/PanARMENIAN.Net/ South Caucasus is one of the hottest zones in the
post soviet territory, says a report issued by Russian Strategic
Culture Foundation.

`Russia’s passive role in the Caucasus has predetermined strengthening
of West’s positions, especially in 1990-ies. As result, Georgia has
become a U.S. outpost; Azerbaijan is facing the same fate. Attempts to
gain Armenia are still undertaken.

Against the background, unrecognized republics ` Abkhazia, Nagorno
Karabakh and South Ossetia appear as Russia’s allies. Under
U.S.-subordinate Saakashvili’s rule, Georgia continues to aggravate
the situation,’ the report says.

`If Georgia and Ukraine are invited to NATO the situation will worsen
even more. Russia’s geopolitical potential will weaken considerably,’
it says.
