expert says
October 02, 2010 | 14:50
The South Caucasian region is very complicated with a number of
unresolved conflicts that are difficult to agree on or there is no
wish to, Nikolay Zlobin, director of the Russia and Eurasia Project at
the World Security Institute, said, speaking at a press conference in
Yerevan.
He considers there is no cultural compromise in the South Caucasus,
each side has its motives. According to him, the South Caucasus is a
very important region where the interests of all world players and
international organizations meet. `Situation in the South Caucasus
affects the situation in nearby regions as well,' the expert said.
Zlobin also stressed that `voices' of regional states are hardly heard
in the context of deepening interests of world players. `It turns that
external players act and speak instead of them, usually guided by
their own interests, not the regional ones,' he added. The expert
called on the regional states to be more active and initiative, try to
get closer to their enemies and make neutral countries their friends,
as communication with friends is pleasant but inefficient.
