Title ProperRussian diplomacy and the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement
LanguageENG
AuthorChernyavsky, S
Publication2012.
Summary / Abstract (Note)THE CONFLICT SURROUNDING Nagorno-Karabakh and the adventurous acts of Georgia's leadership ratchet up tensions in the North Caucasus thus hampering war on terrorism and holding up economic development all over the Caucasus. This makes peaceful settlement of territorial and ethno-political problems of the former Soviet republics in Transcaucasia one of the important priorities for Russian diplomacy.
Attempts are being made as before in this region, which is home to a unique community of tens of millions of people, to divide it into spheres of influence. In the meantime, the common responsibility and overriding task of the states in the region (including Russia) consist in getting the situation in the Caucasus under close joint control, extinguishing the conflicts and dealing with their aftereffects. The road to prosperity of its peoples lies through development and broader cooperation, reliance on their collective experience in political, economic, scientific and technological interaction, the common cultural legacy and the common history of Russia and of other people of the Caucasus.
