Abstract
Turkey's new foreign policy over the past decade has been called "Neo Ottomanism". Turkey, along with maintaining its relations with the West, attempts to establish and develop political relations with the countries of the Middle East, especially for the countries in the historical context of the Ottoman Empire. The aim of this study is to explore and explain the dimensions of the new foreign policy of Neo Ottomanism in Turkey, and the challenges it brings for the Islamic Republic of Iran. The theoretical framework of this paper is based on the constructivist approach, and it is based on the assumption that the new Turkish foreign policy is a redefinition of a discourse rooted in the formation and development of its historical identity and due to this, foreign policy makers of Neo Ottomanism, based on published documents and predecessor policies in a decade of transferring power to the AKP, attemted to link Turkey's historical identity to its precious Western value. The hypothesis of this research suggests that one of the main pillars of Turkey's new foreign policy and the doctrine of neo- Ottomanism is its widespread influence and increased involvement in the Middle East region, especially in Syria and Iraq, so that Turkey should play a bold, active, and historically relevant role in the glorious history of the past period and its geographical depth. In many cases, this approach can have challenges and impacts on the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran and affect regional influence. Accordingly, the neo- Ottomanism foreign policy has reflected its relations with the surrounding countries. The development of this foreign policy, despite its positive effects on relations with Iran during the period from 2002 to 2012, brings many challenges for Iran, which we will focus on in this article.

Abstract
The study of Turkish cultural diplomacy in Iraq depends on understanding the new foreign policy view of the Middle East. By raising the issue of zero conflict and improving relations with the countries that survived the former Ottoman Empire, the Turkish government, within the framework of neo-Ottomanism and a unified Turkish identity in the form of nationalism, tried to present itself as a strategic trans-regional actor. Although recent developments in Turkey's domestic politics, as well as in the Arab Spring and its aftermath, have somewhat obscured the continuation of the Neo-Ottoman life, a zero-sum conflict in Turkey's foreign policy, it still adheres to the cultural diplomacy of this approach. In this context, Iraq is of strategic importance as Turkey's most important entry into the Middle East. Accordingly, the main question of the article is "What are the theoretical and practical aspects of Turkish cultural diplomacy in Iraq from 2003 to 2019, and to what extent is Turkey a key regional actor in addressing Iraq's macro-cultural, political and social structure?" Has it been successful? ” The findings show that Turkey has been able to deepen its sphere of influence in Iraq by focusing on its cultural structures and tools such as the media, Turkish films and series, Turkish language and literature, cultural-religious ties with Iraq, and strong ties with Turkmens as a single identity. Create for yourself. The research method in this paper is based on qualitative research based on and based on library method with data collection and analysis.
