The relationships between Germany and Kazakhstan have begun with the acquirement of independence by Kazakhstan in 1991 and continues until today. Although the historical process of these relationships are short, both countries have taken very important steps to develop and strengthen the ties between themselves. The Parties have managed to establish the legal basis of the bilateral relationships with several agreements signed in various areas. But unfortunately, it is a reality that there is insufficiency in ithe implementation of some of these agreements in practice. This condition affects the development of the relationships between the countries negatively. Both Germany and Kazakhstan accept that they have not been able to use the potentials they have in their hand for the development of the relationships between the two countries completely. Despite this it is noticed that the development rate of the relationships between these two countries has been increasing in the last 5 years. The reciprocal visits at high levels also positively affect the bilateral relationships. Both countries show great interest and importance to each other. Germany, which plays a mediator role between Europe and Kazakhstan, considers Kazakhstan playing an important role in its benefits in Central Asia. Another element which gives speciality to the relationships between Germany and Kazakhstan is the approximately 300,000 German minority living in Kazakhstan. This minority is playing like a "tie bridge" role between these two countries. Unfortunately, Germans living in Kazakhstan leave Kazakhstan and settle in Germany. Both countries do not want the migration of the German minority and try to make a suitable environment for Germans to stay in Kazakhstan. Although the Kazakhstan-Germany relationships have not reached their full potentials, there seems to be no obstacle for the development oftthese relationships in the future.trUluslararası ilişkilermasterThesis
