Turkey’s political-religious activity in Austria, which constitutes the research problem of this paper, has been analysed through the prism of “religious diplomacy”. Therefore, the paper attempts to assess Turkish religious activity in contemporary Austria. The aim of this article is to determine the role and significance of “religious diplomacy” as a foreign policy tool of Turkey in the era of Justice and Development Party (AKP) rule. It can be argued that the period of Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s and the AKP’s rule is characterised by the government’s increased commitment to promoting the Turkish model of Islam. It seems that the religious factor is shaping Turkey’s current policy in Europe, but on the other hand activity in this area can also be seen as an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of another state – as will be presented on the example of Austria later in this text. The state of Turkish religious diplomacy in Austria has been analysed on the basis of the political-religious activities of the Austrian Diyanet branch, i.e., ATID. It seems adequate to state that in this respect Turkish religious diplomacy as an instrument for using religion to promote the country among native Austrians must be considered ineffective. The lack of effectiveness in this field resulted in Turkish religious diplomacy in Austria being reduced to activating the Turkish diaspora in Austria and forming a Turkish identity there.

Целью данной статьи является анализ религиозного измерения внешней политики Турции в эпоху правления Партии справедливости и развития и форм его реализации. В статье утверждается, что Турецкая Республика в эпоху правления ПСР становится одним из главных государственных акторов международных отношений, который начинает использовать религию как инструмент мягкой силы в своей внешней политике. В то же время, используя «религиозную дипломатию» как формальный инструмент укрепления имиджа государства на международной арене. «Религиозная дипломатия» является основным инструментом «мягкой силы» Турции для укрепления международных позиций страны после «холодной войны». Он направлен на продвижение турецкой модели ислама как умеренного типа ислама, который может сосуществовать с современностью и мультикультурализмом. Он также продвигает турецкий язык и культуру наряду с религиозными учебными программами, связывая суннитский ислам и турецкий национализм.

The aim of this article is to analyse the religious dimension of Turkey’s foreign policy in the era of Justice and Development Party rule and the forms of its implementation. The article argues that the Republic of Turkey, in the era of AKP rule, is becoming one of the main state actors in international relations, which is beginning to use religion as an instrument of soft power in its foreign policy. At the same time, using “religious diplomacy” as a formal tool to strengthen the state’s image in the international arena. „Religious diplomacy” is the primary tool of Turkish soft power to strengthen the country’s international position after the Cold War. It aims to promote the Turkish model of Islam as a moderate type of Islam that can coexist with modernity and multiculturalism. It also promotes Turkish language and culture alongside religious curricula by linking Sunni Islam and Turkish nationalism.
