AN ANALYSIS OF THE GAS AND SUITCASE TRADES BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY DURING THE YELTSIN ERA (1992-2000) WITHIN THE FRAME OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INTERACTIONS

Abstract

Relations between any two countries may be studied under three main headings: political, economic, cultural. These main headings can be further divided into subheadings. In the present study, both political and economic relations are each analyzed under 15 subheadings. Subsequently, political and economic interactions
between Turkey and the Russian Federation during the Yeltsin era are examined within the context of the case study of the gas and “suitcase” trades.
