Vorwort

The RSSC SG sought to further address a host of security problems with consequences far beyond the South Caucasus region. One of those problems has been the dénouement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani confl ict. Another is Georgia’s rapprochement with Russia. In the 26th RSSC SG workshop a number of questions were raised: What form of conflict resolution can be expected between the belligerents? Could there be a regional solution in order to move from conflict to peace? How could such a solution meet the competing interests and strategic goals of regional powers like Russia, Türkiye, and Iran? How could the states of the South Caucasus best deal with the Russia- West confrontation over Ukraine and the ensuing regional strategic competition? Would better coordination among Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia be feasible, and could it work as an incentive or a hindrance to re-building a new, functioning framework for stability and security in the South Caucasus?
