Abstract :This study explores the evolving political, economic, and strategic relationship between Turkey and Algeria from 2003 to 2022. Rooted in a shared Ottoman legacy, both countries have developed a deep mutual trust that has laid the foundation for their expanding cooperation. The primary focus of this study is on the key sectors of collaboration, including energy, defense, and trade, and how these align with their broader regional and global aspirations. The paper examines the strategic partnership between Turkey and Algeria, particularly in their opposition to foreign military intervention in Libya, resistance to French influence in Africa, and growing economic interdependence.
