ArmInfo. Russia thinks the Caucasus Stability and Cooperation
Platform initiated by Ankara has a big potential, director of the
4th Department of CIS countries of the Foreign Ministry of Russia,
Andrey Kelin, said at the International Conference ‘Armenia on the
Intersection of Communications’ held in Tsakhadzor.

‘It is very much important for us that via setting up of such a
platform we shall be able to come up to resolving of some problems
without involvement of the non-regional players which would like
to have influence in the region, but they are not present in this
platform’, – he said.

Kelin also added that in Moscow they still do not know how the platform
will develop in future, but they hope to establish useful interaction
in the five-sided format via the Platform ‘with those they are talking
to at present’.
