Briefly, I will show why Armenia and Azerbaijan form a regional security complex build upon enmity. Since 1990 Armenia and Azerbaijan are în an on-going over Nagorno Karabakh which is considered a frozen conflict.

a frozen conflict. Applying the variables of RSCT, we can see that Armenia and Azerbaijan hâș the same boundary, being neighbours, they share the geopolitical aspiration to annex Nagorno Karabach territory. The anarchic structure variable is also present because the regional security complex is formed by two autonomous units: Azerbaijan and Armenia. The social construction is based on historical enmity between these two countries since the war of 1990. Moreover, we can observe the involvement of other big powers such Russia

Moldova and Ukraine form also a regional security complex because of Transnistrian conflict. This regional security complex is also based on enmity.
