Abstract:

Although some tensions occurred in Turkey-Azerbaijan relations now and again, it usually based on friendship and brotherhood. Particularly, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, these two countries became closer and relations have reached to the level of strategic partnership. This situation has showed its influence in social, economic, and political sphere and the two countries acting together directed themselves to regional policy. Even, this situation has caused overconfidence. This confidence caused countries not to be sufficiently recognized by neglecting each other. This result was quite clearly showed itself in Turkey-Armenia rapprochement. The Protocol signed between Turkey and Armenia strained Azerbaijan-Turkey relations and even it brought the bilateral relations to the point of rupture. Although after the problem both countries officials made great efforts to improve the relations, it left irreparable traces on both parties. This result demonstrated the necessity of the two countries’ relations to be discussed and created on a new basis.
