Recalibration of power relations in the Wider Black Sea Region after Nagorno-Karabakh

Summary/Abstract: Nagorno-Karabakh conflict brought a new impetus and a dramatic change in the power politics in the Wider Black Sea Region. Both the situation on the ground and new military technologies and tactics, as well as the entrance of the unilateral Russian peace keeping forces in Nagorno-Karabakh are changing dramatically the landscape in this security complex, as well as in the Middle East and Black Sea-Eastern Mediterranean Sea conundrum. The Astana Format is under pressure as well as the relations of Russia with the West and the multilateral institutions responsible for the legitimacy of a solution in the Caucasus. Moreover, the fall back into the Yasushi Akashi type of solution drags Caucasus behind some three decades ago, in a nationalist explosion and an exclusion ethnic puzzle solution for weakened states, under external control, in the post-soviet space.
