Caucasus - Zone of Russian Strategic Interests conference took place
at Yusupov Hall in Moscow on the initiative of Terrorism Threat
Analysis Center, which constantly monitors problems of Russian policy
in Caucasus.
Representatives of Russian expert community, ethnic Diasporas and
communities (Armenian, Georgian, Kurdish) and guests from Armenia
took part in conference.
Speakers also referred to topics not directly related to South
Caucasus.
Andrey Areshev, expert at Strategic Culture Foundation, noted that
Caucasus is more often linked to Central Asia.
"The Obama administration did not change the U.S. policy, but on
the contrary, made it more flexible and dynamic. The countries
of the region are offered new schemes and options by U.S. but not
Russia. Armenian-Turkish relations dynamics is an obvious example,"
he said.
Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations and its possible influence
on Russian military presence in region were also discussed.
Other issues in focus were: energy factors, military instability,
security of cargo transportation and reduction of military risks. It
is well known that these rates are based on reliable information of
conflict dynamics in different regions.
Ruben Zargaryan, Advisor to NKR Foreign Minister, dwelled on different
aspects of Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution.
