Cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Central Asian countries has become an area
of strategic importance in recent years. Due to its geographical location, Central Asia attracts attention
with its energy resources, trade routes and cultural richness. This region offers significant
opportunities both to increase the EU’s energy security and to strengthen economic integration. While
the infrastructure of the study is handled with the comments of experts in the region, the aim of the
study is to analyze the EU’s approach to Central Asian countries. According to the results of the
study, while the EU continues its cooperation activities with Central Asian countries in every field
with various projects and programs, it carries out a policy of balancing the activities of other actors
such as China and Russia in the region.
