Turkey’s Caucasus platform demands an “open game”
Hurriyet
Turkey’s proposal to form the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform demands an “open game”, an Armenian website quoted a Russian expert as saying.
“As a rule, cooperation becomes possible if the sides waive their national interests to combat a common enemy or if there is a necessity of diversification of economic relations. Under the global financial and energy crisis, the Caucasus states could reach an agreement to resolve the existing conflicts and secure beneficial economic cooperation,” senior lecturer at Saint-Petersburg State University and deputy editor at the Center of Oriental Studies, Alexander Sotnichenko said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
Turkey proposed to set up a platform for cooperation and stability in the Caucasus to help the resolution of conflicts through dialogue after the Russia-Georgia conflict in August.
Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the countries planned to take part in this formation had voiced optimism. However, the possibility of the proposal has been questioned by some analysts, as the region continues to play host a number of conflicts, especially between Russia and Georgia, Azerbaijan-Armenia and Turkey-Armenia.

Unfreezing the frozen conflicts: Is Nagorno-Karabakh next?
Hurriyet
The developments of the summer of 2008 in Caucasus are likely to open the Pandora’s box and to have an impact on the frozen conflicts that are the legacy of the Soviet Union.
Russia’s recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two breakaway regions of Georgia, as independent states is sure to have ripple effects on other conflicts — Moldova’s Transdniester and Nagorno-Karabakh, a region within Azerbaijan but invaded by Armenia.
The disputed Nagorno-Karabakh territory differs from the other frozen conflicts.
Unlike South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Transdniester, the population of Nagorno-Karabakh does not hold Russian passports and does not seek extensive Russian patronage.
Rather, its goal is outright independence, or barring that, reintegration with Armenia.
Still the road to resolve this conflict goes through Moscow as well.
The conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia began in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
