AZERBAIJAN-ARMENIAN CONFLICT WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF RUSSIA’S NEAR ABROAD POLICY
Öz
This study aims to
analyze Russia’s near abroad policy with a focus on an interstate conflict
between the Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh. South Caucasus region has increasingly
attracted attention of the scholars in the Post-Cold War era. 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 showedf itself by not being neutral and problem-
solving actors 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..
