RESETTLEMENT POLICIES AND REGIONAL INSTABILITY: ARMENIAN POPULATION AS A STRATEGIC TOOL IN THE CAUCASUS

Abstract

The Caucasus has always been a region at the forefront of the attention of other states, characterized by a diverse population possessing rich civilizations and cultures. This region boasts a lengthy historical background. The favorable geographical position of the southern Caucasus and its abundant natural resources have consistently attracted the interest of major powers throughout history, occasionally transforming the region into an arena of contention. The northern Caucasus, due to its complex ethnic composition, can be considered one of the most intricate regions globally. Consequently, relationships and tensions among the various ethnic groups living here are prioritized issues in the northern Caucasus. While the majority of the population constitutes the indigenous inhabitants of the region, the demographic composition of the region has undergone changes due to recent migrations. Mutual migrations at the regional level, coupled with a deliberate increase in the number of diverse ethnic groups, have not only altered the ethnic composition but also disrupted the balance of power in the region. The Armenians, one of the peoples residing in the Caucasus, are cognizant of the region's favorable environment. The territorial claims and separatist inclinations directly and indirectly asserted by representatives of this people, who were mass-migrated to the region at certain stages of history and artificially increased in number, contribute to conflicts and confrontations in the Caucasus. In the presented article, the components of the Caucasus region, its population, the Armenians residing here, and their activities, as well as their settlements and separatist tendencies in these areas, have been elucidated. The article answers the question of how the historical resettlement policy of the state against the Armenian population in the Caucasus affected the ethnic balance and caused modern territorial conflicts in the region.
