Abstract

This paper claims that, being part of the post-Ottoman area, the South Caucasus supports Türkiye in its revisionist aspirations and in forming the great power’s identity. Recent wars in Nagorno-Karabakh have also allowed Türkiye to become a new actor in the conflict-resolution process in the region. This study examines Türkiye’s revisionist foreign policy in the South Caucasus, employing a constructivist framework mixed with the realist term ‘revisionism’ to analyse the implementation of Türkiye’s revisionism through its military, cultural and religious aspects.
