New Energy and Economic Cooperation Opportunities in the
South Caucasus: The Role of the Second Karabakh War
Abstract
The South Caucasus has become an important center due to its geostrategic location and energy wealth. The Second Garabagh War made a major change in the geopolitical structure of the region, revealing the need to reshape energy corridors, trade routes and economic cooperation. As new energy equations emerged with the end of the war, important opportunities and risks arose for international actors. In particular, Azerbaijan's energy resources and energy transmission lines passing through the region are of strategic importance for Europe's energy security. The consequences of this war forced a re-evaluation of energy strategies, corridor security and regional cooperation mechanisms.
