/PanARMENIAN.Net/ New dividing lines emerged between the West and
East, Professor of Conflict Resolution at George Mason University,
Dennis J. D. Sandole said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Attacking South Ossetia, Saakashvili knew he will lose, but he
wanted to draw the international community's attention to frozen
conflicts. It was a call for Russia, U.S., Turkey, NATO and EU. Under
the circumstances, the governments of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia
can't use frozen conflicts for their own purposes," he said. "I can
suppose the following scenario: Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev will
not be "infected by recklessness" of his Georgian counterpart. Turkey
will persuade Baku to search for new ways to resolve the Karabakh
conflict. Russia will work with Armenia."
"All what is happening in the South Caucasus is for strengthening
of Turkey and Russia's security, which need support of the regional
countries. Turkey's Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform proved
formation of a new control mechanism, like the one implemented in
Balkans," the expert said.
