/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Offering its Caucasus Stability and Cooperation
Pact, Turkey was guided by an aspiration to interfere into Caucasus
affairs, Vladimir Zakharov, head of the center of Caucasus Studies
at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO),
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "It just took over the initiative
like Sarkozy did to become the major mediator in the Russian-Georgian
collision," he said.
"The international community has finally understood that
U.S. statements regarding Georgia are empty and merely
emotional. Turkey, to counterbalance the United States, wants
to manifests itself as a powerful regional player. By the way,
Turkish officials' frequent visits to Russia are held without prior
consultations with the U.S," he said.
At that he noted that the Caucasus Platform will not function
without Iran.
"Actually, Saakashvili frustrated the U.S. plans to attack
Iran. But it's worth mentioning that his actions have a
scientific explanation. "Autumn exacerbation" is typical for
schizophrenics. Anyway, it's impossible to understand why he started
bombing Tskhinvali," the Russia expert emphasized.
