Abstract
AB'nin Karadeniz Girişimleri ve Bunların Göç Kontrolü ve Güvenlik İşbirliği'ne Etkileri
European Union’s (EU) Black Sea Policy aims the promotion
of democracy and enhancement of civil society dialogue
at its first phase. However the current unresolvable
conflicts between Abkhazia and South Ossetia that belongs
to Georgia and Russia, Nagorno Karabagh problem between
Azerbaijan and Armenia certainly increases terrorism,
illegal migration and crime potential of the Black Sea
region. This situation directs the EU to develop more strategies
and policies on security cooperation and migration
control over Black Sea area- as political and economic stability
in Black Sea-a neighbor region, has a primary importance
for the EU considering its security and migration
policies. Therefore three complementary policy and initiatives
of EU, namely- European Neighborhood Policy (ENP),
Black Sea Synergy (BSS) and Eastern Partnership Initiative
(EaP), has been aimed to create a favorable ground for fostering
stability, security and prosperity around the Black
Sea. This paper specifically examines security and migration
cooperation between Black Sea Countries and the EU
in the abovementioned initiatives. Such aims and results of
these initiatives will be studied in relation with EU’s Migration
and Security Policy goals.<
