Abstract
This study aims to measure and analyze the perceptions and attitudes of South Caucasian students, who
have been educating in Turkish higher education institutions, on Turkey before and after their arrival in Turkey
within the framework of the “soft power” mentality, that Turkey has recently opted for. Via the survey establishing
the core of this study, it is intended to measure whether there is a change of perception on Turkey before and after
the students’ arrival in Turkey, and if there is a change of perception, this study tries to understand the direction of it.
Moreover, this study also targets to put forward the common values between Turkey and South Caucasian countries,
as well as to advise on what can be done to develop cooperation in the field of education and to strengthen the
cultural ties and, additionally, social memory among regional countries. In other words, this study intends to put
forward whether the South Caucasian students’ perception of Turkey has progressively developed during their stay in
Turkey
