This study examines how Türkiye has employed symbolic expressions and phrases in the formulation and implementation of its foreign policy since the establishment of the Republic, using them as implicit representations of its vision and strategic objectives. Colin Flint conceptualized such deliberate constructions—through which a state legitimizes and garners support for its policy goals and strategies—as a “Geopolitical Code.” Türkiye offers a compelling case of this phenomenon. Whenever facing rapid geopolitical shifts or crises, Türkiye has persistently designed and articulated new Geopolitical Codes to present its evolving grand strategy and political vision. Using the concept of the Geopolitical Code as a theoretical framework, this paper traces how Türkiye has constructed and utilized these Codes in response to changes in its geopolitical environment, and analyzes the meanings embedded in each phase. To achieve this, the study conducts a secondary data analysis of official government documents and relevant secondary sources. The analysis reveals that Türkiye’s foreign policy cannot be explained solely by material power or structural constraints. More crucial is understanding how the state defines its national interests, identifies allies and adversaries, and constructs symbolic narratives to justify strategic behavior. Continuous examination of these processes not only aids in forecasting Türkiye’s future diplomatic and strategic trajectories, but also contributes to the scholarly understanding of the discursive dimension of foreign policy analysis.
