Turkey’s Involvement in Azerbaijan–Armenia Relations in the Context of Regional Dialogue and Stability
Abstract
Purpose. The aim is to analyze Turkey’s role in Azerbaijan–Armenia relations from theoretical and practical perspectives within the context of ensuring regional dialogue and stability.
Method: The study employs historical-political analysis, the comparative method, and document analysis to examine Turkey’s involvement and its impact on regional stability.
Theoretical implications. The study demonstrates that regional dialogue and stability play a crucial role in the resolution of conflicts in the South Caucasus. A theoretical assessment of Turkey’s involvement reveals its function as both a mediator and a strategic actor. At the same time, the maintenance of regional stability depends on the development of mutual trust and cooperation mechanisms among states.
Practical implications. The practical findings of the study indicate that Turkey’s active involvement promotes the normalization process in Azerbaijan–Armenia relations. This, in particular, creates favorable conditions for the implementation of economic projects and the opening of communication corridors. Dialogue initiatives facilitated by Turkey contribute to the enhancement of regional trust. As a result, practical mechanisms for the stabilization of interstate relations and the expansion of mutual cooperation are formed.
Value. The scientific and practical significance of the study lies in clarifying Turkey’s role in Azerbaijan–Armenia relations within the context of regional dialogue and stability, thereby providing a foundation for decision-making and analytical assessments for policymakers and researchers.
