POSITIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ACTORS DURING THE THIRD KARABAKH WAR AND POST-WAR PERIOD: ANALYSIS AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

Federation The article analyses the positions of international actors in the framework of the third large-scale escalation of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. The author attributed to the tasks of the study an analysis of the activities of the Russian Federation, the USA, France, the United Kingdom and Turkey, their motives, the degree of interest, and the actions taken by them. The materials of the study were the works of experts on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, statements by officials, politicians, public figures; comparative-political, semantic, scenario and other methods were applied. The study allows the author to conclude that Russia's efforts to resolve the conflict have a practical result and are aimed at preventing its further escalation. Turkey actively supports Azerbaijan's aggressive actions and acts as a destabilizing factor with the ambitions of a regional leader. Britain encourages the Turkish side in the context of a geopolitical confrontation with Russia, while pursuing its own economic benefits. The United States and France do not actually take real steps to resolve the conflict and in general are not opposed to Turkey's expansionist policy, despite some disagreements.
