Just a point of fact: Gallipoli is far from the Caucasus (indeed, Greece is just as close to the Caucasus).

But your right, it isn't a great example, it was the local connection (NZ) that got me there (we had Britain rather than the US as the master back then). However my point was that it isn't just the Russians who have had imperial ambitions there.
