/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia will support Turkey's Caucasus Stability
and Cooperation Pact, an Armenian expert said.
"I think Russia and Turkey will continue talks on the issue because of
strained relations with the U.S. Russia brisks up relations with Turkey
and is interested in opening of the Armenian-Turkish border. True, the
Caucasus pact is not a security organization and will hardly become
such. But it will have its part in the region," Ruben Safrastyan,
director of the institute of oriental studies at the RA national
academy of sciences, told a news conference in Yerevan today.
The Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Pact was offered by Turkish
Prime Minister Erdogan after the Georgian-South Ossetian clashes. It
is supposed to unite Turkey, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
