Abstract

Due to its vast energy resources and its geopolitical situation, the Central Asia is still strategically so important for the European Union. For that reason, since 1991 the Union has developed its bilateral relations with the Central Asian states and it has provided technical and financial assistance to the regional projects. The trade relations with the Union and regional states have been improved. But the Union can not materialize it objectives mentioned by the regional strategies within a very short time, because the regional regimes are authoritarian and some Union members do not desire to implement coercive measures against the regional states in order to see democratization and respect for human rights in the region because of not damaging their relations with the Central Asian states. However, providing financial and technical assistance by the Union and the development of its relations with the regional states within the framework of Partnership and Cooperation Agreements have made positive contribution to the regional stability and development of the regional states.

Özet

Orta Asya bölgesi, enerji kaynakları ve jeopolitik konumu nedeniyle, Avrupa Birliği için stratejik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu durumdan ötürü, Birlik, 1991 yılından itibaren, Orta Asya devletleri ile ikili ilişkilerini geliştirirken, bölgenin kalkınması için bölgesel projelerde aktif rol üstlenmiştir. Birlik ile bölge ülkeleri arasındaki ticari ilişkilerde gelişme göstermektedir. Ancak Birliğin, bölgesel stratejilerinde ifade ettiği hedeflerini kısa vadede hayata geçirmesi mümkün değildir. Çünkü bölge rejimleri otoriter anlayışı benimsemiştir. Birlik üyeleri, kendi stratejik çıkarlarına zarar gelmemesi için demokratikleşme konusunda bölge ülkelerine baskı yapılmasına karşı çıkmaktadır. Yine de Birliğin, bölge projelerine mali ve teknik sağlaması ve bölge ülkeleriyle Ortaklık ve İşbirliği Antlaşmaları çerçevesinde ilişkilerini geliştirmesi, bölge istikrarına ve kalkınmasına olumlu etki yapmaktadır.
