The tension between Georgia and Russia, which led to war in August, changed the balance of power in the Caucasus, as well as around the world, and Turkey and Armenia have benefited from it, according to specialists who came together for a discussion of Turkish-Armenian relations in Yerevan.
Turkish-Armenian relations gained momentum after a regional crisis erupted following a Georgian military offensive in its Russian-backed breakaway region of South Ossetia and Ankara came up with a proposal to prevent such disputes in the future. The Turkish government promoted a platform called the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Pact (CSP) supported by visits to Moscow, Tbilisi and Baku. Armenia backed the idea as well.
