The article examines the geopolitical and geoeconomic position of Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus region. Since the signing of the "Treaty of the Century" on September 20, 1994, the Azerbaijani state has once again proved that it is the most influential state in the region, both politically and economically, pursuing a consistent and balanced domestic and foreign policy. The Azerbaijani state has approved large projects in the South Caucasus region, while pursuing a policy of friendship and mutual cooperation with the countries of the region. One such megaproject discussed in the article is the Trans Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP). TANAP, which was implemented in 2011-2020 and is the main segment of the 1,841-kilometer corridor of the South Caucasus gas pipeline, aims to transport Azerbaijani natural gas from the giant Shah Deniz-2 field to European markets through Georgia and Turkey. This project has already been launched and the article discusses its geopolitical implications for our country.
