Abstract

The concept of border is one of the most overemphasized and controversial topics of political geography. It can be stated that it has become a popular study field from that aspect. Considering the fact that today’s world has been composed of structures called states and areas of sovereignty which have been registered by them, it is understood that the borders are very important elements regarding these sovereignty areas. However, all the borders do not share the same characteristics. While some of the borders are means of isolation, some of them bear a symbolical meaning. This research study discusses the state border between Turkey and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic from the political geography perspective. A general description was made with the history of the border, general geographical features of the border zone and treaties. As a result, it is possible to state that the short border between the two countries has almost become invisible due to intense interactions, that is to say, it has become symbolical because both sides of the shared border is a follow-up of one another both naturally and culturally.
