THE ANALYSIS OF UKRAINIAN CRISES’ EFFECTS ON BELARUS-RUSSIA BILATERAL RELATIONS

Abstract

This article analyzes the effects of Ukrainian Crises on Belarus-Russia bilateral relations with the help of historical facts and recent event. Russia’s position and power give her a chance to dominate the region in which ex-Soviet Union territories currently exist as independent states. The dependence to Russia on economy does not allow countries like Belarus to ignore rising situation. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia forced Belarus to adopt new policy and approaches not only its relation with Ukraine but also with Russia. The article argues that because of historical roots and economic dependence Ukrainian Crises’ effects are greater and anticipated.

UKRAYNA KRİZİ’NİN BELARUS-RUSYA İKİLİ İLİŞKİLERİNE ETKİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu makale, Ukrayna Krizi’nin Belarus-Rusya ikili ilişkileri üzerindeki etkilerini tarihsel olgularla ve son olaylarla birlikte incelemektedir. Rusya’nın konumu ve gücü, şuanda Sovyetler Birliği’nin eski topraklarında bağımsız devletlerin bulunduğu bölgeye hâkim olma şansını veriyor. Rusya’ya olan ekonomik bağımlılık Belarus gibi ülkelerin bölgedeki artan tansiyonu görmezden gelmelerine izin vermiyor. Ukrayna ile Rusya arasındaki ihtilaf, Belarus'u sadece Ukrayna ile ilişkilerinde değil, Rusya ile olan ilişkilerinde de yeni politikalar geliştirmeye zorlamıştır. Makale, tarihsel bağlar ve ekonomik bağımlılık nedeniyle Ukrayna Krizi’nin etkilerinin öngörüldüğünden daha büyük olduğunu savunuyor.
