The New Great Game Round Up- November 17, 2013
NATO’s Deadly Legacy in Afghanistan, War in the South Caucasus, Washington Backs Turkic Project & More
*The Great Game Round-Up brings you the latest newsworthy developments regarding Central Asia and the Caucasus region. We document the struggle for influence, power, hegemony and profits in Central Asia and the Caucasus region between a U.S.-dominated NATO, its GCC proxies, Russia, China and other regional players.
After Ilham Aliyev won the heavily rigged presidential election in Azerbaijan and consolidated his power, the Azerbaijani leader decided to visit close ally Turkey on his first trip abroad. Baku and Ankara maintain very good relations and plan to increase cooperation in various areas. With the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku railway near completion, the Azerbaijani and Turkish governments are focusing on the next major project, the construction of the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP), which is set to begin in early 2014:
Turkey and Azerbaijan cement bilateral ties “We are taking steps on the area of energy which has strategic importance,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdog(an said, speaking at a press conference with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Turkey and Azerbaijan would work to bilaterally boost trade up from the current level of $4.2 billion per annum to $15 billion by 2020, Erdog(an noted.
Washington Backs Turkic Project
Aliyev explained the ambitious objective of the two countries during his trip when he stated that “the 21st century will be the century of the Turkic world.” In order to make this happen, Azerbaijan and Turkey want to increase their influence in Central Asia by strengthening ties with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan via the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States.
Washington is in favor of this plan and intends to remove more Turkic-speaking countries from Moscow’s sphere of influence with the help of NATO member Turkey and soon-to-be NATO member Azerbaijan, as demonstrated by a recent joint military exercise. In accordance with this strategy, the U.S.-led military bloc prefers to bypass the Kremlin and to work with members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) individually:
NATO wants to cooperate with CSTO countries individually NATO will not cooperate with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the North-Atlantic alliance wants to cooperate with the countries of the organization individually, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Tuesday in Brussels, reported RIA Novosti.
