    MOSCOW. - A war in Iran could cause a serious instability in the
    Caucasus and prompt uncontrollable migration processes, CIS
    Anti-Terrorism Center Director Andrei Novikov told news reporters on
    Wednesday.

    In his words, if an aggression is waged, the likely geopolitical
    shifts will be difficult to calculate. `Immigration inconveniences are
    possible,' Novikov stated.

    The Anti-Terrorism Center Director also did not rule out that in case
    of military operations, a refugee flow could start from Iran toward
    neighboring CIS countries. He also reminded that a large number of
    ethnic Azerbaijanis live in Iran.

    `Everything possible is being done so that such instability is not
    created in the Caspian Basin and in the South Caucasus,' Andrei
    Novikov maintained, RIA Novosti News Agency of Russia informs.
