    Russian Analyst Stresses Iran's Important Role in Caucasus Security


    TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran together with Russia and Turkey play an important
    role in the security of the Southern Caucasus region, a Russian
    political analyst said, and asked the three states to start trilateral
    efforts to manage and guarantee security in the region.

    `Iran has a special place in the security of the strategic and highly
    tense Southern Caucasus region,' Director of the Russian Center for
    Socio-Political Studies Vladimir Yevseyev wrote on Iran.ru Russian
    website.

    Yevseyev said that Tehran, Moscow and Ankara can jointly form a
    regional security alliance.

    `Three main parameters determine the security situation in the
    Southern Caucasus; Syrian crisis, Iran's nuclear issue and the
    long-term negative consequences of Russia-Georgia war in August 2008,'
    the Russian expert said.

    He underlined that holding trilateral consultations among Iran, Russia
    and Turkey in the near future would help devise joint solutions to
    armed conflicts in the region, and said, `In that case not only will
    the outbreak of a new war in the Southern Caucasus be prevented, but
    also appropriate conditions will be set for resolving the
    Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and South Ossetia disputes.'

    The Caucasus, a region at the border of Europe and Asia, is situated
    between the Black and the Caspian Seas. It is home to the Caucasus
    Mountains, which contain Europe's highest mountain, Mount Elbrus.
