The Crisis in Russia-Azerbaijan Relations as an Indicator of the Kremlin's Loss of Positions in the South Caucasus: Causes, Course, Consequences

Summary/Abstract: This scholarly article analyzes the deterioration of relations between Russia and Azerbaijan, arguing that it reflects a broader decline in Russia's influence in the South Caucasus. The author examines the causes of this crisis, tracing it back to Azerbaijan's victory in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war and subsequent normalization of relations with Armenia and Turkey, undermining Russia's strategic leverage in the region. The shooting down of an Azerbaijani passenger plane by Russian air defenses and subsequent events are cited as key turning points, highlighting Russia's unwillingness to accept responsibility and Azerbaijan's escalating responses. The article further discusses the implications of this crisis, including the potential for increased US involvement in the region and the long-term prospects for a normalized relationship between Russia and Azerbaijan.
