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.
