Богатые земли и стратегическое расположение этого региона на протяжении столетий привлекали внимание сильных соседей, пытающихся включить данный регион в свои границы. После окончания Первой мировой войны и обретения странами Южного Кавказа независимости регион превратился в один из тех точек мира, где началась «большая игра» за влияние. Эта игра закончилась советизацией Южного Кавказа.После распада СССР Южный Кавказ оказался в центре глобальных трансформаций и политических потрясений. На современном этапе в этом регионе выражаются интересы как региональных, так и глобальных акторов международных отношений. Среди этих акторов Турция также внедряется в регион с целью создания зону своего влияния. В условиях Карабахского конфликта, армяно-турецких, армяно-азербайджанских сложных отношений Грузия приобрела заметную роль в контексте региональной политики Турции в плане реализации функцию коридора между Турцией и тюркоязычными странами Центральной Азии и Южного Кавказа. Основываясь на этих фактах и придавая особое значение транспортировке энергетических ресурсов, Турция с середины 1990-х годов стала развивать тесные отношения с Грузией и успешно достигла высокого уровня сотрудничества практически во всех сферах.В данной статье анализирована роль Южного Кавказа во внешней политике Турции. Рассмотрены основные аспекты турецко-грузинских отношений на современном этапе. Особое внимание уделено месту Грузии во внешней политике Турции. Сделаны обобщающие выводы касательно эффективности и перспектив внешней политики Турции в отношении Грузии.Несмотря на то, что Грузия пытается диверсифицировать свою внешнюю политику, турецко-грузинские двусторонние отношения будут продолжать развиваться быстрыми темпами.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The South Caucasus has always been a vital link and an artery between the West and the East. For centuries the rich lands and strategic location of this region attracted the attention of strong neighbors who tried to include the region in their borders. After the First World War and the independence of the South Caucasus states, the region turned into one of those points of the world where began a big game for influence. This game ended with the sovietization of the South Caucasus.After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the South Caucasus has become a focus of global transformations and political upheavals. At the current age, here are appearing the profits of regional as well as global actors of international relations.The disintegration of USSR created vast opportunities for Turkey to spread its influence not only in the South Caucasus region, but also in Central Asia. In conditions of Karabakh conflict, Armenian-Turkish, Armenian-Azerbaijani complicated relations, Georgia assumed significant role in the context of Turkey’s regional policy, realizing an important function of a corridor between Turkey and Turkic speaking countries of Central Asia and South Caucasus.Based on these facts and giving special importance to the transportation of Caspian energy resources Turkey has been developing close relations with Georgia since the mid-1990s and has successfully reached a high level of cooperation in almost all spheres.In the article has been analyzed the role of South Caucasus in the foreign policy of Turkey. Has been reviewed the main aspects of Turkish-Georgian relations at the current stage. Special attention was paid to the place of Georgia in foreign policy of Turkey. General conclusions were made in regard to Turkey’s foreign policy towards Georgia for the effectiveness of vector and further progress.The author contends that despite the fact that Georgia is trying to diversify its foreign policy Turkish-Georgian bilateral relations will continue to develop at a fast pace.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Турция</kwd><kwd>Грузия</kwd><kwd>Южный Кавказ</kwd><kwd>региональная политика</kwd><kwd>двусторонние отношения</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Turkey</kwd><kwd>Georgia</kwd><kwd>South Caucasus</kwd><kwd>regional policy</kwd><kwd>bilateral relations</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Aras B., Akpınar P.
