  • Hans Kochler: Regional Coop must for Preservation of Nat'l Autocracy

    ACCORDING TO HANS KOCHLER, PRESERVATION OF NATIONAL AUTOCRACY IS
    POSSIBLE ONLY UNDER CONDITIONS OF REGIONAL COOPERATION

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The regional cooperation can be a
    factor for providing balance of forces during the formation of a global
    security system. This conviction was expressed by Hans Kochler
    (Austria), the President of the International Progress Organization and
    a Professor of the Innsbruck University, at the press conference
    titiled "The countries of the Caucasus and Near East as possible
    partners in the process of the formation of a regional security system"
    organized on February 7.

    According to him, despite the UN efforts, the abolition of the two-pole
    world order caused the weakening of the collective security system and
    endangered the regional stability. The regions are subject to
    contradictary external influences, which restrict the freedom of the
    actions of the sides during the regulation of the existing conflicts.
    Under such conditions Hans Kochler attached importance to the creation
    of such systems of regional cooperation as the European Union, the
    partnership of the countries of the South-East Asia, the cooperation
    council of the countries of the Persian Gulf, and the recently created
    African Union. According to him, the existence of one power pole is a
    temporary phenomenon and the regional cooperation can be a considerable
    contribution to the creation of a multi-pole world order. "The creation
    of the security system between the Caucasus and the Near East was the
    very case," Hans Kochler mentioned.

    The interregional cooperation will contribute to the relaxation of the
    strain inside each region and to the regulation of the existing
    conflicts. For the purpose of providing a long-term cooperation, the
    countries of the region should renounce or restrict their membership in
    such military alliances, the invloved forces in which are outside the
    region. He mentioned that NATO, which was a regional organization at
    the moment of its creation, was submitted to considerable changes after
    the end of the cold war and the unilateral expansion of that
    organization can be dangerous for the other countries of the region.
    According to Hans Kochler, the creation of inter and intraregional
    security systems can save states and countries from becoming the victim
    of the "distribute and rule" policy. "The preservation of the national
    autocracy is impossible in case of being isolated from regional
    developments," the speaker expressed conviction.
