İran Ekseninde Türkiye-Ermenistan İlişkileri: Anlaşmazlıktan Kazanca
Turkey-Armenia Relations With Regards To Iran: From Dispute To Profit

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the political and historic tensions between Turkey and Armenia, which have become a pile of troubles, have been analysed from the perspective of Iran, and the relations between these bordering countries with a capacity of effecting the international system have been defined to set forth a soft power based solution proposal towards the future. The study has been constructed on the spill-over effect phenomenon of neo-functionalism theory, as well as on the assumption that the relations between Turkey and Armenia can be improved within the frame of international dependency. In order to achieve this target, the trust levels towards Armenia and Turkey, of the sample with a high level education in Iran, have been compared. According to the findings of the study, the pro-regime people in Iran, hence the governing elite trust Turkey more than they do to Armenia. Taking this data as a starting point, the study suggests that Turkey establishes soft power based relations with both Armenia and Iran in economic terms, despite the political balance and alliance policies between Iran and Armenia.
