The Geopolitical Developments of the Caucasus on the Relations Between Iran and Armenia

The present research studies the relations between Iran and Armenia in the geopolitical developments of the Caucasus region. The Caucasus, the connecting region of Europe and Asia and the meeting point of great civilizations, is considered one of the most important geopolitical and geoeconomic regions of the world. From a security point of view, Russia is trying to stabilize its past political, economic and military position in the Caucasus and the United States is also seeking to develop its influence and interests with economic investments and geopolitical energy management. Also, the Caucasus is the arena of activity of actors such as Turkey, Israel and the European Union who have entered this region with economic and political goals. In the meantime, intra-regional factors such as energy equations, crises and ethnic conflicts, political and social developments in the countries of this area and economic instability due to the free economy have also provided favorable grounds for intense regional and global competition.
