Abstract
The palaeomagnetic studies carried out on Permian to Triassic formations from the north-west part of the Great Caucasus and from southwest Turkmenistan question the existing palaeogeographic models of evolution of this Central Asia region. The impressive differences in latitude between the Scythian and Turan plates, and the East European Platform during the Permo-Triassic, lead us to suppose that the Scythian-Turan blocks moved away from Eurasia during the Permian in a large transversal westward movement. The docking of this block onto the southern border of Eurasia probably occurred at the end of the Triassic.
