Abstract

Önemli bir tarihsel geçmişi olmasına ragmen, Soveytler Birliği’nin dağılmasından sonra egemenliğini kazanmış olan Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan arasındaki Dağlık Karabağ sorunu 1992’den günümüze kadar Güney Kafkasya’daki en önemli çatışma konusunu oluşturmuştur. BM Güvenlik Konseyinin birden çok kararına ve ulusularası topluma ragmen buradaki Azerbaycan topraklarını işgal etmiş olan Ermenistan ABD ve AB’deki güçlü diasporasının etkisiyle bu de facto durumdan geri adım atmamış, bu çerçevede oluşturulan Minsk Grubunun çalışmaları da bu soruna bir çözüm getirememiştir. Bu çalışmayla 2020 yılında yaşanan son çatışmanın analizi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, ilk bölümde tarihsel arka plan ortaya konarak tüm taraflar ve etkileri ortaya konmuş, sonrasında çatışmada yaşananlar ve barış anlaşmasına yer verilerek, anlaşma sonrası oluşan son durum incelenmiştir. Sonuçta, çatışmanın bir analizi yapılarak Güney Kafkasya’da ortaya çıkan yeni durum hakkında bir değerlendirmede bulunulmuştur.

THE NEW BALANCE OF POWER IN THE SOUTHERN CAUCASUS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT IN 2020

Abstract

Although it has an important historical background, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which gained its sovereignty after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, has been the most important conflict issue in the South Caucasus from 1992 until today. Despite the multiple resolutions of the UN Security Council and the international community, Armenia which occupied the Azerbaijani territories there did not take a step back from this de facto situation with the influence of the strong diaspora in the USA and the EU, and the work of the Minsk Group established within this framework could not bring a solution to this problem. It is aimed in this paper to analyze the above-mentioned conflict in 2020. In this context, in the first part, the historical background is set forth and all parties and their effects are revealed. Later on, the events of the conflict and the peace agreement are included, and the final situation after the agreement is examined. Lastly, an analysis of the conflict has been made in conclusion, and also the new situation that emerged in the South Caucasus has been evaluated
