Abstract. The Second Nagorno-Karabakh War led to a change in the regional balance of power in the South Caucasus. Turkey significantly strengthened its footprint in the region through diplomatic and military-political support of Azerbaijan in the conflict. Iran, on the other hand, tried to take a cautious stance in the face of tensions, prioritizing regional stability. After the end of the 44-day war, Iran's relations with Azerbaijan, as Turkey's closest ally, were marked by discord, with periods of escalation and de-escalation. In general, the South Caucasus as a region of strategic importance for both Iran and Turkey will continue to be a field of rivalry and clash of interests between the two powers.
