/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey’s Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Pact is
not realistic, since it’s supposed to be represented by two regional
powers – Russia and Turkey, said research director of the Stockholm
Central Asia-Caucasus Institute.

"Advancing such an initiative, Turkey proceeds from its own
interests. May be the initiative has big potential for normalization
of the Armenian-Turkish relations but globally it doesn’t have any
future," Svante Cornell told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Following hostilities in South Ossetia, Ankara offered formation of a
Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform, which could unite Turkey,
Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

RA President Serzh Sarsgyan welcomed the initiative as an attempt to
create a favorable atmosphere in the region
