Azerbaijan and Georgia: Playing Russian Roulette with Moscow

This article was written by Alex Petersen and Taleh Ziyadov. It was first published in Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst on January 10, 2007.

BACKGROUND: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia’s relations with both Azerbaijan and Georgia have been complicated.

During the first and second Yeltsin administrations (1992-1999), Moscow's ambiguous and chaotic foreign policy led to repeated diplomatic and political crises with Baku and Tbilisi. Hoping to keep the two states under Russia's control, the Yeltsin administration applied political pressure and adopted harsh policies towards them.

It assisted separatists inside Azerbaijan and Georgia and tried to block their leaders from realizing the U.S.-backed Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline project. Moscow’s policies turned out to be counterproductive, pushing both states away from its orbit.
