Abstract
When there are serious problems among countries, such as lack ofdiplomatic relations or closed borders, there are mainly two options to normalizetheir relations: Either, first at least solving the major problems and thennormalizing relations or the opposite which is normalizing relations first and thentrying to solve the problems in the course of time. A radical move would be, whilethe problems and conflicts remain, starting a process of integration and waiting forthe problems to vanish by themselves. Two neighboring states, Turkey andArmenia, have a few in quantity but big in quality problems which are very far frombeing solved even in the remote future. On the other hand, the European Unionproject successfully eliminated the problem of bloody wars, though havingproblems about its raison d’être at the moment. If a number of enemies on theEuropean continent accomplished to come together to start a clean page, why notthe ones in the Caucasus region would achieve a similar one?
