/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Following the August war in South Caucasus, the
region lacks security, IISS Director of Russian and Eurasian programs
Oksana Antonenko said today during Yerevan-Kiev TV bridge on "New
Political Landscape in South Caucasus".

The expert enumerated several positive moments that may be favorable
for the elaboration of such algorithm. It may impart positive impulses
to American-Russian relations, increasing EU’s role as a stakeholder
in security sphere and expected normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties,
she said.

"Caucasus platform proposed after August war is still in a stagnant
state. Progress in the elaboration of a regional algorithm will
be possible in case South Caucasian states propose initiatives,"
expert noted.
