/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The August war in South Ossetia has considerably
changed the situation in the Caucasus. Now, the West's major task
is to find a partner in the South Caucasus, Karen Bekaryan, head of
European Integration NGO, told a news conference in Yerevan today.
"It's not a secret that the South Caucasus is attractive not only for
Washington but also for Moscow," he said, adding that the 'football
diplomacy' launched by the Armenian President last year sped up
the events.
"Numerous meeting in Munich and Davos were held on the initiative of
European states," Bekaryan said.
He also drew attention to Serzh Sargsyan's speech at the Munich
Security Conference. "The head of state focused on regional security
and confidence-building measures. He also mentioned about Armenia's
isolation from some regional projects," he said.
"If Armenia manages to combine initiative foreign policy with the
course of reforms, the republic can change the image of the South
Caucasus," Bekaryan concluded.
