The panelists assessed the most important developments and phenomena in the closely interconnected regions of the Middle East, Central Asia, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Mediterranean and North Africa. Particular attention was paid to countries whose role is growing in 2022, including in relation to new integration initiatives (the reformatting of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia and the pan-Asian international organization, the intention of some countries to join the SCO and BRICS) and debates on shaping a new international political, financial, and economic order.
Such issues were considered as determining the common vector of developments in these regions and the place of this geostrategic space in the new global balance of power. There was a lively discussion of Turkey's role in regional and global affairs and the possibility of aligning Erdogan's plans with the interests of other regional and international actors, including the Russian Federation. Various aspects of the situation in and around Iran were also discussed. With the participation of scholars from Central Asian countries, they discussed the prospects for further evolution of integration processes in Central Asia, opportunities for consolidation and overcoming contradictions between the countries of the region, and the influence of extra-regional actors on these processes.
At the suggestion of Prof. A.G. Baklanov, the meeting participants called for this format of inter-regional discussion to become a permanent workshop, possibly with the formation of smaller sub-groups to discuss certain key aspects of such issues in the future.
