Abstract
In this study, composition and volume of goods traded will be analyzed by using proportions and trends, to determine the level of commercial partnership of Turkey, Iran and Germany with central Asian countries. Moreover, Turkey's relative position against Iran and Germany will be determined and introduced by using technological structure of export and import data. In the study covering the years of 1999-2008, data for the foreign trade at the level of the SITC 2 was collected from COMTRADE. According to the findings, approximately 70% of Turkey’s exports to Central Asia occur lower and middle technology product groups but Germany's exports consist of medium and high technology product groups. Iran’s exports from the region include primary, source based and low-tech product group. Turkey and Germany's import from the region is dominated by raw material product groups. Iran’s structure of import is similar with export structure.
