The ongoing geopolitical transformations in the Middle East region significantly impact the South Caucasus countries - Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. This research analyzes the escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, Turkey's enhanced regional role, and their interconnections with South Caucasus security, economic, and regional stability issues. The research methodology encompasses comparative analysis of inter-country relations, assessment of energy corridors, and examination of geostrategic interests. The findings demonstrate that Middle Eastern developments directly influence South Caucasus economic development, energy security, and regional cooperation. The study reveals the complex interdependencies between Middle Eastern dynamics and South Caucasus regional architecture, highlighting the need for adaptive policy frameworks that can effectively respond to evolving regional challenges while capitalizing on emerging opportunities for enhanced cooperation and stability.
