Karabakh settlement is decisive for creating Great Caucuses -analyst
17:02 - 12.11.11
The most actual issues in the Transcaucasus region are its protracted
conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Azerbaijani
political analyst Rasim Aghaev has said in an interview with Regnum.
However, the settlement of the Karabakh conflict is decisive in the
implementation of the `Great Caucasus' - a project Aghaev claims the
US is implementing to bring post-Soviet countries out of Russia's
orbit of influence.
`If it is solved in Azerbaijan's favor, it means it will be hard for
the Americans to solve those issues with Armenia, and vice versa,'
Aghaev said.
`I think the NK issue will be settlement together with the
Armenia-Turkey normalization. A lot is being done in Turkey over that
issue. We are at the threshold of major shifts,' he explained.
Further, he said that in case the Karabakh conflict is settled the US
is planning to unite all the countries in the South and North Caucasus
at the Great Caucasus geographical area.
Once this is done, Russia will lose that region for ever.
