In the course of the past few years, Turkey’s relations with all three South Caucasus countries have been highly episodic. Thus far, Turkey has not achieved tangible results from its high profile attempts to influence the course of events, for example, in setting up a regional platform where countries of the regions will collaborate, or leveraging the prospect of an open border with Armenia to bring about the resolution of the Karabakh conflict. If Turkish foreign policy towards the Caucasus is judged today on the basis of some of its proclaimed goals – such as ironing out problems with neighbors or solving regional conflicts, it falls short of accomplishment.
