    RUSSIA INTERESTED IN STABLE SOUTH CAUCASUS - LAVROV

    The Messenger, Georgia
    April 4 2007

    Russia is interested in a stable, secure and flourishing South
    Caucasus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a joint
    press conference together with his Armenian Counterpart Vardan Oskanyan
    in Yerevan.

    "Many players, including the European Union express their interest
    in the South Caucasian region. This interest is incomprehensible. We
    believe that interests should be realized through taking into account
    the mutual cooperation on issues and stability in the region",
    Lavrov said.

    As to the security issues, Oskanyan pointed out that frontier troops
    of Russia protect the Turkish-Armenian border in accordance to the will
    of the two states - Armenia and Russia, RIA Novosti agency reports.

    "Indeed, each state protects its own interests. This is of much
    importance for Armenia from the state security point of view",
    Oskanyan said.
