IS END OF A DREAM? REASSESSING THE NATO ENLARGEMENT POLICY TOWARD THE BLACK SEA AND CAUCASUS REGIONS*

SSCB'nin dağılmasından sonra Ukrayna ve üç Kafkas devleti (Gürcistan, Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan), farklı üyelik arzularına rağmen, halen NATO üyeliği elde etmeye çalışmaktadırlar. Çeşitli faktörler söz konusu ülkelerin NATO üyeliğini elde etmesindeki gecikmede belirgin rol oynamıştır. Özetle, Rusya'nın aşırı karşıt tutumu, ABD hariç diğer NATO'nun büyük devletlerin genişlemenin Doğu Avrupa sınırlarının ötesine taşınmasına yönelik isteksizliği, bölgedeki etnik, dinsel ve kültürel çatışmalardan kaynaklanan istikrarsızlıklar, Washington'un bölgeye yönelik kısmi olarak değişen politikası ve aday devletlerde NATO'ya yönelik içte yoğunlaşmış ulusal çaba eksikliği, NATO'nun Karadeniz ve Kafkaslardaki genişlemesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu ülkelerin NATO üyesi olma rüyası halen gerçekleşmemesine rağmen, küresel, bölgesel ve ülkesel güvenlik için NATO'ya olan yüksek hedeflerini sürdürmelidirler.

Bir Rüyanın Sonu mu? NATO'nun Karadeniz ve Kafkaslardaki Genişlemesinin Yeniden Değerlendirilmesi

Since the breakaway of USSR Ukraine and three Caucuses states (Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia) has, despite different will, still been endeavoring to acquire the NATO membership. Various factors have played significant role at the delay of those countries' attainment of NATO membership. In a summary, Russian strong counter-stance; the reluctance of, except the US, other major NATO members attitude toward enlarging NATO beyond Eastern Europe borders; instabilities in the region aroused from ethnic, religious and cultural conflicts; the partial change at the Washington Policy toward region and, the lack of internal consolidated national efforts at candidate states have adversely influenced the NATO enlargement at Black Sea and Caucuses; Although the dream of being NATO membership for those countries has not made happen so far, they must maintain their aspiration toward NATO for the regional and country level security.
