The current processes in the South Caucasus are inadequate, since
the parties directly involved in the conflict are often not engaged
in its resolution, according to a Georgian expert.
"Processes which are supposed to be peaceful are not such, as a
matter of fact. They hamper resolution of conflicts," said Alexander
Rusetski, executive director of the South Caucasus Institute of
Regional Security.
"To resolve the existing problems the ideological motives should be
examined. "Regional conflicts should be denationalized and a common
approach should be developed," he said.
Commenting on the Armenian-Turkish dialogue, he said that Turkey
intensified activities to prevent strengthening of Russian factor in
the South Caucasus, specifically after the war in South Ossetia.
"Although the dialogue seems to be really frozen, the Protocols created
a good basis to end the lingering hostility," Mr. Rusetski said.
As to the Karabakh conflict settlement, he said the danger of war
still persists. He also added that the population and natives of
Karabakh should take part in the negotiations.
