to be the only state capable of establishing peace in Caucasus,
MGIMO Caucasus Study Center Deputy Director Vladimir Zakharov told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. According to him, Turkey assumed this
position even since last year’s August war. "Right after August events
Ankara came forth with a suggestion to create security and stability
platform in Caucasus, meaning to prove Turkey was the first state to
initiate peace process, though it’s common knowledge French President
Nicolas Sarkozy was the main mediator," the expert said.

issue to be resolved without its participation.

Europe and Turkey are working towards "Peace roads" project
