THE ADVANCED STAGE OF RUSSIA-ARMENIA MILITARY COOPERATION: THE JOINT MILITARY FORCE
Abstract
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the military and politicalpower of Russia in many regions deteriorated significantly. The emergenceof newly independent republics induced Russia to redetermine its regionalpolicies. In this context, Russia developed new policies with regards to theCaucasia region. As South Caucasian republics, Azerbaijan, Georgia, andArmenia’s relations with Russia are different from one another. WhileGeorgie exhibited a stern stance against Russia (especially during M.Saakashvili’s term), Azerbaijan was forced to follow a relatively balancedpolicy. At the same time, both republics paid a heavy price during theirindependence struggle and lost their territorial integrity. Armenia,however, prepared a safe environment for itself under Russia’s patronage,and furthermore was used as a tool for the establishment of Russia’shegemony in the Caucasia region. Today, the relations between Russiaand Armenia are attempted to be presented as if they are relations betweentwo sovereign states. However, Russia’s coercive policy on Armenia isintensifying day by day. As some Armenian researchers highlight, the JointMilitary Force (or Joint Group of Forces) that is being recently formedbetween the two countries gravely harms Armenia’s status as a sovereignstate. The government of Armenia, however, evaluates this developmentas Russia’s assurance towards Armenia. This article seeks to evaluate thelegal status and military potential of the Joint Military Force, as well asthe reactions, criticisms, and support expressed in the public opinion ofArmenia towards this Force. Since the forming of the Joint Military Forceis part of Russia’s military hegemony policy and its support given toArmenia, the article seeks to consider this process from a comprehensiveperspective and also looks into the contents of the previously signedagreements
