant contributions to regional stability and development. It is concluded that Türkiye-Qatar relations have the capacity to develop new alliance models, adopt solution-oriented approaches to regional crises, and support peace and stability in the Middle East. Moreover, this strategic partnership is expected to serve as an effective model not only in bilateral relations but also in shaping regional and global power balances, contributing to the development of new cooperation and diplomatic frameworks.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye-Katar ilişkilerinin tarihsel arka planını, stratejik ortaklık çerçevesinde gelişen iş birliği alanlarını ve bu ilişkilerin bölgesel güç dengeleri üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmektir. Tarihsel olarak 1972 yılında kurulan diplomatik ilişkiler, 2000li yıllardan itibaren ivme kazanmış ve 2014 yılında imzalanan Yüksek Stratejik Komite anlaşması ile kurumsal bir yapıya dönüşmüştür. Katarın ekonomik gücü ile Türkiyenin jeopolitik konumunun oluşturduğu güçlü sinerji, savunma, enerji ve ekonomik alanlarda derinleşen iş birliğinin temel dayanağı olmuştur. Özellikle 2017 Körfez Krizi sırasında Türkiyenin Katara verdiği güçlü destek, iki ülke arasındaki karşılıklı güveni artırarak ilişkileri stratejik bir boyuta taşımıştır. Çalışma, bu ilişkinin bölgesel ve küresel düzeydeki etkilerini değerlendirerek savunma ve enerji iş birliklerinin bölgesel güç dengelerinde önemli bir unsur haline geldiğini vurgulamaktadır. Arap Baharı sonrası dönemde Türkiye-Katar ortaklığı, Ortadoğudaki krizlere yönelik politikaların şekillenmesinde etkili bir aktör olarak öne çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda, iki ülke arasındaki iş birliğinin bölgesel istikrara ve kalkınmaya sunduğu katkılar dikkat çekmektedir. Türkiye ve Katar ilişkilerinin Ortadoğuda yeni ittifak modelleri geliştirme kapasitesine, bölgesel krizlerde çözüm odaklı yaklaşımlar sergileme ve Ortadoğuda barış ve istikrarı destekleyerek bölgesel istikrarın sağlanmasına yönelik kayda değer bir potansiyele sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu stratejik ortaklığın, yalnızca iki ülke arasındaki ilişkiler çerçevesinde değil, aynı zamanda uluslararası sistemde bölgesel ve küresel güç dengelerini şekillendiren, yeni iş birliği ve diplomatik model arayışlarına katkı sağlayan etkili bir örnek teşkil edeceği değerlendirilmektedir.
