Particularly, interstate and interethnic conflicts have carried the region to a higher place within the agenda of International Relations discipline. External hegemonic powers have always continued their involvement in the region. For this reason, the study concentrates on Russia as the main external actor in the region and analyzes the policy of Russia particularly towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Throughout the history of South Caucasus, Russia has had its mark on all political and economic regional dynamics. Thus, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has occupied a central place in Russia’s near abroad policy and thus has interfered in the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict. Russia’s everlasting interest in the region showed <s>f </s> itself by not being neutral and problem- solving actor <s>s </s> during the conflict. However, after the cease-fire agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Russia started to act as a mediator. In this regard, the paper will analyze Russia’s policy with respect to political-military dynamics in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">. </span> </i> <br /> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i>}, number={2}, publisher={İzmir Katip Çelebi Üniversitesi}
