Abstract

After collapse of the Soviet Union, south Caucasus countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia) gained independence. This Independence was associated with tensions such as Ethnic and territorial disputes. These conflicts contain Kharabakh, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia which have remained unresolved till now. The main question is why these conflicts have remained unresolved and what conditions are required for the south Caucasus to achieve peace? The methodology of the present study is descriptive–analytical. A possible answer to the research question is that one of the main reasons for these conflicts is the military security of this region which was highlighted after the collapse of Soviet Union. If other issues such as economic and social status are considered by regional countries we can hope for closer relationships.
