Abstract
This article discusses the impact of the Armenian-Azeri conflict on regional insecurity and a strategic partnership between Turkey and Russia in the South Caucasus. Like the Ottoman and Russian Empires of old, Russia and Turkey continued to have conflicting interests in the region after the end of the Cold War. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 turned this confrontation into a partnership between Moscow and Ankara, as both Russia and Turkey exploited opportunities to expand their control and influence in the region. Lilia Arakelyan and Hanna Kassab argue that Russia and Turkey’s prestige-seeking behaviour is based on reciprocated recognition of greatness through cooperation and mutual support. ◼
