السياسة الروسية تجاه منطقة بحر قزوين بعد انتهاء الحرب الباردة

الملخص EN

The Caspian region was one of the most important determinants of Russian policy after the Cold War given its important strategic location, which controls the energy supply routes.

In addition, its rich and strategic wealth of oil and gas makes it one of the most strategic areas in the world, especially in view of the growing global demand for energy.

Those who control energy control the world.

These considerations prompted the regional and major states to try to compete with Russian influence in that region, especially after Russia's weakness in the aftermath of the Cold War and its preoccupation with its internal, political and economic problems.

However, the recovery of Russian power under Putin and his attempt to revive Russian interests to its former vital position has caused an increase in the international competition for hegemony over the region's resources, particularly the United States of America and, to a lesser extent, Turkey.

US policy is trying to prevent any Russian attempt to regain its role in the world in addition to the increasing US-Russian tension on a number of files, including Ukraine and Syria.
