The Turkish-Armenian Rapprochement at the Deadlock

Author : Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI - Italy)
by Nona Mikhelidze
 
In this first issue of IAI's Observatory on the Caucasus the author examines some recent developments in Turkey's relations with the Caucasus. In October 2009, after intense diplomatic talks and the active involvement of key external actors, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian signed two protocols aimed at restoring bilateral relations. The agreements have however remained unratified due to political obstacles closely linked to historic disputes and the geopolitical constellation in the South Caucasus. As a result, even if rapprochement between Ankara and Yerevan has the potential of producing far-reaching changes in the regional political equilibrium, the status quo remains the most likely scenario.
