The diagnostics of conflicts in the South Caucasus is on a very low
level, director of South Caucasus Institute for Regional Security of
Georgia Alexander Rusetsky told a press conference today, analyzing
the issues of conflict resolution and establishment of peace in the
region. He sees a danger of resumption of military action in Karabakh.
The South Caucasus Institute for Regional Security has published
a book, which notes that the conflicting parties should not suffer
because of the ambitions of the international community.
"International structures have actually failed many processes targeted
at maintenance of peace. The effectiveness of their activity gives
occasion to think that international organizations have serious
problems with the attempts to maintain peace," Alexander Rusetsky said.
Today Russia and Turkey are to a certain extent involved in the
processes taking place in the region. After the 5-day Russian-Georgian
war Turkey came forth with an initiative of establishing a Security
and Stability Platform in the Caucasus, which did not come true,
but clearly demonstrated Turkey's aspirations.
Director of South Caucasus Institute for Regional Security emphasized
the importance of the Armenian-Turkish process. "Although the
ratification of the protocols is suspended, the process will continue
in case proper conditions are provided," he said.
Geopolitical extremism poses a serious danger, Alexander Rusetsky
said. According to him, formats other than the OSCE Minsk Group
can exist for the settlement of the Karabakh issue. He said other
role-players could be included in those structures, adding that
first of all the people of Karabakh should participate in determining
their future.
