    HUMANITARIAN AND ECONOMIC FIELDS TO BRING PEACE TO SOUTH CAUCASUS - EXPERTS

    Sergey Markov, head of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics,
    and Maksim Shevchenko, told Vestnik Kavkaza that the settlement of
    the conflicts of the early 1990s was the key to peace in the South
    Caucasus.

    Shevchenko said that Azerbaijani, Georgia and Ossetian refugees should
    be given an opportunity to return to their territories. Humanitarian
    agreements following the process would allow discussions about the
    state and political structure of South Caucasus. The expert expressed
    hope that the upcoming meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
    presidents would be constructive. He expects the negotiations to
    result in Azerbaijani refugees returning to their territories in
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Markov believes that settlement of the situation in South Caucasus
    should start with economic initiatives, such as formation of a big
    trade zone and encouragement of economic cooperation. Azerbaijan,
    Georgia, Armenia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Russia, Turkey and Iran
    should be part of the economic zone. The expert has hope that the
    upcoming talks will bring new approaches to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    peace process.
