This political process reacts on the international course and domestic policy of Turkish state. The article is focused on the influence of European integration of Turkish Republic on the formation of Turkish foreign policy in the period of Recep Erdogan governments (2003-2014). The impact of European integration on changing domestic policy was analyzed in the context of formation of state international policy. Main ideas and foreign strategy concepts about European policy by Ahmet Davutoglu were considered too.

Since this time Turkish Republic started the process of changing traditional “west-oriented” policy.
