description The article examines Turkey’s influence in the Central Asian region through educational policy in the context of the concept of “soft power”. In addition, Turkey’s interest in the development of the Central Asian region is demonstrated which is due to the fact of the Turkic peoples residing there. Turkey attaches great importance to forging relations with post-Soviet countries, in particularly in the field of education. The author addresses the usage of educational policy influence tools such as creation of lyceums and attracting applicants to Turkish universities. A major increase in quotas for foreign students, dual degree and exchange programs is stated. The author suggests algorithmic approaches to improve the image and increase Turkish education attractiveness through tourism and culture. As the result, the author determines the vectors of Turkey’s future development and draws conclusions on Turkey’s influence potential on the post-Soviet countries.
