Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to analyse the reactions of Russia, Turkey and Iran (the regional powers that make up the 3+3 platform with the Caucasian Republics) to the Third War in Nagorno-Karabakh. For the purpose of this article, a research hypothesis was developed that neither Russia nor Iran are Armenia’s real allies in the South Caucasus, because after the Third War in Nagorno-Karabakh broke out, both countries decided not to take any steps that would harm the interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan and also strengthen the position of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The article mainly uses content analysis (by looking at the statements made by Russia, Turkey and Iran regarding the actions taken by Azerbaijan on 19 September 2023) and the decision-making method (in determining what factors drove the governments in Moscow, Ankara and Tehran to take certain steps in the face of another flare-up in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh).
