Abstract:

 


This article’s aim is to represent the impact of the Russian-Georgian war from the Russian, Georgian, and Turkish point of views. The main focus of the study is to understand how Turkey’s state structure represented itself during the August war in 2008 and how it affected the world public opinion. Although the war excessively damaged the Turkish foreign policy, Turkish government supported Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial unity. Thus, assuming the role of a mediator between Turkey’s two major allies, the West and Russia, Turkey has managed to become one of the important regional players in this war.

Bu makalenin amacı 2008 Rusya-Gürcistan Savaşı'nın etkisini Gürcü, Rus ve Türk perspektifinden görmektir. Çalışmanın temel odak noktası, Türkiye devlet yapısının bu savaş sırasında kendini nasıl temsil ettiğini, dünya kamuoyunda bu etkinin ne şekilde olduğunu anlamaktır. Türk dış politikası bu savaşta olumsuz etkilense de Türk Hükümeti Gürcistan’ın egemenliği ve toprak bütünlüğünü savaş sırasında desteklemiştir. Böylece Türkiye, iki büyük müttefiki olan Batı ve Rusya arasında arabulucu olma rolünü üstlenerek mevzubahis savaşta önemli bölgesel oyunculardan biri olmayı başarmıştır.
