Georgia’s President Mikhail Saakashvili signed the variant of the
document on assessing threats against Georgia for 2007-2009. APA
reports quoting Novosti Gruziya that according to the document,
conflicts in the neighboring countries have negative influence on
Georgia’s security.

"Frozen conflict in Karabakh impedes the formation of common interests
among South Caucasus countries concerning the issues of foreign policy
and security and rapid development of the region. If Karabakh conflict
breaks out, the situation in the region will become tenser and it will
pose threat for the implementation of transport and energy projects,"
the document says.
