Features of bilateral relations between Turkey and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the context of role theory

As a result of the transformation of the international system in the 21st century, the role of Latin America is becoming increasingly important and interest in it is growing. Before the beginning of the 21st century relations of Turkey with the states of Latin America and the Caribbean were limited, but in the last two decades they have gained strategic importance. Venezuela is one of the countries that Turkey identifies as strategically important from the economical and political points of view. In this article, bilateral contacts between the two states have been examined through the lens of the "role theory", taking into account the overall role played by Turkey in Latin America and, in part, the role of Venezuela in the Middle East.
