Abstract

Interstate relations between the countries of the South Caucasus and the Middle East strongly perceive the religious and ethnic factor. The conflict between the religious areas of Sunni and Shiya affects the relations between Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Saudi Arabia. In this process, the Turkic community brings Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan closer. Israel in its regional policy supports anti-Shiite forces.
