    MP: "CAUCASIAN ALLIANCE" IMPORTANT TO ARMENIA

    ARKA
    Sep 3, 2008

    YEREVAN, September 3. /ARKA/. Development of a regional cooperation
    platform is very important to Armenia, member of Armenian Parliament
    from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia Chairman of Parliament
    Commission on Financial Issues Gagik Minasyan said.

    The alliance is first of all an economic initiative enabling
    direct settlement of the regional political issues, he told a press
    conference.

    On August 11, Turkish Premier Erdogan proposed creating a Caucasian
    Alliance to stabilize the regional situation and involve the countries
    of the region, as well as Russia, the USA and Turkey. Turkish Foreign
    Minister Ali Babajan is expected to negotiate with his Russian
    counterpart Sergey Lavrov on format of dialogue with Armenia.

    According to Minasyan, Azerbaijan may oppose formation of the platform
    as it is trying to hold Turkey "captive" in Armenian-Azerbaijani
    conflict.

    According to the MP, substantial changes cannot be achieved in the
    region without economic development. Minasyan also pointed out that
    implementation of the initiative will unblock Armenia and will help
    prevent possible humanitarian catastrophes in the region.
