On the Caspian Sea and the Ineptitude of Western Capitals: The “Forgotten” Eurasia

The Russians and Iranians are joining forces to dominate the Caspian Basin and open a North-South corridor intended to compete with the Suez route. Allied with Azerbaijan, which stands at the crossroads of the North-South and East-West axes, the Turks are striving to gain access to the Caspian Sea in order to develop a pan-Turanian policy in Turkestan. The Chinese are extending their new “Silk Roads” through the area toward the Mediterranean and Europe. European states are struggling to agree on their Eastern policy, while the Trump administration dreams of withdrawing from the world. The Caspian Sea can wait, at the risk of destabilizing Euro-Asian and global balances.
