Settlement of conflicts gives up being the objective of geopolitics
if those conflicts are not obstacles for geopolitical communications.
World superpowers take up the settlement of this or that conflict
only in case it hinders their geopolitical plans. However, apparently,
a new approach appeared in geopolitics: to decide the communicational
and logistical tasks without getting involved in the conflict.
In this sense, Serge Sargsyan's statement that Turkey could open the
Armenian and Turkish border without the ratification of the protocols
is quite symptomatic. Evidently, no one cares for the establishment
of political relations if the border opens, everything will leave
both Armenia and Turkey in peace, says Serge Sargsyan tired of tension.
A number of other facts prove the existence of a new method in
geopolitics. Say, the statement of the French foreign minister Barnard
Kouchner that the French government may recognize the independence of
Palestine before the definition of the future borders of the country.
Communicational issues between Russia and Georgia are also settled.
The Georgian foreign ministry has already informed that on March 1,
an official opening of the Upper Lars checkpoint is planned. Political
issues are again not settled, but the border will be opened.
The boundary between Georgia and Abkhazia remains. In today's The
Guardian an article which noted that "Western friends of Georgia
are to persuade Saakashvili to return to real life and recognize
the lost territories" was published. "Only in this way a solution
to stabilize the situation in the Caucasus can be found, that is,
to achieve what is a common interest for all", the article runs.
Serbia got adapted with the existence of Kosovo and is going to open
the communication. Again proceeding from common interest.
