RESHAPING EURO-ATLANTIC AND EURASIAN DEFENCE COMPONENT OF SECURITY WITHIN THE WIDER BLACK SEA AREA
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 2
Abstract
"Disposing of a significant political,economic, military and demographic potential, the Black Sea Basin is doubtless capturing the Euro-Atlantic interests in the area while representing the Mediterranean basin’s extension to the Baltic Sea and towards Central Asia and Middle East, further on. Under these circumstances, the Black Sea Basin and its adjacent area become the ‘control tower’ for the Eurasian space and the ‘moderator’ for the Middle East”
