This article is devoted to the study of the relationship between cultural heritage and geopolitical processes in the relations between Azerbaijan and the countries of the Turkic world. The work analyzes the historical roots, language, literary and traditional ties that form the basis of the common cultural space, as well as modern aspects of political and economic integration. Special attention is paid to the role of Azerbaijan as a strategic partner, whose geographical position and energy resources have a significant impact on the dynamics of regional processes. Using comparative analysis and theoretical approaches to issues of national identity and regional security, it is examined how a common cultural foundation contributes to the strengthening of diplomatic and economic relations between the countries of the Turkic world. The results of the study show that the symbiosis of cultural heritage and geopolitical interests creates a solid foundation for future cooperation and the formation of a common future for the region.
