    STATEMENT: POLICY PURSUED BY GEORGIA CONTRADICTS LOGIC OF POLITICAL PROCESS IN SOUTH CAUCASUS

    Regnum, Russia
    Dec 25 2006

    On December 25, a round-table discussion was held in Yerevan, Armenia,
    under the title "Georgia's Policy and regional safety" organized by
    Mitk Analytical Center. The panel adopted a statement on results of
    the discussion. REGNUM publishes its full text.

    "Participants of the round-table discussion, considering the situation
    in South Caucasus as extremely unstable and explosive, taking into
    account the long lasting ethnical political conflicts in the region,
    realizing the responsibility of the countries of the region and their
    leaders, and also participants of regional process in the person
    of world powers, recognizing the inalienable right of a nation for
    peaceful and creative development, and also for a free choice of their
    historical fate, have to announce that the policy pursued by current
    Georgian authorities contradicts logic of the international political
    process in South Caucasus, historical trends in the region; creates
    an atmosphere of confrontation and threat to the balance of forces
    in region; contradicts interests of Armenia, creating insurmountable
    difficulties in development of natural economical, communicational and
    humanitarian relations with their strategic partner Russia; damages
    the traditionally good neighborly relations between the nations of
    Armenia and Georgia; undermines the rights and freedoms of Armenians
    and other national minorities living in the territory of Georgia,
    creating an atmosphere of intolerance inside Georgia itself and in
    relations with neighboring countries.

    The participants of the round table discussion are calling upon
    exerting pressure upon President M. Saakashvili and other Georgian
    leaders so that they could take a sober view of the situation in their
    country and in the region in general; build relations with Armenia on
    the basis of good neighborhood and mutual benefit; pursue a policy not
    contradicting national interests of other peoples and the countries in
    the region; demonstrate tolerance and respect to rights and freedoms of
    all people living in Georgia, providing implementation of international
    norms and requirements on protection of rights of national minorities."
