Ministries, the Babajan-Nalbandian meetings, and last but not least
the arrival of the head of Turkish MFA at the summit of Black Sea
Economic Cooperatipn Organization (BSEC)-all this is an evidence for
the dialogue start. Another motive for the research were the events
of August 2008 and the Stability Platform in the Caucasus proposed by

more specifically this summer," Giragosyan said.
