"The future of the Caucasus must be determined jointly by the the Caucasus countries" - Salome Zurabishvili.

 

" In connection with the importance of stability in the region, we also discussed the alarming situation in Ukraine. Escalation and destabilization threaten the Black Sea region and beyond. We understand how important de-escalation is to the region even today. We discussed the future potential of our region, which is unique in terms of economy. The increased interest from various outside players, and the new plans or platforms we hear about, confirm the importance of this region, although the role of the Caucasus countries remains crucial. The future of the Caucasus must be determined jointly by the countries of the Caucasus.

This was stated by Salome Zurabishvili at a joint press conference after a meeting with the president of Armenia.
