ABSTRACT THRACE ON THE EAST: GEORGIA? Kiremitçi, İlker M. A., Department of International Relations Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kibaroğlu June 2004 Since Turkey has turned its face towards Europe, it can be concluded that one of its 'backs' is the Caucasian region. However, Caucasia may not constitute Turkey's first security priority under present conditions, but this does not mean that it will not, in the future. Therefore, that Turkey should consider its 'back' from the security perspective is an indisputable reality. In that sense, this thesis examines one of the Caucasian states, namely GEORGIA, which is in the middle of the region, from the security point of view. How Georgia has been affecting Turkish security policies after the end of Cold War is the main concern of the thesis. Keywords: Turkey, Georgia (Republic), United States, Russian Federation, Caucasia (Caucasus), security, interest, military, energy, security policy.
ÖZET DOĞU' DAKI TRAKYA: GÜRCİSTAN? Kiremitçi, İlker Yüksek Lisans, Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Doç. Dr. Mustafa Kibaroğlu Haziran 2004 Türkiye yüzünü Avrupa'ya döndüğü için, onun 'arkalarından' birinin Kafkasya bölgesi olduğu sonucuna varılabilir. Ancak, günümüz koşullarında Kafkasya Türkiye'nin birinci güvenlik önceliğini oluşturmayabilir, fakat bu gelecekte olmayacağı anlamına gelmez. Bu nedenle, Türkiye'nin güvenlik alanında 'arkasını' dikkate alması gerektiği su götürmez bir gerçektir. Bu manada tez, Kafkas ülkelerinden birini, bölgenin ortasında bulunan Gürcistan'ı güvenlik açısından incelemektedir. Soğuk Savaş sonrası Gürcistan'ın Türk güvenlik politikalarını nasıl etkilediği tezin ana ilgisidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkiye, Gürcistan, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, Rusya Federasyonu, Kafkasya (Kafkas), güvenlik, çıkar, askeri, enerji, güvenlik politikası. IV
