چکیده

جمهوری‌های گرجستان و ارمنستان، امروزه بازیگران منطقه‌ای و بین‌المللی متعددی را بخود جلب کرده‌ است و اهمیت فوق‌العاده تاریخی خود را مجدد بازیافته‌اند. گرجستان و ارمنستان که زمانی، حیات خلوت روسیه و اتحاد جماهیر شوروی بودند و در ادوار متمادی تاریخ نیز محل منازعه و رقابت بازیگران منطقه بوده‌اند، اکنون به محل رقابت قدرت‌های بزرگ کنونی تبدیل شده و هر کدام از بازیگران منطقه‌ای و جهانی بدنبال حضور، نفوذ و تامین هرچه بیشتر منافع خود هستند. برای درک بهتر اهمیت این منطقه برای قدرت‌های بزرگ بویژه آمریکا و روسیه و گرایشات گرجستان و ارمنستان به هر یک از این دو قدرت، به بررسی اهداف این دو قدرت در منطقه قفقاز جنوبی پرداخته خواهد شد. در پژوهش پیش‌رو این پرسش مطرح می‌گردد که کشورهای ارمنستان و گرجستان از سال 2008 به بعد به سمت کدام قدرت شرق و غرب متمایل بوده است؟ نتیجه کلی مقاله نشان می‌دهد که گرجستان و ارمنستان برای همکاری با ناتو، دارای انگیزه‌هایی هستند. در این میان بنظر می‌رسد، گرجستان حضور ناتو را بعنوان مقدمه‌ای برای اروپایی شدن ترجیحاً دریافت کمک‌های مالی بیشتر می‌داند و نتیجتاً می‌توان بیان نمود که از میان دو بازیگر فرامنطقه‌ای، نقش آمریکا از دیگران بارزتر بنظر می‌رسد. آمریکا دارای منافع منطقه‌ای در گرجستان و ارمنستان است.

چکیده [English]

The Republics of Georgia and Armenia have today attracted numerous regional and international actors and regained their extraordinary historical significance. Georgia and Armenia, once the backdrop of Russia and the Soviet Union, and which have long been the scene of conflict and rivalry between regional actors, have now become the scene of rivalry between the major powers, each seeking regional presence, influence and provide as many benefits as possible. In order to better understand the importance of this region for the great powers, especially the United States and Russia, and the tendencies of Georgia and Armenia towards each of these two powers, the goals of these two powers in the South Caucasus region are examined. Leading research raises the question of which Eastern and Western powers have Armenia and Georgia turned to since 2008? In fact, this research descriptively-analytically examines the hypothesis that Georgia and Armenia have incentives to cooperate with NATO. In the meantime, it seems that the Republic of Georgia sees the presence of NATO as a prelude to Europeanization, preferably receiving more financial aid, and as a result, it can be said that among the two trans-regional actors, the role of the United States seems more prominent than the others. The United States has regional interests in Georgia and Armenia.
