Abstract

2008 Russia-Georgia war had a significant impact on not only fighting sides but also the countries in the region. Defeated Georgia lost the region of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and also faced with very serious economic and political problems. Altough Russia was the winner of the war, it also suffered a loss of international prestige and its relations with the West have become more problematic. While Turkey, whose relations with both sides have been in good condition, was undergoing economic losses, it was also in the centre of debates between the Western allies and Russia due to the Montreux Convention. Besides, Azerbaijan became irritated due to the Karabakh region and it was tough for Azerbaijan to establish balance betwwen Russia and the West on both oil and natural gas exports. The rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia may be considered as a reflection of this war.
