ANALISIS PERAN TURKI UNTUK AZERBAIJAN DALAM KONFLIK NAGORNO-KARABAKH

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a border issue involving Armenia and Azerbaijan. This war is viewed as having an ongoing conflict resolution, which encourages other countries to extend their hands, one of which is Turkey. The country, which serves as a mediator for Nagorno-Karabakh, decided to form the OSCE Minsk Group as an important forum for conflict resolution. However, efforts to reconcile were marred by several anomalies due to the numerous alignments within each country. Turkey has a conflicted identity, making it sensitive to settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, although it is an active member of the OSCE Minsk Group, which firmly supports Azerbaijan on the basis of shared identity responsibility. The goal of this research is to determine Turkey's position as a mediator in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. According to Alexander Wendt, one of the founders of constructivism theory, the method to be employed in this study is descriptive qualitative, using Turkish identity as a variable. According to the findings of this study, Turkey has the capability of settling problems and also assists Azerbaijan because it has a firm foundation in the region. Turkey's global political tradition, which is based on the world, Asia, and Muslims, demonstrates this. This foundation has become a reference point for Turkey in developing its relations with Azerbaijan, one of which is with a slogan to unite identity, as well as with the military as a form of defense.
