45452

With the end of the Cold War, a global competition began for the exploration, extraction and transportation of the Caspian energy resources. It is suggested that the cooperation of the two energ-rich countries, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, will not only increase the influence of these countries in the international arena, but also contribute to the energy security. Turkmenistan’s active foreign policy with Berdimuhamedov increased the impact of Turkmenistan on the energy projects. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, will be able to focus more on energy projects after it liberated its territories from the Armenian occupation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with a successful military operation.In this article, the cooperation of Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan is analyzed within the framework of the developments in foreign policies of these countries and regional security.
