International Round Table “Caucasian trap for Russia”

On September 2, 2021 at 14:00, an international round table will be held in IA “Ukrinform”: “Caucasian trap for Russia.”

Statements of Russian politicians about the South Caucasus as a “zone of influence of Moscow”provide insight into of which strategy plans to carry out the Kremlin in the region. Russian troops are located in all three states of the South Caucasus so far. And regular military exercises, such as the Caucasus 2021, which are conducted also  in the occupied territories, only confirm the desire of Moscow to turn the Caucasus to its southern bridgehead. In addition, the Russian Federation conducts incessant information operations aimed at destabilizing the domestic political situation in the states of the region.

But what will the South Caucasus become for Russia, a bridgehead or cappon? What goals persecutes Russia, involving themselves in new conflicts without coming out of old ones? What can the collision of Russia’s interests with other geopolitical players in the region, and especially with Turkey? How will the change in the situation in Afghanistan and attempts to flirt with the Taliban affect the safety of the region?

These and other issues will be discussed by  invited experts:

  1. Levan Antia, Doctor of International Relations (Georgia)
  2. Gulu Ibrahimov, Head of the Public Organization “Analytical and Information Platform” (Azerbaijan / Ukraine)
