Abstract

The South Caucasus is a geostrategic region, the interest of which increased especially after the collapse of the USSR and became the center of global changes. The region is bordered by three important political actors - Russia, Turkey and Iran. The interests of the USA and China should also be taken into account here. The favorable geographical location gave the world's powerful states an impetus to fight to strengthen their influence in the desired country, which in turn led to influencing the direction of the policies of these smaller states.

The ethno-political situation and existing ethno-conflicts in the countries of the South Caucasus should not affect the development of the region. Both the US and various international peacekeeping, trade and economic organizations are involved in this process. Integration between these countries is the only correct political process.

Georgia is the only country among the countries of the South Caucasus, which has a special geographical location with access to the Black Sea. Georgia is trying to maintain regional stability and adjust the role of a mediator between Armenia and Azerbaijan, so as not to interfere with the implementation of those global economic projects, which are the basis for the progress and development of the countries of the South Caucasus.
