The United States continues to pursue a \u201csoft policy,\u201d attempting to contain escalating conflicts while maintaining control over the region\u2019s key players. Efforts to manage the crises in Gaza, Syria, and elsewhere are accompanied by attempts to limit Israel\u2019s operations in Iran and Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is notable that, in the event of a potential war around Iran, Washington avoided launching ground operations. This decision was not only pivotal for the Middle East but also carried predictable consequences for the South Caucasus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Turkey and Azerbaijan\u2019s role<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite Turkey\u2019s de jure absence from some developments, its de facto presence remains undeniable. Baku continues to capitalize on emerging opportunities. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe &#8220;Middle Corridor&#8221; is of primary importance today for China, Central Asia and Europe. In the event of the opening of this corridor, Turkey will receive a direct connection with Europe, and Azerbaijan will try to strengthen its transit role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This context underscores the significance of the so-called \u201cZangezur Corridor.\u201d Yet the issue extends far beyond regional politics. It consists of two massive dimensions: a political one, where state-level decisions are made, and an economic one, where the fate of major powers\u2019 energy and logistics routes is determined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the latter case, neither Turkey nor Azerbaijan can act independently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Clash of U.S. and Chinese interests<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two major logistical models are currently competing on the global stage:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China\u2019s \u201cMiddle Corridor\u201d (China\u2013Central Asia\u2013Caucasus\u2013Europe)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The India\u2013Middle East\u2013Europe model, which enjoys strong U.S. backing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington supports the Indian route as a counterweight to China\u2019s growing influence. The unconditional support of Washington and Israel for New Delhi during the recent India-Pakistan conflict was a vivid proof of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Armenia, this creates a complex diplomatic challenge. The current government is attempting to \u201cflirt\u201d with the U.S. while simultaneously exploring opportunities with China \u2014 a balancing act that inherently carries contradictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Iran\u2019s role and regional balance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China has long established a firm foothold in Iran. Therefore, U.S. presence in the South Caucasus represents not only an attempt to influence Armenia but also a means to monitor Iran and China\u2019s regional moves. If the corridor strategy becomes reality, Washington will likely seek to control the region\u2019s logistics network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the U.S. is not interested in allowing the so-called \u201cTuran Corridor\u201d to evolve into a platform for political Sunnism. This project is not American in origin; rather, it is British, rooted in 19th-century geopolitical thinking when the ideology of Pan-Turkism emerged as a counterweight to Russian influence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Potential U.S.\u2013Russia understanding<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is plausible that Moscow and Washington could reach a semi-secret understanding on certain regional matters. The recent Putin\u2013Trump meeting and discussions of Russian proposals regarding Ukraine indicate that such a platform may already be emerging. This, in turn, could have implications for the South Caucasus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a consensus is reached among Iran, Russia, and the United States, the \u201cZangezur Corridor\u201d is unlikely to become a tool of Sunni political expansion. Iran\u2019s firm stance on the issue further supports that likelihood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Turkey\u2019s ambitions and the U.S. \u201cbalanced policy\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turkey aspires to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council by 2025, reflecting its geopolitical ambitions. However, both the U.S. and Russia are unlikely to allow Ankara to evolve into a dominant power in the region. Washington is pursuing a policy of balance \u2014 weakening Turkey in some areas while empowering it in others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The U.S. continues to support Kurdish forces in Syria, demonstrating that Washington views Turkey not as an unshakable ally but as a factor that must remain under constant supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Energy calculations and geopolitical competition<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azerbaijan\u2019s attempts to enter the Middle Eastern energy market \u2014 particularly in Syria \u2014 could disrupt the delicate regional power balance. Moreover, the $750 billion energy agreement recently signed between the U.S. and the EU signals Washington\u2019s intent to dominate Europe\u2019s gas market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this context, it becomes evident that without consensus among the global powers, no large-scale energy or logistics project will have a stable foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>An era of mutual dependence<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world stands at the threshold of a new geopolitical reconfiguration. For the South Caucasus, this means that Armenia\u2019s foreign policy must rely on cool calculation rather than emotional alignment. Negotiations surrounding the \u201cZangezur Corridor\u201d should be viewed not as a local dispute but as part of a broader global competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armenia\u2019s greatest mistake would be to rely on a \u201csingle patron\u201d. The country must instead pursue a balanced foreign policy that allows it to navigate the interests of the United States, Russia, and China \u2014 while preserving the core pillars of its sovereignty.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new geopolitical reality is taking shape in the Middle East, drawing renewed global attention.
