Abstract :The goal of this article is to better grasp and interpret the elements for a specific term that influence Turkish-American bilateral affairs, which throughout the previous few years have experienced a roller coaster. Turkish foreign policy formerly followed a Western-based course in accordance with the state\'s goal of westernization. Turkish foreign policy, on the other hand, has changed gradually as it turned out to be evident that the protracted EU admission efforts would not come to a conclusion. Therefore, current foreign policy of Türkiye, which is less Western centric and intimately tied with the geography of the former Ottoman Empire, has had an impact on bilateral affairs with the United States. Common interests are the most essential element influencing bilateral ties between Türkiye and the United States. The article investigates how bilateral connections are sustained when two countries have mutual concerns, as well as the implications of this if the two states have opposing concerns. As a result of the research conducted for this study, the international organizations of which the two states are a part have been ineffective in changing the interest-oriented framework of the bilateral relationship.
