The Role of Social Media in the Process of Development of the Socio-Political Structure of Turkish Society and Azerbaijani-Turkish Relations

Abstract

Social Networks play an effective role in setting the agenda, making social and political decisions, bringing about changes in the governance system and in many other sectors in Turkey. In 2013, social media was used as the main means of communication to spread the events that started in Taksim Gezi Park of Istanbul to the whole country. President Erdogan of Turkey, invited the citizens to go to the streets on social media to prevent a military coup attempt, that changed the fate of a society on June 15, 2016. Social media, at the same time, comes to the fore in terms of cross-country relations to the agenda of citizens. For example, it is possible to clearly see the reflection of historical friendship and fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey in the posts of social media users. In particular, the support provided at the state level during the Second Karabakh War by ordinary citizens on the agenda through social media has taken on special significance at a time when information warfare is seen as one of the most important elements of winning the war. The study clarifies the role of social media in communication, evaluates the prospects for the development of Turkish-Azerbaijani relations, and studies the role of social media in the formation of Turkish society and the development of Turkish-Azerbaijani relations using specific examples.
