A Review on Regional International Relations of 2012: US-Russia Policies in the Caucasus Region

Abstract

This study analyzed the history of the USA's Caucasus policy after the USSR's disintegration. It examined the struggle between the USA and Russia to share the Caucasus in the period following the disintegration of the Soviets and what kind of policies the USA produced for the Caucasus. We analyzed the USA's policies towards Azerbaijan and Armenia at the beginning of the study and then examined the Russian-Georgian war period.

The USA intervenes in the Caucasus region, which has a critical geostrategic location, even from a distance, and it cannot share this region with Russia despite the end of the Cold War. Saakashvili took office after the tulip revolution in Georgia supported by the US dollar billionaire of Jewish origin, George Soros. Then, when Georgia entered the autonomous region of Adjaria, Russia entered there with tanks, claiming it her own. Not limiting itself with it, Russia entered Batumi with tanks and caused extensive destruction. Unfortunately, the USA refrained from supporting Georgia and intervening in this war, fearing that a war with Russia might break out if it did.
