After the end of the Cold War, the world made a transition from a unipolar system to a multipolar system. In the new world order, the USA started to produce different theories to manage Eurasia and achieve world domination. The Turkic world was also included in this strategy as a share of the Eurasian region. American foreign policy, guided by the Clash of Civilizations, the Grand
