The Geostrategic Significance of Syunik: Balancing Regional and Global Powers
Nazaryan, Hayk and Hovhannisyan, Varduhi · 2024
Syunik, Armenia's southern province, sits at the intersection of competing cultures and geopolitical interests by virtue of its geography and resources. After the 44-day Artsakh war of 2020 the question of 'unblocking communications' resurfaced, and the article examines the transit and corridor projects promoted by different states, with particular attention to Syunik's place in them. It works through the International North-South Transport Corridor, the Persian Gulf–Black Sea project, and the Crossroads of Peace initiative, assessing Syunik's strategic relevance for regional stakeholders and global powers alike.
