/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Caucasus is a shaky region where local conflicts
can easily burst out. That is why the international community should
be more cautious about Caucasus' security problems and address
settlement of territorial and ethnic conflicts, said Zbigniew
Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carrter,
CSIS Counselor and Trustee.
Commenting on Kosovo as a precedent, Mr Brzezinski said, "Kosovo's
aspiration for independence was supported by the European Union, which
is responsible for further decisions. Independence was a democratic
expression of will of Kosovars. I do not think that Kosovo can set
a precedent for Abkhazia, South Ossetia or Karabakh."
Asked about U.S.' reaction to possible recognition of Abkhazia
by Russia, Mr Brzezinski said, "America will not recognize
pseudo-independence," Georgia Online reports.
