Armenia's foreign policy: Small state irredentism

Ermeni dış politikası küçük devletlerin bölgesel güç mücadelelerine taraf olmaları ve bölgesel güçlerden biri tarafından desteklendiklerinde nasıl o bölgelerde istikrarsızlık kaynağı olabileceklerini açıkça göstermektedir. Birçok farklı ülkede diasporaya sahip olduğundan Ermenistan çok yönlü bir dış politika izleyebilecek ve bölgesel enerji kaynaklarının iletilmesi açısından önemli bir ülke konumuna gelebilecekti. Ancak Dağlık Karabağ ihtilafı, Ermenistan 'ın bu çatışmada ayrılıkçılığı destekleyen konumu ve komlu ülkeler ile ilişkileri, Ermenistan'a egemenliğini güçlendirme ve komşuları ile yapıcı ilişkiler kurmasını engellemiştir. Bu makalede Ermenistan'ın Dağlık Karabağ ihtilafına yönelik politikası komşuları ve özellikle Rusya ve Türkiye ile ilişkileri değerlendirilecektir.

(Ermenistan'ın dış politikası: Küçük devlet ayrılıkçılığı)

Armenian foreign policy showed how small states can also be source of instability in their regions if they became a part of the regional power struggle and if they are supported by one of the major regional power. With the existence of Diaspora in various countries, Armenia could follow multi dimensional foreign policy and become important country for the transportation of regional energy resources. However the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia s irredentist policy regarding the conflict and its relations with the neighbors did not allow Armenia to strengthen its sovereignty and to have constructive relations with its neighbors. In this article Armenia s policy towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia's relations with its neighbors and particularly its relations with Russia and Turkey will be analyzed.
